Thanks, it sucks, but they said it was unusual, so that should definitely be enough time barring any issues!!

Have you contacted Knightsbridge to see what happened with your medical papers

No, since my interview was only today, after hearing that result I just wanted to get home, but I'll ring them tomorrow and see what they say.

Thanks, it was a bummer to hear, but I'm just glad that the only thing that went wrong was something I didn't really have control over!!(not counting booking the two further apart haha), so once they arrive it should be relatively straightforward.

I rang this morning and was informed that the embassy has received my medical today, so now it is just an issue of processing!! Fingers crossed it does not take much longer than it would have!!

It's no problem at all, I was the same before, I wanted to know every detail before going in!! Actually while I was pretty nervous the day before, on the morning of it I reached a sort of zen state, as I had triple checked that I had everything I needed, so anything else was up to fate. It was very chill and relaxed at Knightsbridge, all of the receptionists are very friendly and helpful, they answered all of my questions on the day. And, if you want, you can bring a chaperone with you for support, but they'll have to stay in the waiting room. First you give over your paperwork to a receptionist, and she'll then give you a second medical questionnaire to fill out and a cup to pee in (lol). After this, if you're like me you'll have a few waiting periods between talking to doctors: the first Dr checks over your vaccine records and signs them off/tells you if you're missing any(most in the UK are missing the chickenpox vaccine as it is not available), the second Dr does the chest xray (If you're wearing a light top you can keep that on for it, you just need to remove your bra) and the third Dr does the general examination, asks about any medication needed and checks your eyesight, ears, temp etc and takes a blood sample (hope you don't mind needles!). All were very friendly and polite. After this you wait around some more, then you'll be told if there were any issues (there weren't for me), and you'll be given a copy of the form sent to the embassy - it is VERY important that you keep a hold of this as you will need it for the AoS once you enter the US, but it is not required that you bring your copy to the interview as they (SHOULD ) have their own by then.

Took about 1 1/2 hrs overall, easy peasy, and it was such a relief to get it done, so as long as you have everything they ask for, you'll be fine

That's good to know 😀 I have my vaccinations up to date,medical summary from GP,  long version birth certificate, police report, affidavit of support forms, passport pictures, passport and driving licence ID, I think that's everything I need 🤔

That sounds like everything you need, as long as you have what Knightsbridge asked for in their email, you'll be golden, don't need to bring anything else. With the interview too, you only need what is listed on https://uk.usembassy.gov/visas/fiancee-2/required-documents/ as well as your MRV fee printout (and I would recommend bringing the letter they send you too, I didn't but I may have been lucky). As long as you have these done correctly, you shouldn't have anything to worry about (apart from sorting the wedding!! haha)

hello, 

 

I booked an interview for the k1 and the earliest date they have was for the 14th of september, I was hoping for an earlier date. Do you guys know if its worth it to go back on the embassy website and check everyday if there is earlier slots available or any other easier way ?

some people do cancel their interviews or reschedule them so it's always worth checking if you want to reschedule too.
