Medical Appointment (London Embassy)

[ameribrit 37]

DOS will be able to tell you when your case reaches London, when Pk3 is sent out, and when Pk3 is logged. They won't send out Pk4 (interview date e-mail/letter) without the medical results being joined to your casefile. Early medical won't make any difference

I really appreciate your responses. Might I ask how you know this information? I see that you only just started the process and I'm curious. I hope you're right!

Lots and lots of reading of other peoples posts, here on VJ. Specifically UK

I want to be as prepared as possible when my time comes.

Nope. It makes no difference. And the medical appointments can be gotten much faster than the interview. Even when they are super busy, they can usually get someone an appointment in about 2 weeks.

I am a little confused. Should we wait to book the medical until we know London has logged our files? I guess a better question would be on average how long does it take between being sent off by NVC to London actually logging the file.. Then we can book it with a time frame in mind so it is logged when they get the results.

Thanks!

You can book your medical as soon as you have your London case number. Some people wait for their petition to be logged in at the London Embassy first, just to make sure that London have a case file open for their medical results to get paired with. London should have your petition logged in within a week of it leaving NVC

There is really no immediate rush to get the medical done straight away, and they are usually able to get it booked pretty soon after you put in the call.
