Hello all,
My mother-in-law is near the end of a three year process to obtain the IR5 visa. She had her medical exam at St. Luke's today, didn't receive the clearance, and now has to wait for the sputum test. The earliest appointment she could book for that was May 23. Her embassy interview is scheduled for May 17th. While researching if we need to change the embassy appointment just now, I read this text on the Manila Embassy website:
In some cases, the SLMCEC will direct the applicant to engage in subsequent testing, requiring rescheduling of the original visa appointment. You must follow the guidance from the medical provider and will not be admitted if this is the case. SLMCEC does have the authority to provide this guidance to applicants; following this guidance and not appearing for your interview is the correct course of action and will not adversely affect your visa case.
Does this mean that when she is able to successfully obtain a medical clearance, SLMCEC will arrange a new interview time? Or they will inform the Embassy who will send an updated interview letter? Or is there another alternative that I'm not familiar with?
Thanks!
