London Embassy

[ScotsMajik 0]

Hi VJers. Just wondering if anyone knows when they are scheduling interviews at the Embassy in London? My husband's visa was approved on Feb. 5th, and he went for his medical (what a racket!) last Friday. So far, no word about a date.

Thanks for any info.

Have you gone through the NVC?

They normally schedule the interview date. I didn't book my medical until the Embassy sent me a letter confirming the date. Although I had already found out the date by ringing the NVC when I was waiting for my case to be completed.

Write to me by email, and I'll detail the experience for you!!!!

Isma -- I'm a bit confused. He's been approved by NVC, but all of our notifications go to our lawyer in London. I would assume he lets us know the date (he's not the dodgy type). Is there another way short of calling him?

You could call the NVC directly yourself - they will know if your date has been scheduled. When I called them they told me my case had been completed the day before and told me my date. I got a letter through the post about 2 weeks later with the details for the medical and the details for the interview.

Juni and Mike - there is a thread in the UK forum here with many detailed accounts of people's experiences at the medical - http://www.visajourney.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=8321

There's nothing to worry about. The 'racket' as far as I am concerned was the price - and the fact that there is only one approved place to go so they can charge as much as they like. But the experience itself is boring, annoying, a little instrusive but basically simple and easy to get through.

Isma, that may have been the case for you, but it was not the case for my husband, and his lawyer has raised some very serious concerns (which I will not discuss here) with the Embassy.

Thanks for the info, btw.

If you think your concerns might affect others going through the medical it might be helpful to post a review in the UK medical thread
