Interview & Medical on same day

[Nicoxcx 1]

I was reading a post where someone had in there timeline that they had both there interview and medical on the same date, and it got me curious, what are the chances of that happening?

Having to travel from Scotland to England 2 times is a pain in the #######, but something I obviously have been saving for, but I am curious as to how many people have had both the medical & interview on the same day?.Or is it just Luck, Having to travel from one country to another , when you dont drive, is a pain in the butt! haha

It can be arranged. If your visa is approved, it will be delayed until the medical results are sent to the consulate.

My husband flew twice to London from NI in order to have his medical and interview. At least you have the option of taking less expensive land transport.

I had my medical and interview on the same day as Im from the North of England and couldnt afford 2 trips to London (let alone 2 days off work).

Anyway, what I did was wait until I got my packet 4 from the Embassy telling me my interview date and time. I then phoned up the doctors and asked for my medical to be on the same day. They were very accommodating and made sure that there was plenty of time between my interview and medical just incase I got held up at the embassy for some reason.

The person at the embassy also told me that this seems to be a new trend as 3 people who he had seen before me had arranged the exact same thing (and my interview was at 9.30 so there were probably even more throughout the entire day).

Just make sure you have a photocopy of your passport picture page. The embassy will stamp this as this is needed for the medical (they request your passport, but as the embassy will have it for your visa then they accepted a certified embassy stamped copy instead).
