Can you submit DS-160 and Notification of Application Readiness form before attending the medical? I have booked the medical for 26th November 2014. Cheers.

Yes, the readiness form asks your medical date and you have one so you are good to go as long as you actually have all your documents needed for interview including affidavit of support.

Since London just received your case today and you haven't even gotten the letter from them, why don't you back off a week so they get your file set up. Sending now won't speed up your interview because your medical results won't get to the embassy until approximately Dec 1.

Have you gotten your shots and shot record from your GP.

Hey. Im actually in USA at the moment but I will scedule my shots before my medical which is on the 26th November. I have my shot records from when I was a kid but I will still get my shots done.

Matt got his shots at the medical. The poor guy got sick within a few hours (just in time for a godawful train ride home). Hopefully you don't have the same luck...

You might want to call to see when you can get in. Some have found they had a couple of weeks wait. You don't really need to see the doctor if you can get an appointment with the shot nurse. Maybe check on that now so hopefully you will get free shots.

I am a little worried that my fiancé won't get in for his medical for ages since everyone everywhere is backed up some way or another. Can he schedule his medical now although embassy does not have his files yet? should we wait until embassy confirms receipt of file?

[ilovethebeach310 8]

@E-N We booked the medical as soon as we found out the case number. We didn't wait.

They usually aren't very backed up. Go ahead and book it, but not for Monday. Give your case time to get to the embassy. Maybe an appointment a week from now at the very earliest. You do have your police certificate? Shots sorted? Need those done first.

he has his police certificate and shot record. If there are shots he may be missing which I doubt he can get them at his medical.

They will tell him at his medical the shots he needs for AOS. He is not required to get any shots now as it's not a requirement for a K1 visa.

Any shots he needs can be done at a later date. However, it would look better to have them done now (and easier) vs waiting until he arrives in the states.

If he is missing any, Knightsbridge will give him a paper showing what he is missing. Most shots can be done at your GP office. Make sure the GP signs off on the paperwork that Knightsbridge gives him.

It is not a case of it "looking better" to anybody to have your shots done before Knightsbridge. You will have to go to another doctor appointment in the US to get signed off on anything that comes after. The closest approved Civil Surgeon could be an hour or three away. The majority of them insist you need the full medical done over. That includes a TB skin test that you have to return a few days later to be read. The cost could be $250. They can charge anything they choose. If you get signed off at Knightsbridge, you are done.

......If there are shots he may be missing which I doubt .....

I feel very sure that he has shots missing. Flu shot for one, unless he randomly decided to go get a flu shot last month.
