How about sms? They replied to me after 30mins when I texted them. They usually respond to queries within the day. Just wait for their reply.

Ok thanks

Yep. You have to bring your eyeglasses.

They do the normal ones but they will ask you to do it with and without the eyeglasses

But I don't use eyeglasses..

The medical request letter states:

What must I bring to my appointment?

• Eyeglasses or contact lenses, if worn.

Therefore, if you don't wear glasses you don't need to bring them... I'd imagine the tests are similar to the wall chart test optometrists use.

Well, if you've been for an eye test and have been told you need glasses then you'll need to bring them and wear them. If you've got a fashionista pair that do nothing but make you look fancy then, no, you don't need them.

I have another question which is better St luke or IOM.. cause I heard some negative feedback about iom

Every time I mention I'm in the process of moving here, that's the first thing they ask. I live in "The South" so it's even more prevalent.
It's an added bonus though LOL

My PA is also from Philippines. We went to IOM on February 4. I am the sponsor but in Philippines currently and went to IOM with my wife. Only took about 2-3 hours (mostly waiting for our turn) and we had Medical passed after 1 day. We booked IOM through SMS and it was very easy for us. Note they are cash only and better to get there early.
I based the decision to go to IOM instead of St Lukes based off this thread:

Medical scheduled for March 8th because it coincides with opening day of Six Flags! Making a fun trip out of it. Cost of exam is $475. Ouch.

I checked ECAS and it says "we sent you medical instructions on February 19, 2019. To avoid delays, please provide us the information requested in the letter as soon as possible. Please consider delays in mail delivery before contacting us."

Neither me or my wife (PA) have received any email. Can someone confirm if there is a delay in emails? Also, from where can I book the medical test.
