I believe they are slow as in my case from remedical to PPR took two months and half , I noticed other VO take less than that. Anyway I submitted my passport to Cairo VFS as they mentioned in the letter nearest visa center. I’m not sure if it was good decision but now I have nothing to do except waiting :rolleyes:

They can do upfront but It’s better for them to wait until receive the medical examination instruction because in the sheet there is IME number and the panel physician will need this number to upload the results
