Booking Medical

[ML1 0]

Are you to book medical even if it doesn't say to on the letter of packet3... Or do you wait for embassy to advice you to?

You will need a medical.

If your case has been logged by the London embassy, then it is safe to book an appointment. We booked ours after DOS told us the embassy had logged our case - which ended up being about a week before he got packet three and all worked out fine

Btw - I believe there is a link in the letter of packet three. If you follow the link, it will give you directions of what needs to be done. I believe you will find the medical information there

Yes my fiancee has got packet3 and says about link to forms. But of I've been ready on forums some have waited till embassy has says for them to do so, and others just book before.

The embassy will only tell you to do so in packet three - they will not inform you again.

Here is the link to packet 3. In the third step, you will notice they tell you to get your medical:

"Please note: The visa interview will not be scheduled until the Immigrant Visa Unit is in receipt of the results of the medical examination. The failure to schedule the medical examination will result in delays to your application. Click on "The Medical" on the left-hand Navigation bar for further information."

If he has packet three then he can schedule. I would recommend calling soon, as they will not mark you "interview ready" until they receive these results.

The information the embassy send out isn't very useful (not as useful as VJ anyway!)

Attend your medical asap. They won't assign you an interview date (aka packet 4) until they've got your medical results, which will go straight from Knightsbridge to the embassy (in 3-5 days).
