Preparing for Interview IR-1

[Ahmed & Amy 291]

Hey everyone. A friend of mine recently received their interview appointment letter. She and her husband are having a difficult time with preparing for the interview. When she is on traveldocs to register for the courier, it has a section that is asking her to schedule an OFC appointment.. Is this required? Is this for the medical? She is confused as she has the appointment letter for the interview. This section of the website wont allow her to continue with registering for the courier.

 

Also, if this OFC appointment is not related to medical is she or her husband able to make an appoint for his medical online or does he need to call the listed hospitals and make an appointment that way?

 

And help and advice would be greatly appreciated. Good luck to all of you!

OFC is an advance appointment for taking biometrics which is done before the interview.

So they need to schedule this appointment prior to their interview?

A simple Google search

 

An OFC appointment is intended to simplify and speed up visa processing. During this appointment, your biometrics and visa photograph will be taken. It's a simple and straightforward process that occurs before your visa interview. Once you complete your OFC appointment, you will be able to attend your visa interview.

Yes I did google it and found the exact information you just posted... but I am not familiar with this as my husbands immigration was over 4 years ago. I am simply helping a friend whose immigration process has been fairly different than what I went through with my husband.

 

But thank you.
