Potential issue with K2

[jillian06 0]

Hi there,

 

Looking for advise if possible. A panel physician (seen at the medical prior to the interview) has given us some tough advise about my child's self harm being recent enough to put them under Class A for inadmissable (editing to note, they do not have a formal diagnosis of any mental health disorder as they are too young to meet criteria for diagnosis at this time according to the way things are handled in the UK). They have asked for more evidence as the medical notes, particularly psych are very patchy, due to their care under camhs being very recent and the person handling them being unreliable and ignoring our pleas for paperwork. The window between now and our interview is very short, perhaps too short to get the information we need. As you can imagine we are crushed, as we already have a plan in place for their care once we reach the united states. The level of care in the UK is well below par, particularly with teenagers, as it is very difficult to diagnose them, not to mention the waitlists being incredibly long, so their care if we remain in the UK is likely not to improve for a considerable amount of time. Owing to this, we already have a plan of action that we had intended to instigate the moment we're on U.S. soil, my fiancé is incredibly supportive with mental health for both of us. The physician did admit that they weren't completely sure how it would be dealt with as my child is obviously a K2 under my K1, but now I'm terrified that we're about to go to the interview and be denied.

 

My questions are as follows:

 

Should I reschedule out appointment in order to gather more evidence?    (It specifically says that our medical won't be forwarded to the Embassy until they get all the information anyway)

Are children on K2's that have something that puts them as inadmissible, treated differently to adults? Or is the whole thing rather universal?

Is it possible that I would still get approved, and if my child gets denied where do we stand? (I've tried to search this kind of thing happening and not really found much in the way of information)

 

If anyone has any feedback, however small, I would really appreciate it.

Well they will not issue a visa until you get the medical side is sorted out. But you can interview.

 

Children or Adults would not think why it would make a difference, and have not come across it making a difference.

 

For whatever the reason this seems to come up a lot in the UK forum, females self harming, mainly K1's I think. As far as I can remember they all got their visa's once the medical aspect had been resolved.

 

K1 and K2 are separate cases so they will be assessed individually.

Thanks for your feedback!

 

I don't suppose you can recall any of these cases/posts?

 

Kind regards.

Not in detail, but they would still be in the UK section.
