Hello,

I had my London embassy interview the other day. 

One world of advice, the queues are HUGE, like hours long, so if you have an IMMIGRATION interview, you can skip to the front of the line, are advantage of this!

I took my brief notes with me. Dr had a couple of brief questions, and that was it.

Whole medical took less than an hour and was very informal.

Hi,

I have my final interview in London next week.

I have eye issues - multiple retinal detachments that left me with 5% vision in one eye - due to the many surgeries I have had, in my 'good' eye, I have a cataract.

I am going to nee surgery on that within the next 6-9 months. Because it is a high risk procedure (not for a normal person, but with my history, it is) I have a private specialist in London that will be performing the procedure.

Is there a way to get the expedited advanced parole due to this? And does anyone know if there is a way I can guarantee this? Book the surgery? note form surgeon etc?

Thank you

Hey All,

 

I have been waiting almost 4 weeks for my certificate now. When I called to ask for an update they told me there were delays. I explained that this delay is halting our visa process and they said they will try their best to get it posted in the next few days.

 

If I knew this would be he case I would have paid for the premium service.

 

Is anyone else having any delays with receiving their certificate? 

I just got mine in like 2 days. Id probably re apply if I was you?

Hi,

I finally have my medical booked in London. As part of this one if the items needed is "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. This is a new requirement and may not yet be added to the checklist online or the US EMBASSY LONDON website."

And

If you have any significant/ongoing/previous medical conditions (i.e depression/diabetes/hypertension etc) please ensure that you bring a reportfrom your GP/Specialist/Consultant regarding this; including, medication, prognosis, management etc. (this includes conditions such as depression, anxiety, diabetes and hypertension).

My question is this... how 'brief' does this need to be?

I got two documents from my GP yesterday, one is extremely brief... 'May 2021 - Anxiety/Depression' and the meds I had etc. And ones goes in to detail about what was discussed between myself and the GP (that's very personal info).

Is the first letter OK? The extremely brief one with just dates/reason? I am not on any medication right now, never been hospitalised with mental health etc, just struggled now and then, like many of us.

Thank you

yeah, my options are pretty grim...

thank you for your help

OK, thank you. 

So there are no 'Parent' visas and the best I can hope for is I see her 6 months a year?

Ha, sorry, confusing I guess! We saw each other recently... the time apart has made us grow apart to become just friends now. 

Hi, I am not sure where to post this sorry. 

My girlfriend in America has found out she is pregnant with our child. We were going to apply for a K1 visa, but after not seeing each other for 2 years due to the pandemic, we are not really together anymore.

What options do I have to enable me to see my daughter grow up?

Thank you

If we were to get married in the US, and I stayed in the US after getting married, can I apply for the I-130 and remain in the US?

Unfortunately pregnancy isn't a reason to expedite. 

 

But you are lucky to be able to visit while you wait out the process. 

Currently I-129Fs are taking 9-12 months at California. So you won't be reaching the next stage until June-August 2022. 

 

Looks like there is a mandamus for K1s at London though... so you might be looking at 2 years or longer before you can move to the US.

Have a look at NOA2 to interview for London here...

Could I do that with an ongoing K1 application?

So you are saying I could travel to America, marry her, then just file the I-130? Would I still be able to visit the UK whilst that is processing?

Have you broken up with your GF or are you looking for a quicker way to go to the US?

As a UK citizen you can visit with ESTA if you want to be there for the birth. 

Currently K1 visas filed in March 2021 are getting NOA2 so you have a couple more months of waiting ahead of you. 

 

we have not broken up, just looking to expedite, I don't want to have to return home after the birth

Hello, sorry I don't know where to post this. I am a UK citizen, my fiancé is a US citizen, we applied for a K1 visa in August, but have heard NOTHING. Since then she has become pregnant. Are there any visas I could get through my eventual child? I cannot find any info on a parent/paternity visa.

Thank you
