Patient Summary from GP

[M S Khan 4]

I'm new to the UK, less than three months to be precise. I'm currently on a visit visa and will soon be scheduling my medical examination for CR1 in London. One of the requirements is to bring a patient summary from your GP. However, since I don't have any GP in the UK, I'm unsure if I still need to produce this summary printout. Any thoughts?

Do you have any medical documentation from your home country? you might want to bring any prescriptions or history of procedures.  
But first steps, I would reach out to the medical center and ask for their guidance.

Previously you've said your wife is the beneficiary? So you don't need your summary care record at all, she just needs hers.

You are correct. The beneficiary is my wife. I was actually asking the question on her behalf. I am aware that, as a US citizen, I don’t need the records in UK,  but she does, and she doesn't have a general practitioner here.

OK, so if she's just visiting the UK, the it's not just the medical history that she won't be able to get, she also won't be able to get things like the UK police cert? Tbh I'm really surprised that London accepted her case if she's not resident there, they're usually super strict on that.

Yeah I was also surprised when NVC decided to send it to London upon our request. She got the police cert though…  It was online and very easy…

Which country is your wife from and what was your reason for the request? This information could be really helpful for others who might not have a consulate and are experiencing long waits…

She's from Tunisia. Since we've been spending time together in the UK, we requested to have our processing done in London. We provided them with a valid address and proof of her legal status in the UK as a visitor. In fact, we submitted that request to USCIS just as our petition was on the verge of approval. They updated her address to the UK address and sent the approved petition with the new address to NVC. NVC decided to do our processing in London. We are still waiting for interview though..

Quick update: I spoke with the Visa Medicals in London. They mentioned that having your current doctor from Tunisia provide a letter of her good health should suffice. As for the police certificate, you can obtain it online if you've spent more than 6 months in the UK. It's a straightforward process. Otherwise, it's not needed. If we get our interview scheduled, I will post here..
