London are taking ages to process packet 3 forms, ours have been with them the past two weeks and we've not been waiting the longest. No interview date yet

Don't forget for MMR you need two shots, and they have to be done one month apart

They won't stop you passing the medical but you need the second one and proof of it for AOS

You need the age specific ones, there's a link to a list on the visa section of the US embassy website

I was there last week and they were scheduling nothing until the begining of June, and that was last Tuesday.

From the day I posted mine to recieving the certificate was 16 days, which is pretty much inline with the processing time

You don't need DS-230 part 2 for a K1 anyway

I believe I used a combination of N/A and None depending on the question

I think the Embassy have had my DS2001 for 11 days now. I've called DoS twice, and the last time I called he said no interview yet, but I eventually got out of him that there's a note to say they have my medical results (but no note to say they have my DS-2001 form)...

We're in a similar position

They've had our packet 3 forms for 8 days, and the medical stuff for about 2 and have logged the medical stuff today, but not the rest yet. But from what I've heard they might not do the other until after they recieve you medical details, but i think that only applies to K1's

I've had one dose of MMR and have been told for AOS I need to have had the second one by then

Got a call today that the x-ray is clear, thank whoever you believe for that

I swear this last few days has wiped a few years off my life with all the stress

It's been said before that the stuff you get told over the phone isn't very accurate. I think we'll all be hoping that is the case, it certainly is if you look at people getting processed on VJ currently

You're not the only person on VJ waiting, we've been told the NOA1 date also plays a factor

There's a problem with the x-ray, I've been back and had another one done. But I won't have the results until after the radiographer looks at it, but we should hear tomorrow.

Words can't describe what we've been through the past two days

You can't get an interview date until after you have the medical, so once you've got the police certificate and LND number get it booked

They don't need 'medical records' they need 'vaccination history'

My doctors gave me a little book like you'd give to a child when they have their pre-school jabs done, this was fine.

But yes, you need the police certificate for the medical, they'll ask if you have it yet when you ring up to book the medical.

Had my medical today, all went okay

I've got to have my MMR booster before I do AOS and get some sort of print out to prove I've got that

I'm not sure if my doctors actually do a proper print out, I know they weren't very fourth coming with evidence when I got my injections done before the medical.

However, has the price of the medical changed? I had to pay £210

Until it arrives at the NVC they don't care how long you've been waiting. It remains the USCIS's problem and they won't raise a service request we were told until it's been unaccounted for for three months. Ours was left laying around at CSC for a month, and it was pressure from our congressman that got it moving. If it's not at NVC its almost certainly because the service center haven't sent it yet

That was our experience anyway.

However, once it did finally make it to the NVC is was processed within 4 days and only took a couple of days to make it to the consulate

We actually wanted to live in England, and we were going to when they were forecasting a huge crash in the housing market. But that didn't happen. So it came down to two things

The UK has completely stupid house prices

Karen would have to finish her education in the UK, so we'd have to wait another five years

If thats true about the MMR thats one less thing to worry about.

As for the tetnus what I've had says Reraxis, Dip, Tct, IPV

So thats Tetnus, Diptheria and Polio

Which means I'm missing the one for whooping cough

Not really much i can do before the medical i guess.

I'll have a read through that other thread, thanks

I'd have thought hospitalisation is any treatment not in out patients, anything with an overnight stay. I had to answer yes to this question, even though this was two operations I had as a baby

I was hoping to get all my vaccinations signed off at the medical to make the AOS easier

My doctors can't do a proper vacination record, they've written down what I had today and stamped it, but thats as much as I have to take to the knightsbridge doctors.

Which I assume will be enough for the medical, but I guess for AOS I'll just have to get everything photocopied and bring it to America.

So what is a civil surgeon and how much are they going to ####### rape my wallet to sign stuff off from my records. My records again are a bit of a sorepoint as my childhood vacinations are entirely missing, and from them some stuff is on paper and other stuff on the computer so its a bit of an administrative mess

Got my medical coming up in a couple of weeks so went to my GP to get my injections up to do

I needed chickenpox, tetnus and MMR

As I've already had chickenpox i don't need that one, as far as I know they take your word for that, is this correct?

On the other two, tetnus is no problem, but for the MMR I need two injections, one today and another one can't be for at least a month

Is this going to be a problem for my medical? I can get the second one done after that, but obviously it won't be up to date in two weeks when I have my medical in London

Sometimes USCIS stall, our approved I-129F was at CSC for a month AFTER it was approved. NVC weren't interested as until it's recieved it's not their problem and CSC wouldn't raise a service request until it'd be over due for 90 days. Fortunately our congressman got on the case and it turned up. Once it finally got to NVC it was there about 4 days

It's best not to look at stuff like that, it gets really depressing

As a result of our congressman kicking #######, we have managed to find our petition. Still at CSC! It's now being sent to the NVC so hopefully we'll now see some progress

29 days doesn't sound like very much, but the trouble is we weren't prepared for it. We knew the NOA2 would take five months, it took slightly more than that so we're glad we weren't at VSC, although at the begining everyone wished it was the other way around. But from CSC to NVC was supposed to only take 3 weeks at the most, and most people were getting to the consulate within two weeks. But to have the NVC and USCIS both turn around and say they don't know where it is, and don't even care until it's three months, that's hard to deal with.

It comes down to the same thing.... not knowing is the hardest part
