US Immigration from United Kingdom

Hi, I received instructions from the London embassy to print off a 'courier-in' receipt to send additional documents via DX courier services free of charge.

On the USVisa website, the nearest location to me is over an hour away.

Do people usually have to go in-person to their nearest DX location to drop it off or is there another easier way?

Hi, so there is some complication about my birth certificate and my name.

I am interviewing in London in a few days and have a Pakistani birth certificate.

My birth certificate had a minor spelling error (think a to e) in my surname, whereas I ve been using the correct passport spelling of my name all my life.

During the NVC stage, my birth certificate was initially rejected on the basis that it was an older , type-writer version that is no longer used today. Because that was all I had at the time, I was told to just resubmit with some comments stating this and I got a deedpoll to support the name change just in case which got it approved.

However, after I was close to being DQ d, I infact was able to get a hold of the new , digitalized birth certificate which had my correct spelling all along. So I guess my name wasn t spelled incorrectly on the system after all, I just didn t know.

My question is should I bring the new birth certificate with me to the interview or just take the older one only since it did eventually get accepted at the NVC.

& if so, should I upload it CEAC beforehand or wait to see if they ask me to at the interview since I know I am not getting approved straightaway (medical is after interview) so will have to wait for the approval anyways.

Does anyone know how long the current wait between DQ and the interview date is, or which month they are currently working on?

My husband got his GP Summary today, He has a Depressive Episode in 2015 listed under Active Major Problem (along with things such as a broken arm in 2020 lol so obviously things aren't all actually ongoing but they are all listed as ongoing). There are no further notes on it, but what it was was that his uncle committed suicide and his grandma died and the GP Prescribed him citalopram (which he stopped taking on his own in 2018). Is a depressive episode resulting from grief the same thing as depression/does he need to try and get some kind of report on it? His medical is in two weeks I'm a bit concerned if he could get it on time if he does need something.

Hi everyone,

I have been given my IR1 Visa Interview appointment date, however the earliest medical examination appointment I could schedule wasn't until after my interview. I've tried to contact the Embassy to reschedule my interview, but I have been told that I cannot do this until I have missed my originally scheduled appointment.

Could someone please tell me if this is really the case? What is the likelihood I will be put to the back of the line in terms of rescheduling a new appointment?

Appreciate any input!
