Hello,

When i had my medical i was told i needed the MMR and HPV, seems i now dont need the HPV but i do need the MMR.

I am going to go to my doctor for the MMR jab cause i can get it free on the NHS. I know i will have to prove iv had the jab done for when i change my status in america so i was wondering what i had to get?? like dose my doctor have to wright a letter or print out of my vacination record again with that jab info on it??

When you have the injection, you need to have the MMR and a recent upto date tetanus injection. when you see your doctor, tell him/her that you are having these injections for immigration purposes and need evidence. They will fill out either a little book or a letter that will include the date, the batch number etc. You need to take this information to your medical in london otherwise your file wont be passed to the embassy.

Just got off the phone with DOS, who pretty much made us both panic because the lady said that im still not eligible for the interview - which could be because not all the forms have been sent in!? Ive sent both the packet 3 and had the medical in december.

Anyway phoned the embassy and he told me that both the medical and packet 3 has been received (even told us that its noted on the system for a july/august wedding) but that their system is limited and not to panic as they're only just processing it now, and that an appointment letter will probably be sent between middle/end of march. Longer than I thought, oh well

I have had my medical and i have had a recent tetanus, all i need is the MMR. iv already been approved and iv recieved my visa.

I have a question....Once the packet 3 has been logged why would you NOT be eligable for an interview at that point? When I called they said the paperwork was just entered yesterday so I guess I'm just wondering does that make us eligable for an interview now or are we just in limbo?

When my fiance rang he said they told him the eligable date.

[jkminney 30]

Here's what I dont get....if they've logged your packet 3 and they are processing it now...why in the world would it take till the mid to end of march to receive a notice? I just wish I could figure out the method to the madness because I REALLY don't get it

Yep, but who knows. I kind of got the feeling the guy had pretty much diddly squat on the status of our case even with our case number, makes you wonder if you can even talk to someone who has your case in their hand.. seems not!

Also as you said, im not sure why we're not eligible considering we've sent in all the stuff needed and they've obviously looked at it at some point for them to write the note about our hopefull wedding date. Said they would contact us though if they're missing anything, which is some comfort I suppose.. no news is good news? ... gah I hate this waiting!!!

Amen to that! After I read your post I called DOS back. I got the same lady. I'm sure she thought why is this crazy lady calling AGAIN! She said they logged packet 3 on the 11th. So I asked her does that mean we are eligable for an interview now? She said yes. But really that makes NO sense. Yours was logged back in January and they are telling you that they are processing your papework just now? If they are processing your paperwork now why in the hell would it take till Mid-End of March for you to receive an interview letter? I mean it's like they work on these jacked up time lines of when they send things out. It's harding waiting when there's nothing you can do to speed it up. Booo LOL. I'll be glad when this K1 is over. At least with the AOS you are together. This bit here is rough going.

At a guess, and it is just that, but someone with a July/ August wedding date wouldn't be offered the next available interview because there's 5 months til then. Yup, you get 6 months to use the visa and another 90 days to actually get married but if you were interviewed in April/May and received your visa in good time following interview, you would meet your July/ August date assuming you entered as soon as you got your visa and waited til close to the 90 days.

What did you put down as a travel date?

What I want to know is why they're not sticking to the 4-6 weeks quoted time to process your packet from receipt. Even if they gave you an interview in April/ May, at least you wouldn't be sitting in limboland

I really hope that isn't the case, we only put that date down as a estimate depending on how long the visa/interview took to get. This is so frustrating!
