    Update.
    I flew from Heathrow to Chicago on United airlines on Friday 20th.
    At check-in there are US immigration or CBP agents checking documents. I provided the Visa (printed in my passport), my marriage certificate and a photo copy of my wife's  US passport.  They were happy with that and it didn't take very long.
     
    The airport was quite and the flight was almost empty, maybe 20-30 people on a  787!, the nearest person to me was 4 rows in front.
     
    At customs in Chicago there was no queue. I was told to skip the automated machines and go straight to booth were the Customs and Border Patrol agents sits. I handed over the passport with the visa in. it. He checked a few things on his computer for a couple of mins, then asked me to sit in a waiting room. I had only been sat down for about 2 mins when another agent came out and gave my my passport back and told my I was free to go.  The whole process took less than 10 mins.  No one took the  CD I had been given with my  visa.
     
    I hope you all have a similarly straight forward experience.

    Wow! I considered doing that but ended up booking it as soon as the interview was scheduled, so about 6 weeks in advance, but I left an 8 day gap after my interview. I wanted to get the cheap tickets as soon as I could! 
     
    Good luck with it all! Can you let us know what your experience is like flying out during lockdown but this side of the pond and the other?

    Hi 
    My interview is on the 16th of Nov and my medical is the 8th.
    I just spoke with the medical clinic and they told me they have had word from the Embassy that they are staying open and continuing with interview as 'normal'!
     
    There was a meeting yesterday (Monday Nov 2nd) and they decided to stay open. 
    Obviously this could change but I thought you guys would like to know. 
    I was extremely happy to find this out.

    I'd love to hear how you (or anyone else) get on at the airport if you fly out after the new travel restrictions come in this week. 
    Is emigration one of the exceptions ? None of the new rules seem to be published anywhere.
     
    Thanks

    You can fly out. No change. Travel restrictions are for UK citizens going on holiday and returning.
