London Embassy Interview Checklist

[Spangler Jounrey 2]

That's great to hear, thanks for the response!

Happy to say I attended the interview on Monday and was approved pending their receipt of my medical, which Knightsbridge told me will be with them by 1100 tomorrow! Thanks to everyone for their advice and help.

I also have another small query which I thought I would just add here to keep things tidy.

I have chosen to collect my visa from the nearest DX location and have two questions on this. One, do I require any ID to collect the package? I don't have a driving license, so my only form of photographic ID will be in the package I am trying to collect! Will this be an issue?

Two, I haven't received any tracking number to know when the package is ready to be collected at the DX location. Will this be sent to me when the visa is issued, or is there some other way to track the package?

Thanks as always.

You won't get tracking until the visa is issued and turned over to the courier, maybe two days after your status says "issued".  Expect some delay in getting approved because your medical was not there. They won't jump on it at 11:01 tomorrow by any stretch of the imagination.  Could be a week or two.

 

ID. Not sure how strict the depot is. The drivers aren't.

Spoke to DX this morning and they confirmed that a bank card will suffice

Why do you say a week or two? Virtually all the other references I can find say that five working days is more likely as a higher end of processing time at London?

I said it because I've been reading this London forum a very, very long time. Some take longer when you get out of their work flow to wait on the medical to make it up to the interviewer station.

Ah, I misread your post as a week or two until they actually start work on my application. Yeah, fully expect a week or two until I have it in my hand.

 

Ta for the info

Well that could happen too.
