US Immigration from United Kingdom

Hi all. As the topic said, we are wondering if I need to go to my K1 interview in London with originals of petitioner s documents or the scanned sent to me will be good enough? Especially divorce certificate (and also affidavit of support, tax returns).
If scanned copies are okay, do they need to be signed by petitioner?

Answers and suggestions will be appreciated. Thanks.

Hoping to get advice...

My GP is dragging their heels in sending me a copy of my Summary Care Record, required for my K1 medical. I have been chasing, making calls, emails and in person but am told due to it being a clerical request it is not urgent. They won't even tell me how long it may take them. Really frustrated as every other time I've asked for documents, it's been a same day turnaround.

I contacted Visa Medicals to explain my situation and ask what would happen if I don't recieve my SCR in time. This was the response:

Is this true? Will London refuse to see me if they don't have my medical results? I have read many accounts of people experiencing delays for all manner of reasons in the Embassy getting their medical docs and they did interview, but we're temporarily refused under 221g pending the results. Surely there's scope for me to attend medical and they need further info on something, which would cause a delay in them sending things on to the Embassy. I've even read an account of medical not being sent until a day AFTER the interview. But here they are telling me the Embassy WILL refuse to see me.

My medical is scheduled for 19th Nov and my interview is scheduled for 26th Nov. I couldn't get a sooner medical date when booking in early Nov, and scheduled my interview back in mid Oct.

I don't know who to believe. VJers who have written about similar situations, or Visa Medicals. Why would they tell me this if this isn't the case?

Hi all,

As I draw closer to my medical and interview, my anxiety is kicking in.

As the beneficiary, I'm contesting a previous arrest and caution (for shop lifting, first and only offence at age 14, I am 34 now) as well as a history of mental health difficulties (depression, anxiety and SH but have not SHd since 2011ish, have not sought support for depression since 2019 and have not mentioned anything to my doctor relating to suicidal thoughts since 2021).

Im starting to worry that all of this will be held against me, and I want to do everything I can to show that I am not the same person who made these previous mistakes and had those difficulties. I have come a long way in terms of my own self development over the years and really do not want these past instances to be black marks resulting in a denial.

I have a character reference from my manager, expressing what a valued employee I am and how it's a pleasure to work with me. I also plan on taking a copy of my CV to demonstrate my education and employment progression over the years, as well my my original degree certificates as well as other education I have completed.

Do you think this is too much? Am I getting ahead of myself? I have read a lot here about criminal records and mental health difficulties and it's really a mix of "you're in big trouble" and "you'll be fine". I don't know what to think...

Hiya,

We're getting incredibly close to the final hurdles now with my medical and interview scheduled this month.

I've opted in for premium delivery of my passport to have it sent back to my home address, but I am wondering if anyone can tell me if it will need to be signed for? I would guess so due to the nature of the contents.

My issue is, is that due to employment I'm just not at home during typical delivery hours, so now I'm worried about missing delivery and what may happen. If delivery is missed, do they have an option to pick it up from a local Post Office?

I'm wondering if it would be better to change the address to the reception at where I work.

Thank you!

Guessing the email I just received is a scam and can be ignored? Definitely doesn t look like a legitimate government address:
