What is the general concensus for the time frame to get a medical before the
"interview"? Is there a maximum number of days that they might not accept results if
taken too soon before that date? I am just starting process and while I have the time
I had planned on doing as much ahead of time as possible. Any clarifcation or
experiences would be much appreciated.

Generally, consulates won't give you the necessary paperwork for the medical (packet 4) until you've turned in your paperwork for packet 3. At that time they normally schedule a final interview date a few weeks into the future and in the meantime, you get your medical done at one of their approved doctors, so timing won't be an issue.....

I don't know for sure if this is consistant for every consulate, but in our case the
medical exam was good for one year.
