I need a little guidance and anyone who has faced a similar situation/ or has any suggestions is most welcome to add their comments.

We got our first letter (dated july 9' 2011) asking for re-filled supplement and other forms, along with my husband's passport copy. That makes my Brought Forward date approx 23rd aug. I am planning to travel to the US in Aug/ around eid time but I'm hesitant because my re-med might come during that time frame. Secondly, I've also heard and read of cases where they request the re-med within 20 or so days of submission of documents, which would be great for us, but I'm thinking of the worst-case scenario right now.

Now, my main concern is that assuming I go to the US in aug; and my re-med request comes in the mean time, will I be able to get my re-med done from anywhere (ie: US) as long as I take the re-med form with me (which my father-in-law will send me via courier to the US) or will I have to come back to pakistan, get my med done and THEN wait (in Pak) for god knows how long before they ask me for my passport/ visa issuance?

Anyone?

Thanks in advance.

Canada Post will take atleast 2weeks to deliver, and courier would be a little expensive but 2-3 days service, the choice is yours:

ok confirmed, the remedical letter clearly states that if you are not in a country of residence for extended period of time, you can use DMO in that country also

You are right,

I did the same thing long time ago, when I was in the USA and had to get my medical done. I paid the courier charges to my DMP and she had the results mailed to New Delhi.

thanks a lot saggit! your detailed reply really helped..but just a couple of questions:

1) courier results go to new delhi? wasn't it supposed to be chc-isl? Do they have the new delhi address or will I have to provide it? (coz I don't know the address)
2) I've heard it takes longer if you get your med done from anywhere other than your home country. is it true? we wouldn't want to unnecessarily increase the timeline just by my being in the US.

thanks in advance.

If you have an electronic copy of the documents then it should be okay. I wouldn't suggest scanning documents and sending them to your wife as they would no longer be an actual receipt/bill but a copy, so its totally upto you what you want to do. If I was you I would send the original :)

I had my medical results go to New Delhi, not sure about the time delay though.
I am guessing if you send out the medical results through express service(2-3 days), then there shouldn't be any delay.


Also, I'd advise that if you are getting your medical done from the US, do send an email to the embassy informing them, that you have sent your medical from the USA.
