    Well does he have all his immunization records? I would personally get them before the medical so they can sign you off on the day of the medical. Because they give you a sheet to say that you have all the required vaccinations on that day, which you use for your AOS. Because, he should be able to get it free on the NHS instead of actually paying for it at Knightsbridge? If he doesn't complete it on the day of the medical, lots of people have said previously on the forums that you then have to go to a state side doctor to get a check that you have all the shots and then have to pay for that and letter stating he has everything. 

    I personally put yes, because I knew I was pretty much up to date with all the shots, but it's up to you?

    You do get a letter in the mail, but you should have received an email with the same letter?

    Thank you! I'll let him know! I haven't received an email yet except for when they sent the visa to England and sent me an attachment saying that. I'll call and ask for the email version! Quick question what is MRV fee and is that the interview fee or do you just pay that 265 when you do the DS160

    Very very easy to schedule, you schedule it online? 

    Have you submitted your DS-160 now?

    If so, then just pay for and schedule the Interview here: https://ais.usvisa-info.com/en-gb/iv 

    You click on register and then select 'I have received a letter from the consular section with instructions to register or schedule a K visa appointment', and continue on from there!

    Does the letter come in the mail to schedule the interview? We haven't finished the DS160 bc we had a question about the shot records if he should check yes or no on the, do you have all required shots that are needed by the U.S regulations. I think he only needs a tetanus but he wants to make sure that's all he needs when he goes to the medical, he said he will then get them afterwards since for a k1 visa you dont need them till just before applying for a green card.

    It is advised to do the medical before the interview, and at the moment Knightsbridge are taking over 7 working days to get the results of the medical to the Embassy. You can go for the interview after the medical no problem. However, your visa will be on hold until they receive the results and it could add almost a month of waiting time. 

    I just had my medical last week, had my original interview scheduled for today, but as lots of people had mentioned their results had not been received by the Embassy after 5 working days, I changed it to next week. I'm glad I did as I called Knightsbridge today and the medical is still there, waiting to be sent. So, had I had gone today and passed the interview I'd be pending on the fact they were waiting for medical results. 

    Sometimes better to wait a few days, rather than rushing in and getting yourself out of sync with the chain of events, so you can get your Visa in hand quicker ;)!

    Thank you! Maybe I'll tell him to wait till Aug 1st for his interview just in case! Yeah I heard it was backed up lol. Is it pretty easy to schedule your interview? There isn't like a waiting list or anything?

    Book your medical and interview! Everything should come by email but you already have everything to book your medical and interview online :)

    Oh this is exciting! I was reading somewhere that you have to wait till after the medical to book the interview, I was like ummm that's not right. So do I need the letter from the embassy first before booking the interview? Pur medical is the 21st of this month!

    I think the time might vary. Mine was stuck in transit for 16 days (it just changed to ready this morning, yay!)

    but I'm hoping that's just because the embassy moved recently. His medical is on Monday and now we just need to figure out how to book the interview. As far as we know we have to wait on email to be sent with a confirmation number then he can book online. 

    Just in time for you medical! Yeah i think you wait for packet 3 from i was told but I could be wrong. But co grata on being Ready!

    I heard a lot of them are actually sent by electronic copies...

    But based what I have observed, in Singapore, usually it take 3-5 days and even 10 days..I just hope they can receive it soon.

    But since it's already 'in transit', it's no longer NVC's job right? The one who updates the status should be embassy I guess?

    That's a good question! Can anyone shed some light on that? Myfiance just scheduled his medical for July 21st which is exciting! But cant schedule his interview till it arrives and gets his packet 3
