waiting time for appts?

[Twinkles 10]

Hey all,

Im about to inform the London Embassy and arrange my medical.

Hoping to get all this out of the way in one trip. Was wondering if thats going to be possible.

Does anyone know the average wait times for appts? Thats for Medical and interview.

My Fiance is a little worried as he says the date on a letter he received says "approved application is only valid thru may 20"

Does this mean i have to have been to both my medical and interview by this date?

Thx

My understanding is that you need the medical before interview - so you can't do it on the same day.

You can do the medical on the same day as the interview if you MUST. If you do it will delay the approval of your visa until the Embassy recieves your results.

You need to leave time between your medical and the interview so that the Knightsbridge doctor can forward their report to the Embassy...

I'm going to be doing my medical at least two weeks before the interview so that there's plenty of time for everything to be sent over.

Sorry..My bad.

I should have made myself more clear. I am going to be staying with my Brother down South. He lives about an hour from London.

I read the guides and know there has to be a few days between medical and interview. Thats what i plan to do.

So it will be two separate trips into London.

My question is, how complicated will it be to Negotiate appts with both places to be able to get both out of the way in one trip down south? I dont mind having to stay with my brother for 10 days to two weeks..Thats fine =)

Plus is there a long waiting list for appts once you tell the Embassy and medical people your ready?

and lastly the date my fiances letter said was May 20th. Do i have to do all of this before then?

Hope that clears any confusion

Wait until you get the interview appointment from the Embassy, they choose the date and time, then call the doctors office and schedule your medical to suit. You will be very unlucky if the doctors office doesn't have time available in your time frame.
