nope, as long as you have your NVC case number thats all u need, as well as other things like police certificate, vaccine records, any hospitalization records, 1 passport photo, your passport, your case number (NVC) an i think thats its, he set his up before we even had any of the bills paid, strangly i think the UK is one of the very few countries that allow you to do this

Does the NVC send the Police cert back so I can use it for the medical? Or should I get another one issued?

Ready for my grand ol' timeline? Alrighty then!

John had his medical on the 10th of this month. Both our K1 interview date and now this one was issued on a Thursday. I wonder if that's the day that London releases their interview dates?

Does the NVC send the Police cert back so I can use it for the medical? Or should I get another one issued?

You won't get it back before the interview so you'll need to get another one.

Ahh thanks! I'm glad I thought about this now, it turns out I can order additional ones up to 3 months after requesting the original for £5 (and then postage) so this is probably all just in time.

yeah it's nice they give you some time after the original order. We've always ordered 2 just in case...the first time John went through this you didnt need it at the medical but now they reqire it so we already had it lol

I just looked at the documentation for Knightsbridge and I can't see anywhere it mentioning the police check. Of course, being the worry wart that I am I'll have about 15 copies of it now, but I think it's strange it doesn't say it anywhere on the online PDF. Thanks for the help!

Yeah it doesn't say it anywhere. They should put it on there really but I guess they haven't updated their information! Doesn't help people trying to plan.

The thing is we don't know how many people that ARENT on vj are actually being processed as well. So even though it seems like a long ways off the other people on VJ had their cases closed nearly a month before mine. In july a gal was assinged an interview date on Sept 23. He case closed on the 12th of July and she didn't get her interview date until August 2nd. I don't mind waiting less than 2 months it gives me something to countdown now.

little secret i was told at knightsbridge, get your medical asap, our case is now nearing CC and my hubby has had his medical, they told him the embassy will get the results an log them into comp, then when nvc go to schedule the interview they will see the medicals done an instead of the standard 6-8week wait they give u, ull find they give u an interview withing 2-3 weeks of CC, also we had our case expedited at USCIS, got NVC done quick so didnt need to ask there but will defo be askn for a closer interview due to the reasons case was expedited, so theres ways to get the interview sooner, medical being done before nvc cc is a big one, having a genuine reason to get interview asap is another, good luck to all my fellow brits :D chris

This could well be true, I have not had my medical as I have been in the US. I get back to the UK on Saturday and will try and sort the medical ASAP.

Then I am hoping to email the embassy asking for an earlier interview date.

Hey everyone,

I know this is a little off topic but I was wondering if any of you had travelled to the States while your visa application was processing? I was planning to go over next month to visit my wife for a couple weeks but I want to make sure my application won't be affected before I book my flights. Any advise you have regarding this would be much appreciated! :)

Cheers

Peter
