August 19th - rang NVC, got LND case number and told our file is 'about to go to London'

August 20th - booked medical at Knightsbridge for September 16th, 10:10am. Feels good.

September 1st - rearranged medical for October 5th, 13:30, because reasons.

September 4th - packet 3 received.

October 5th - medical completed at Knightsbridge. X-ray technician suggested playing Barry White during the procedure.

November 12th - visa interview. Nailed it!

November 20th - collected visa package from DX Southampton

Syphilis and if you know you're vaccinated against a disease but don't have the vaccination record to prove it, they can test your immunity against the disease. Think syphilis needs to be done by the specific clinic but the immunity tests you can do at your local doctor's office.

Blood tests or immunizations? You have to do blood work at the medical. Immunizations you can do anytime as long as you can provide proof.
