People between NOA2 and Interview ~2009~

Dose the embassy choose your intervew appointment for you or do u get to choose your self?

[gmjdmj 2]

The Embassy assigns your interview date. The way to find out when it has been assigned, your fiance can find out by calling the DOS.They will try to assign your date based on the dates of travel that you listed on the checklist when you mailed it into them.

ok it says right on the checklist! LOL

"If more than 4 months has passed since the petition was approved, you will be required to furnish a notarized statement of your intent to marry within 90 days of your arrival in the U.S."

... now we just have to figure out if they want one from both of us! sounds like they do

If ypur pertition has expired (or will expire before your interview) then both you and your fiance(e) have to have signed a statement of intent to marry and have it notorized and the beneficiary will take both of these to the interview with him/her.

ok thanks Lesley! looks like we will probably miss the 4-month deadline *sigh*

Ok, might be a really silly question and im sure i know the answer but this process makes you doubt yourself!

Question 1 on the Medical Questionnaire - Have you ever been hospitalised?

Now, i have gone into hospital for a couple of operations but i am assuming this is not what they are referring to and they are more likely to be referring to eating disorder, mental health, drugs, drink etc etc.

Please can someone clarify so i can stop doubting myself!!

Thanks

I was told to fill in the question on anything i have ever been to hospital for, i had 2 operations when i was about 7/8 years old, they will have all your medical files anyway, so better to put it down. If you dont put it down and they see it, it might mean you have to send in paperwork etc which could make the process a bit longer.

Thanks ill answer yes then. Just wondering, how do they have all my medical files if i have not given them to the doctors? I thought they only had vaccination records?

Again, i was told to take all my medical records with me. I would rather have more than i need and be safe, than take less than needed and it take longer. Im at the stage where i am waiting for my packet 3 to arrive from London, its been nearly 3 weeks now, have just called them and they said it hasn't been processed yet, but looking at everyone else's time line they are getting their P3 a lot quicker.

You know you can start filling out the forms for packet 3 already even before you get everything? My packet 3 took a good 3 weeks to get to me, London seem to be slow at booking in!

I dont think i will take my medical history.....i have my vaccination list which is what they ask for and im happy to give info if needed. I am not in a major rush so would have time to get any extra info they need as i am wanting my interview to be end Jan / beginning of Feb.

Let me know if you want the link that is sent out with Packet 3 so you can get started on the paper work (although i know it is on this thread) and if you can, fill out your timeline so people can see where you are with your journey.

also on the check list it mentions a notarized statment. what is that? Is it the letter of intent from my fiance and dose it have to really be notarized?

The notarized statement is for a parent taking a child out of the UK. Sole custody has to be established by the immigrant parent OR a statement must be written by the other parent stating that he/she gives permission for the child to move from the UK. It must be notarized or otherwise "officialized" by a solicitor. (I made up that word officialized but you probably understand what I mean.)

And a few comments from recent posts about medicals. You don't take all your medical records to the visa medical exam. You can take your immunization records. If you have any condition that might need further explanation to the Knightsbridge doctor, then you should take a letter written by you personal physician or the doctor that treats/treated you for that. Examples of conditions that might need further information....high blood pressure, depression, diabetes, heart disease, cancer. If you are currently on medications or treatments, then your doctor needs to explain your condition, when it was diagnosed, what medications your regularly take, if it's under control with meds. If it no longer exists and you dont take ongoing care or meds, then he needs to explain what, how long, how treated and that it is no longer a condition you have or he expects you to have in the future. But you don't take all your medical records. You just take a recent signed explanation from your doctor detailing the condition. If you read the medical checklist--anything that you have to answer "yes" to, might need further explanation from your doctor.

So is it correct that you tick yes to question 1 on the medical form - Have you ever been hospitalised? Even if it was just for an operation?

Thanks

I take it literally. Have you been hospitalized? Yes, I had my appendix out. Yes, I threw up so much I got dehydrated. Yes, when my children were born. I don't think those kinds of things need your doctor's written report. The doc at Knights bridge will ask "why were you hospitalized"? You'll say to get my appendix removed and he'll deem that as no problemo. If your answer would be "I slit my wrists because I wanted to bleed to death", then that might need a medical professionals detailed explanation. Does that make sense?

[yorkshirerose22 4]

I only took my Vaccination records, questionnaire. The questioned i answered yes to i jus explained on a sperate peice of paper. I have been in hospital for 2 eye ops n and a ear op soo i jus put that and how long i was in hospital for. the doctor only asked me if i was registered as blind becoz i have a lazy eye and parshly blind in one eye. wich i said no too.

Just talked with Sara in the Visa DOS whatever place, she said her systems are down, but if they logged that I was eligible for an appointment last week, then I will probably be given an appointment date in the beginning of December. She said they only give appointment dates at the beginning of every month... which sortof coincides with how we seem to see spurts of appointment dates all coming in at once. But she did say it was doubtful that I would get an appointment before Christmas..
