Hey everyone-

My British wife finally got assigned an interview date in the London embassy, scheduled 17 days after our notification. Official guides we had been sent said to wait until the interview was scheduled before arranging a medical exam. Immediately after getting the interview date, she called the medical clinic and they said there weren't any appointment slots available until the day after the interview, which we grabbed. Now we know that she won't be able to get a formal visa approval at the interview  because technically the application documents are incomplete-

 

Does anyone have any advice on how to avoid/resolve this? They said there is a long waitlist for filling in cancelled slots so that doesn't seem to be a viable option. Any idea how long it would take the medical clinic to send records to embassy/get approval? Any way to expedite that process? 

 

Thanks!

I believe it takes up to a week for the embassy to receive the medical results. In fact, I just searched it....the United Kingdom medical exam takes 5 workdays to send. So, once they received it, I'm sure you'd get your approval soon after :)
