Knightsbridge now denies on past Depression/Self-harm

[corvusheart 163]

Knightsbridge has some new doctors on board. And apparently now they can deny you for past depression and self harm even with a doctors note. I just wanted to get the message out there to warn those this effects.

[Nich-Nick 3,353]

Knightsbridge can NOT deny a visa. They are contracted to perform a medical exam and report the results to the embassy. Knightsbridge is not the American government. They have no jurisdiction over visa decisions.

If something in the medical report indicates a medical condition that makes a person inadmissable, then the officer at the embassy will make the decision on approval or denial of the visa.

You have no idea unless you were present at the exam what you fiancé said or how he acted. You don't have the REAL story, only what your fiancé chooses to tell you. He could have acted in a manner that made the doctor think he was unstable. They are evaluating his demeanor, reponses, and actions from the minute he walks in the door; all the time making it sound like thay are chatting about the weather or something. When coupled with his scars, and a report from another doctor, it could have made the doctor wary of giving him a clean bill of health. You also said months ago he had no doctor that treated him for his condition or a regular doctor that knew him well. You said there was no way he could get a doctor report. If that was true, then anything he took in from another GP was maybe not convincing.

This thread and your post are irresponsible given you have no facts.

Things have changed since your time at Knightsbridge.

It might help others if you could share details of the portion of the exam relating to,this.. Was it a series of questions, was it because of physical evidence? Did they send him away with any info if they were recommend g denial (they are not the ones who actually deny, they examine his eligibility medically)

Only for your fiancé apparently.

As I said in your other thread wait until you find out what's going on with Knightsbridge before you start worrying other UK filers with scaremongering thread titles.

P.S Arguing with Nich Nick about anything to do with the UK side of the process will not end well...

Doctors provide information, Consulates decide.

Sounds like there is no personal issues that have not been shared.

Nich-Nick read my thread I posted on this thread. I'm sure it will be quite the eye opener for you and might awaken you to how things work these days in Knightsbridge. To tell someone they will be ok with a doctors note is a complete lie; things have changed in Knightsbridge since then.

[Boiler 43,583]

Did you read any of the responses to your comments?

[christeen 966]

Ok. I have a better picture now, I have a friend's mom going for her medical there next month and she had a bad case of PPD and was institutionalized after an issues with one of her children when they were babies.... Anyway... Keep us posted for Friday, but I would not be saying that he is denied, from you other post, it was not determined yet, just that there was the possibility. There is also the possibility that they pass him or the possibility they want more documentation or a psyc exam? Lots of possibilities...

This is what me and my husband thought. This story is highly unusual and these two have been panicking about the medical since they sent off their I-129F package. He probably looked/acted incredibly nervous/shaky and it made them wary.

Also, I've been PMing her loads today telling her Knightsbridge cannot deny visas and the results are sent to the Embassy, but all I get is "Well apparently now they can".

This thread IS irresponsible as it will scare other people who have had depression and your story, corvus, is not the norm. I still think something is off with it and unless you were there, you don't know the ins and outs of what went down. My doctor told me loads of people go to Knightsbridge and have had depression before. They've not changed since my time at Knightsbridge. Only for your fiance it seems, as someone else pointed out.

Is your husband currently functional? You have described things in the last months that were a bit "out there"; inability to find a printer, a pen, etc. I have no idea if he will be approved or not, but no matter what, maybe some help would help him feel better... we all are worth it.

I just re-read this topic XD Wow.

Nich-Nick read my thread I posted on this thread. I'm sure it will be quite the eye opener for you and might awaken you to how things work these days in Knightsbridge.

Yeah Nich Nick, read her post, you clearly don't know how things in Knightsbridge work nowadays and you don't know anything 'cause you did all this years ago!

...... Said no one to Nich in the UK forum, ever. Nor would they dare. ;p

[corvusheart 163]

I think I have all right in doing this seeing as this apparently didn't happen before.

Whilst I don't wish to undermine your anxiety, I do agree with the other posters that the Knightsbridge clinic cannot deny your visa. I am pretty sure they would not want the liability of being responsible for that. I also wonder what is going to change between now and Friday if they haven't asked for any new information.

I had cancer but it was 17 years before my medical so ancient history in my mind but the clinic asked for a letter from my doctor. They then telephoned me because there was an (unrelated) issue with my x-Ray. They wanted me to go back to them for a scan but worked with me when I requested that I be permitted to have it done under the NHS, as I had plenty of time and wanted to save on costs. My point is that they were supportive and co-operated with me to get the best outcome.

I think it is possible that they told your fiancé that he would hear from them by Friday if there is an issue and he interpreted that as we will let you know by Friday what the issue is.

Try not to panic about something that hasn't yet happened.
