So I called Knightsbridge this morning to see if they had sent my results to the embassy. As I figured, they sent them off on Tuesday as it was Bank Holiday on Monday & they said it's now too late to amend them She said it's not impossible but requesting my form back from the embassy is very time consuming & will slow down my entire application process. For those of you that haven't read my story in the other thread, I was required to retake tetanus again to meet US requirements but they told me to just go back to my own GP & that it would be absolutely fine. I took their word for it & now my form says my immunisation records are incomplete Obviously this form is now useless to me for AOS & I will have to find a civil surgeon in the US & pay to have him sign off a new form for me.
I told the receptionist at Knightsbridge that I would have just paid to have the tetanus done there if I'd known my NHS records would be disregarded in the US. She said they had no idea about this (I'm sure I am not the first person that this has happened to who phoned up to complain!) she wanted to get me off the phone as soon as possible & didn't want to take any responsibility for giving misleading information. Shocking how much nicer they are when you're handing over £227....she said she would verify what I had said with her manager & would call me back. I got the impression I wouldn't be receiving a call at all but thankfully she phoned back a while ago & said the only other thing I could do was take my immunisation records to my interview & explain what happened to see if they would accept them. I don't think this is an issue for the officer at my interview to be dealing with is it? Because issuing the K1 doesn't depend on my immunisation history, it's purely for AOS? Help & advice please...

Approved at window 15 by a lovely American guy! Sorry for the late reply & thanks to everyone for the good luck wishes & support throughout this whole process...I have no had time to post on here yet as I spent a few extra days with friends & family saying goodbye. Hoping to leave the first week of next month
Kelly also got approved & we had our interviews at the same time at windows next to each other! It was great to share this experience with another VJer in reality. I think we were both so nervous & so thankful we had each other to chat to during our wait time. Hugged, paid, went for coffee to celebrate & rang our guys to wake them up & tell them good news

Congrats Stu! Wow a 10 week wait, better late than never though! Good luck with everything. Have my interview on Wednesday & praying I don't get your lady!

Holly, I had mine on Wednesday. You described your experience just as mine was! I was also annoyed about the soap lol. I think you had a more pleasant Dr though, mine was European & a bit frosty but whatever. The only thing was that when I saw the vaccination lady last, she said although I had had tetanus & was fine for UK standards, I'd need to have it again to qualify for AOS in the US. She was really nice & said not to pay extra & have it done by them, but to just go back to my GP. I told her I was awaiting the MMR booster so she told me to get the tetanus then too.
All in all, I found it quite intrusive but it's done now. They said if they hadn't called me by yesterday then everything was in order & the embassy would have my results on Monday.
