  1. Don’t forget to file FinCEN114 and 8938 if relevant.
  2. You could just purchase a sim while in the U.K. (EE O2 etc), a 30 day sim will give the data you want and a number, (which you wouldn’t really need). I just use WhatsApp and everyone uses that to contact me. It’s the good data package that you’d need though. You could turn off VM on your U.S. mobile number if you wanted while in the U.K., or you could add a modified OGM asking people to contact you via other means.
  3. Patient Access was an App already installed, but also there is a website too. Initially it showed very little until we asked GP Reception to grant FULL medical record access. After a week it was done and all consultations going back many years then showed up. Current and past medication and the all important summery record. There is also the NHS App, although in our case Patent Access worked. You can download and print the summery along with medications to include any major or on-going health issues. Some GP Surgeries can give you a hard time, but ultimately they have a legal duty to provide access, albeit in certain limited circumstances it can be denied. Once access is granted there is no expiration.
  4. Did you not need the IL at the medical, or just to make the appointment for the medical?
  5. Ask GP Reception to give you access to your records on Patient Access, you can then download and print at home. Saves a BIG headache with not then having to rely on others. You will see any Consultant notes and print along with SCR and medications. We were DQ’d and received IL within a few weeks, it’s super quick. A little too quick as it only gave about two weeks to arrange and attend medical prior to interview.
  6. They will want the IL at Visa Medicals. Early June is about right based on our timeline. Had to reschedule interview as the medical would have to have taken place in just a couple of weeks time to have made the interview as originally scheduled.
  7. We had the same dates, but are rescheduling. I did see a couple of appointments left for the 9th.
  8. Does the London Embassy conduct IR1 interviews on a daily basis or only on some days? Also, I see that many interviews are undertaken early in the morning; does anyone know if afternoon appointments are also available? Need to reschedule an interview and trying to align with train times. From what I see you first need to cancel the appointment and then select an alternative. Are you then presented with a list of days/times available after you’ve cancelled that original appointment? Thank you
  9. Just get Patient Access and then you can download and print your own record. Contacted the GP surgery about three months ago in anticipation of the eventual medical. It had taken them about a week to grant access and notify us. With access you are in control to view and print in your own home, otherwise you’re at the mercy of others.
  10. Congratulations -). When is it?
  11. After an astonishing period of just 6 days the IR1 visa has been DQ’d. There is a ‘Case FE Review note’ Im uncertain what it means though. I’d appreciate anyones thoughts on the below. My only guess is that evidence of the source of income was not uploaded, rather I uploaded bank statements with that income shown as a line item. I’m not relaying on assets to exceed the poverty level. My employment is foreign, this will end, but other income easily exceeds the poverty level. That income will continue Stateside. ‘The income reported as stated on form I-864, I-864A is insufficient to overcome the public charge grounds of inadmissibility for visa issuance. To avoid delays, an additional Affidavit of Support Form I-864 from a joint sponsor may be submitted. For more information visit https://nvc.state.gov/aos and https://www.uscis.gov/i-864p. A consular officer will decide if you meet these requirements at the time of the interview. Note: You, as the sponsor, and any other sponsors household members and joint sponsors, must provide updated or additional evidence for the applicant to present at the time of their interview such as: * Other income * Assets * Proof of current employment Note: You submitted documentation to the National Visa Center through the Consular Electronic Application Center CEAC. You can continue to upload documents to CEAC up until the date of your visa interview.’
  12. Did you download the SCR from Patient Access? Once you’ve asked GP reception they will give you access within a day or two. You’ll then have the ability to read, download, save and print consultation notes. Some past issues that are long gone do show as current. A sore throat from 10 years ago that is listing as current isn't obviously going to be a problem. Your mental health diagnosis letter will though. It would be prudent to print along with current status.
  13. That was fast! So far it’s been a 3 week wait for us. I factored in 30 days, as we’re not submitting until March anyhow. I did read that domestic DBS checks are taking up to 2 months!
  14. I’d upload and also present at the interview. Covered both options then. How long did it take to receive your police report?
  15. If you do decide to ‘Cash in’ your PB’s you could look at a Direct Saver with NS&I. You’re safe with deposits over £85,000 (unlike regular banks). If you have an existing ISA, then you can make no further deposits once you’ve left the U.K. (not a product I’d recommend under the circumstances). I’d be far more concerned with any stocks you retain when Stateside. There maybe PFIC and OEIC reporting. Also US SEC implications. You’d really need guidance from a U.K./U.S. tax expert on that. Good luck -)
