Hi York - welcome to the "almost there" thread

this link: http://www.visamedicals.info/us.asp can help you to get info on the medical.

The medical is good for a year, so you can book it and get it now, The Docotrs will notify the Embassy direct of your results. Good Luck on your journey!

Hello all

Im wondering if anyone can tell me, on form DS-156, question 36: "Has anyone ever filed an Immigration Visa Petition on Your Behalf" what do i put? Im assuming it is yes and do i need to put anymore than my fiance's name?

Thanks

Check out the example forms section at the top of the page here. The example forms say check no. Actually, your fiance has petitioned for a NON-immigrant visa for you.

There is one glaring difference between London and the example forms on this site. The I134 for London, they want to see "DO INTEND" to make specific contributions checked - unlike the example form which is do not.

Sorry if i sounded grumpy! I am going to take your advice, you have the visa in hand, i dont!

So if he ticks the intend box what sort of thing do we need to write, how long does he have to give money to me for and if he puts it is for room/board and living expenses while i am unable to work is that ok?

I am the USC, and for my fiance (also "visa in hand"), I wrote, "Any funds necessary for the duration of his stay".

It will be fine.

gah.. i did what the example form said to do... it's already sent! i'll be ok, won't i??

I originally sent what the example on VJ said to do and then changed it and re-sent it to my fiance. I asked some VJ members that all told me that I needed to change it, so I did. There are posts where people went to the interview with that not marked and were asked to fix it and send it back to have the visa issued. There may be others that have filled the form out the other way and may have been just fine. I just don't want to take any chances...

hello, on the link u gave me on the tab saying what to bring to the medical in the list it mentions a "Appointment letter from the United States Embassy" . what is that cause i dont think i have it?

[gmjdmj 2]

My fiance booked the medical, attended the medical and the results are already back at the Embassy and he did not have an "appointment letter" You don't have to worry about having that.

For me it would be worth the $0.98 stamp to send a single sheet of paper with the form filled out the way London likes to see it.

I had my medical 1 week before my appointment letter came through... They were very happy about that at the embassy

How come they were really happy about that?

New topic about medical. They want you to have the medical at least 1 week beforehand. I assume that is what they were referring to....

Hello I'm an old timer who posted often in this UK section and have been through the whole thing now. Relax you guys that are so nervous. Mail in those forms as soon as you know they have recorded your file arrival. You don't have to wait on a letter of instruction because you know the instructions already from your friends at VJ. Waiting on a letter is for people who are clueless what to do next. You are miles ahead of that.

What to take to London:

They really, really, really don't care for any proof of your relationship.

They have told you what to bring. It's on the checklist.

• Passports--The UK citizen only (and any UK children going to the US)
• Birth Certificates--The UK citizen only (and any UK children going to the US) LONG form showing parent's names.
• Adoption Certificates--if the UK citizen was adopted
• Military records--if the UK citizen served in the military
• Court & Prison Records--if the UK citizen has any sort of arrest, crime, etc so you can show how it was handled, dismissed, whatever.
• Photographs--TWO US sized passport photos
• Evidence of Support--I 134 from USC with proofs of income like Tax return+W2 form, 3 months pay stubs, employer letter, bank statements. Just pick one or two things besides the tax return. Make sure the photocopy of the tax return has been signed by the USC.
• Marriage Certificates--of UK citizen if ever married before
• Divorce Certificates--of UK citizen if ever divorced
• Notarized Statement--from the other parent giving permission if the UK citizen is taking a child out of the UK.
• Deed Poll--to show any name changes the UK citizen may have intiated (not a change because of marriage)
• Police certificates --from UK or any other country where intending immigrant has lived
• (and translations of any documents if not in English)

Take a photocopy of any document you want back like your birth certificate. They will look at your originals and file the photocopy you provide. If you want your pay stubs or employer letter back for use with AOS, then provide London with a photocopy to keep in the file. If it's something you don't need back, then you don't need to have a photocopy. Just a thought, but having the actual police certificate in the US could come in handy if maybe an employer wanted to do a required background check. There wouldn't be much record of you in the US, so offering a clean police record from your native land might be a nice touch. We kept the original and gave a photocopy for the file.

Most people take extra copies of the DS forms that were mailed, just in case they say they misplaced one of those, but that rarely happens.

Gathering all those skype logs, scrapbooks, emails may do well for the Filapinas or Nigerians where relationships are scrutinized, but London figures if USCIS approved the petition, the relationship was proved with that. The Embassy is under DOS, not USCIS, and their job is mostly making sure you are not a criminal, have somebody who can support you, and that you have no prohibited diseases or mental illness (as reported by Knightsbridge).

Relax and spend your energy making sure the DS forms are spot on perfect and you have a good proof of the financials shown on the I-134.

Hi, Tony and I are a bit confused. We read the instructions for I-134 and is it only self employed that have to have tax returns? We have almost every other form of financial support. Do we need tax returns aswell???

thanks

Amanda

I'm feeling pretty frustrated with the London part of the process right now. They have now started the policy of needing you to get the medical done a week before the interview. Since my fiance lives in Edinburgh, this is NOT an easy thing to do. It means TWO trips to London...

*grumble grumble grumble*

I don't see why they only allow ONE company to do the medical, nor do I understand why only the London embassy can process these visas when there is an embassy located in Edinburgh. It's not as though the London embassy does things quickly either.

Sorry for the rant, it's just seeming like such a pain in the ####.

On another note, anyone that had their P3 sent out on Modnay receive it yet?
