How long does it take to get an interview after the medical examination to immigrate to the US?

After receiving an interview invitation from NVC, one of the most important things is to schedule a medical examination at the designated facility. Many people are worried about how long it will take to get an interview after the examination and whether they need to wait for the results or not.

How long before the interview should I be examined?

Normally, you should get examined a few days to a few weeks before the interview date, depending on the appointment schedule and instructions of the designated medical facility. Examining too close to the interview date may cause the results to not be completed in time.

After the examination, do I have to wait for the results?

Depending on the medical facility, results may be:

Send directly to the Consulate

Seal it for the applicant to bring to the interview

Schedule a date to receive your medical records

You need to follow the clinic's instructions exactly and do not arbitrarily open the sealed envelope if given one.

What if there is a shortage of vaccines?

The doctor may request additional missing vaccinations according to regulations. This may lengthen the time to complete the health examination, so it is recommended to prepare vaccination records if available.

Effectiveness of health examination

Immigration health examination results usually have a certain deadline. The granted immigration visa will also depend on the duration of the health examination results, so do not get examined too early if the interview date is still far away.
