Hi everyone
While I was having my medical yesterday the nurse told me that the embassy now only schedules interviews after you have had your medical. I have never heard this and so when I was with the dr I asked about it. The dr said that it is new policy that has been inplemented over the last week.

Has anyone else heard this? It would make sense as London has had my packet 3 for almost 3 weeks and I still havent heard anything.

I also met 2 ladies who were K1's but had never heard of VJ??? I soon pointed them in the right direction.

All I have heard is that you have to have your medical at least 5 days before your interview or it will be cancelled.
