I had to state the date of my interview and take the appointment letter with me - it was on their list of requested items I recieved after booking the appointment. This was only a couple of weeks ago so recent. The medical is not needed before an interview is set in consular processing, but it is requested to have it at least 2 weeks before the interview date to ensure they can send it to the embassy in time. In my case IL received 29th June, I booked the medical on 29th June for 13th July, Interview is scheduled 8th August.

Good move. Interviews are scheduled quickly there. Mine is next Tuesday and I was DQ'd 15th June

Congratulations! Did you decide on switching to London embassy?

I am transferring with a large global company also. What I have from them is a letter of intent. I will not get a contract until they can verify my right to work which is after I have entered the US.

Unless you have a long work notice lead time like I did. I had to give 6 months notice so couldn't wait for visa approval 😞

Typically in UK interviews are ~2-3 months from DQ. Could be less. I was DQ'd 15th June, IL received 29th June, Interview is 8th August. @jons_wifey Visa medicals have alot of availability at the moment, so you should find it easy to book once you are DQ. If you are missing any vaccines, it may be worthwhile already getting them on NHS if you can. I had MMR and tetanus booster done.

Congratulations!

Congratulations!

Congratulations!

If you filed online it's quite a common glitch. We did as others suggested and added a letter to correct it in unsolicited evidence and was approved without RFE.

Exactly. Give it a couple of days and it will be there 🙂

Thanks!

Wooohoooo! Congratulations 🥰

Should I submit also? I have some documents that havea wonky label since DQ also, so would you recommend I re upload those with correct labels?

Hi all, I'm reviewing the checklist for my upcoming interview and there are a couple of original documents I need to take which were not requested to NVC (Petitioner proof of citizenship for example). In order to avoid a 221g, can I already upload and submit additional documents in advance? London embassy if that makes any difference. Thanks in advance

Mine was very similar - it listed active conditions, medications and treatments. Mine was also 3 sides of A4 long. This sounds right. Mine listed active conditions which aren't even active anymore and I discussed them with the Dr and it was fine.

Excellent!! Congratulations! Hope everything goes well for you in the move.

It seems I did have a blood test done and was immune luckily 🙂 How did your interview go?

I had my medical yesterday and I'm a bit confused - wondering if anyone else here can clarify: I told them I was pretty sure I'd had Chicken pox as a child. During the discussion with the vaccines nurse she said she wouldn't have been able to give me the variacella anyway since I had MMR this week already (before the medical I got it at my GP.) She said you can't have it within 4 weeks of having MMR. When I went to pay, there was an additional £40 charge for "variacella and what I think says "check", but the handwriting is bad. I can't find this on their fees list. Could it be they have charged me for a titer test? If so, and that comes back that I've not had chickenpox and I need variacella, I won't be able to get it by the date of the interview since I have to wait the period since the MMR. What would then happen at interview? Presumably nothing until they send my medical?

Thanks! And for the confirmation of the photo.

Thanks for the help here. One more question, I received an email from Vis medicals saying they no longer need passport photos. Has anyone been recently and can confirm this please? Thanks

Hi all, I have my appointment next week at Visa medicals in London. I have my patient summary care records which also details my vaccines (or lack of) but it's in my maiden name. Is there any issue with this? I can take proof of name change with me? Also, for those who travel in from outside of London, where did you park? I'm coming in from South Wales and wondered if it's best to park at a train station outside of London and train/tube in? Thanks

Hi, Did you order the correct one, for immigration purposes? Does it have your photo on it? Mine has previous names on it.

Sorry. DQ'd 15th June

@ZRomper IL received - 8th August. London
