Hello,
Pls are u given only ONE piece of filled paper and a CD of your XRay when you collect your medicals?
With a small note attached.

Also, the medical report (the paper) isn’t sealed
Yes, that’s your vaccination record. You have nothing to worry about.

.

they automatically send your examination to the embassy so no worries. the one they gave you is yours to take to the state,that's like a starting point for your doctor when you get there.

Compliments of the season, everyone. Good job you’re doing here.

Please, has anyone with LGS2023 … case number clicked ‘Yes’ to that question on the portal, scheduled an interview, attended the interview and got their visa approved without encountering any problem or getting asked how they got the date?

My case number is also LGS2023 … and my status changed to ‘Ready’ since October but I am still yet to be contacted by the Consulate. After going through this thread and seeing that we are meant to click ‘yes’ to that question instead of ‘No’, I spoke to my fiancée about it; but she’s a bit concerned about the possibility of encountering a problem along the way, which may prove counterproductive in the long run.

Please anyone who has actually got their visa approved even though they got their interview date by clicking ‘yes’ to that question on the portal? Thank you as you respond.

This is not the group for your case, but for this you have to wait to hear from the embassy regarding the interview and medicals and it is also good if you can contact the embassy as a reminder that the case is already with them and what is the next step.

Ok the new process is for you to wait until you receive email notification from the embassy to go ahead and book a date whenever they have more interview slots.
So make sure you’re checking your emails and join the group of ppl waiting for date. You can contact the embassy to ask questions too
