Missed K1 Visa Document Review

My fiancé mistakenly missed the document review that immediately followed his medical appointment.
Should he still attend his interview or does he need to reschedule? Has anyone else had experience with this?

Any and all insight would be much appreciated!

This is a really new thing so there may not be much personal experience of this specific to UK K1s, but the London site does state that if you attend your interview without being documentarily qualified, you will need to reschedule the interview. The purpose of this new document review is to establish if you need further documents before your interview.

 

But because the document review is just an open period of time, perhaps they can just go back to the embassy during that time, in advance of their interview?

 

Your best bet is to probably contact the embassy to ask, but they aren't the most prompt when it comes to responding to emails. 

 

Im curious to know how this new document review impacts medical appointments. The document review is only available 11.30am to 1pm, so do they now only schedule medicals before 12pm? Crazy!

This isn't something I'm familiar with as when I did the process and had my interview last August the documents were checked on the same day but looking online it seems that you need a new interview appointment scheduled if you didn't attend the document review.

 

You could contact the embassy but looking at your timeline it looks like the interview is today so he wouldn't get a response in time.

 

I am interested to know what the result of this situation was though. Keep us posted.

**UPDATE**

My fiancé went to the embassy today and they were super nice and helpful. He wasn’t sure if they’d let him in since he rescheduled his appointment for the next available (August 20th 😅). Since he had printed off his prior appointment confirmation, they let him in.

They did his document review while he was there and told him that they’d email him sooner dates and times for the interview since his new appointment was so far out. 

 

Super stressful, but so grateful that the people at the London embassy are so helpful.

Thank you for the update. Glad they were able to help your fiance with this
