UK embassy block bookings

[mflip 17]

Had my medical today, it was after my interview because I couldn’t get an appointment. 
 

I spoke to the lady working the reception and explained how everyone at the embassy along with me didn’t have their medicals yet. 
 

She sort of sighed and say yes, people are finding it really difficult to get medical appointments prior to the interview, which is causing them to be extremely busy. (She seemed stressed but was very lovely) 

 

She said the reason was because the embassy is doing things in blocks, sending out interview letters and notifications in big blocks. So seems like they get a massive influx of appointments needed at the one time, which probably can’t help! 
 

A of bunch of folk there today had already done their interview too. 
 

thought it was an interesting note from the day and might answer some questions of folk waiting for their date after seeing so many get there’s, with only a day or two difference in DQ. 
 

Ps- staff were all lovely but I was there a good 3-4 hours mostly waiting, so keep that in mind!
