Julie&Ed

Frustrated w/ Knightsbridge - Medical (London)   Must admit, Knightsbridge has to be the MOST frustrating and stressfull part of our entire K-1 process to date!  We have been very precised with dotting our "i's" and crossing our "t's".  Every bit of information provided by the US Embassy overview and steps, the medical PDF file in details of who what when and where, etc. have all stated the exact same details of "what to bring".   We completed our DS-160, scheduled the medical, paid the visa fees & carrier service, and schedule the interview to be 2 weeks from the medical - HURRAY!  It's almost over.... NOT!!!! We received a confirmation email from Knightsbridge with a list of "What to bring to your medical" and there are 3 - 4 items listed that are NOT listed any where in any of the documents we received from the Embassy, neither of their websites, NOR the link provided in the Knightsbridge email.   Slamming into Brick Walls here: 6.  A Letter/Email from the embassy/NVC to confirm your case number and visa category - Never have we received anything from the NVC - They received our K1 03/20/2017, forwarded to Embassy 03/23/2017, Embassy received 03/27/2017 - Called NVC requesting a document with our details and case # on it.   They informed me that NVC does not process K1's but they would put in a request to send me a document w/ NO ETA on how long before its mailed. - Called Knightsbridge they state its mandatory and I can't do the medical without it and to call the Embassy
- Called the Embassy, the switchboard operator states:  They do not take calls and to submit an online inquiry, turn around reply time is 5 - 10 business days - REPLY time?!
His medical exam is scheduled for 04/28/2017   7.  Summary of medical history from GP (NOT full medical records) and reports covering any medical conditions, disabilities, and prior serious illnesses you have been treated for or anything ongoing.  You may ask your GP for a “Patient Summary”, or access this yourself under “Patient Access”. - The GP is unbelievable - It takes a week between asking anything to get a reply.  We have been working on getting them to print out his vaccination records now for over a month.  We rang them up today requesting a "Patient Summary" and they state we have to submit it in writing and it will take 2 weeks.  2 WEEKS .... seriously? It's not his entire medical history we informed them of this, its just a 1 page summary.
- I rang Knightsbridge back and got the same thing it's mandatory, the exam results will not be sent to the Embassy without it.  She also stated it should only take them 24 - 48 hours to generate the "Patient Summary".
- Called GP back, submit in writing and wait 2 weeks Seriously - Why!?!  Why are these documents being requested when they aren't even on the list from the Embassy and surely WE canNOT be the only ones going through this.   I'm about to pull my hair out.... Does anyone have any suggestions?! PLEASE - other than reschedule both the medical and interview   Thanks for your time and help   Knightsbridge email document requirements:

Hello everyone! Been a long time lurker in the forums! Thank you to @Naes for all her help with daily scans. Kept us sane!
 
I just checked the new website and saw we were approved!! Most likely a backdated approval. 
 
NOA1 9/28
NOA2 3/28

Someone from the October  2017 filers just got approved today, received their N02 and it was not even expedite request. Read the message he posted:
 
 What is the basis for this? 

USCIS is the reason I drink, and the reason I'm prematurely going gray.

Hello!
 
My name is Julie and I'm from NJ, USA and Ed is from England, UK. We are joining you a little later in month of September filers! I just sent our I-129F packet out today, 9-29-2017, using express mail. Yay! I feel such a sense of relief but also fear in hoping I did everything correctly! So many emotions!! haha
 
Not looking forward to this waiting process, but knowing there is a group of people going through it with us is comforting. Good luck to everyone!
 
-Julie
