I scheduled my K1 Visa interview in June 2nd 2021 for July 9th.

I immediately called UC CHRISTUS's call center to ask about scheduling an appointment, and they told me the main panel physician Dr. Moore did not have any appointments available until August. They gave me her work email and told me to contact her.

After reaching out to the email, in a week they managed to create a "sobrecupo" or special appointment for June 23. They were very clear about what to bring to the medical appointment: documents printed, a big envelope, your vaccination history and several pictures.

In the appointment date, I waited about 15 minutes until I was allowed inside the office. Dr. Moore was nice and polite. For the vaccinations I was missing she recommended a place a few metro stations away to get them (RENVAC it is called). For the chicken pox vaccine I had to take a blood antibody test to test my acquired immunity to it. All tests: blood, urine and x-rays were taken in the same building as the doctor's office (Edificio Médico Alcántara). The whole process, including going to the vaccination building and taking the missing vaccine took about 3 hours. They would send all test's results through their internal information service.

About a week later the Dr. emailed me to go pick up my sealed medical envelope.

Overall it was a very positive experience, specially regarding the fact that they helped create an appointment to fit my interview date.
