I have recently been subscribed anti-depressants for 6 months and I am worried this will eventually effect my K1 Visa Application/Medical Exam. Do you think this would be the case? Can anyone help?

It shouldn't, you will need a letter from your GP when you go to the medical saying that you are not a threat to yourself or others. Lots of people with depression have been approved at Knightsbridge.

Thank you. I have just been prescribed them today and was reluctant to take them. I think I will try and get off them as soon as I can though so it will not cause future problems with my application.

it's a common case, just get the prescription and the medical report with you and everything will be ok

The thing I am worried about is the doctor asked me if I have had suicidal thoughts, I said yes but I have never acted on them. Will this be held against me? I have never even attempted suicide or anything similar and never will.
