FYI for Scheduling Medical and Interview together in London

[Trompe le Monde 1,107]

Since a lot of people have asked if it's possible to schedule the interview and medical together in London so they can take care of it in one trip I thought I'd share my experience:

1. We did this by initially scheduling the medical when we thought we might get the interview based on the timelines -- since the medical appointment we scheduled was early by about 2 weeks, we called and rescheduled to the day before the interview when we finally got the date. This didn't prove to be a problem, but there was only one slot available, so you might not get so lucky.

2. Allow more than week for your passport to be returned (it normally takes 2 days or less)-- we received his passport back exactly 8 working days after the interview. Since that was only 2 working days before he is due to leave, it made up nervous! I'd plan on 2 weeks, just to be safe.

Hopefully that will be useful to someone -- now that's one less worry on my mind and I jsut have to book a hotel room in Vegas and a chapel! (I have quite nerdily filled out all the AOS paperwork already -- actually I did it about a month ago)

It was just because the medical was so close to the interview -- don't think it should be an issue for you or do you have to have another one?
