Amount of visits on VWP/Medical

[Rachie07 4]

Dear All,

I have been in the usa visiting my husband for 8 days and due to return. I want to come back for anniversary in April - would the two visits pose an issue at POE? I had no problems getting through POE this time round but I am obviously concerned due to two visits being so close together. Has anyone done this and had any issues?

Also, in regards to the Visa Medical, I have self harmed only once and never, ever again (deepish scar) but have small scratches from other accidents. Would this cause me a problem at the medical. I have already researched this topic on UK forum members and all have seemed to be approved without issue. I just wanted to see if anyone has had any recent experience of this. I was placed on antidepressants (not for depression and was never diagnosed with depression). I am now well and healthy and have no mental health concerns whatsoever. Would I need to tick suffered with depression on the questionnaire for the medical paperwork? This is one of the few things I am really worried over. My husband and I have already spoken with an immigration attorney who said this wouldnt be a concern at the medical and that everything should be okay. I am just concerned this will be a red flag.

Any help on the above concerns VJ members would be much appreciated.

I do not see an issue with coming back in April, if you have never overstayed and you have always had a return ticket and been honest with them about your visit you should be fine! The only thing i would add is bring some proof of ties to your country if you havent done previously just incase they ask Better to be over prepaired than under right?

In regards to the medical, I had mine on the 6th feb and I have never self harmed but i was on anti depressants for a while, i got a letter from my GP and in it she stated that i was at no harm to myself, others or property when i got to the medical exam she did ask me if i had self harmed to which i said no, but when i told her i sufferd from depression she was very good about it she did ask me a few questions but aslong as they are convinced you arent likly to do it again then you will be fine good luck!

Thank you. I hope it will be okay. I have a letter from my doctor who doesnt think it will be a problem. I have spoken to our attorney who said it shouldnt be an issue but I just want to be sure nothing can prevent me from obtaining my visa. Thank you so much again for your help

Your welcome! Best of luck to you! I was nervous there would be an issue with my medical because of my past but it all went smoothly so i hope yours does too!
