Congrats again, photomile!

Question to everyone, my fiancé is ordering a copy of his birth certificate. I wanted to confirm whether the certificate does or does not need the "Apostille Stamp" for the interview. After searching through this specific thread and the UK forum in general, nothing came up, so I wanted to make sure he gets the correct version. Thanks in advance!

Congratulations photomile! Sounds like you had the same interviewer I had

hey leftcoastlady. no it does not need a legalisation (apostille) stamp - just tell him to order from the general register office http://www.gro.gov.uk/gro/content/certificates/default.asp - the certified copy they send you is sufficient. also they're super nice on the phone if you ever need to get hold of them.

Perfect, thanks! There's a huge cost difference between the "regular" birth certificate and the one with apostille, so that's great to hear.

this one is £9.25 i think, and i got it back sooner than 15 days too (you can also pay £23.40 for it to be issued next day).

and they give the original back to you on the interview day, which is handy.

Hello everyone! I'm not sure if I should put this in the medical thread or here, but I have a question. My fiance had his medical today, and everything seems to have gone well. However, he was briefly on depression medicine last year and needs a letter from his doctor about it. Is this something that will slow down getting an interview?

Probably. Knightsbridge will not send his medical report to the embassy until his doctor supplies the letter so they can conclude the medical evaluation. The interview will not be scheduled until the medical report is received.

The delay will be as long it takes his doctor to get the requested information to Knightsbridge.

Hi guys,

I also had a similar question. My medical is next week so I have gathered all my documents to take. My GP printed out details of my medical history for me to take. I have never had any serious health problems *touch wood* & as far as I know I am completely healthy now. The information is very clear & shows dates, test results, action taken, type of treatment given, etc, but it is not in the form of a letter which has been signed. He has signed my immunisation records though. I have just been wondering if I need an actual letter from my GP to describe any previous issues? As I said I have never been given medication or diagnosed with anything serious, that's why I didn't think I needed a letter.

Thanks. He's going to go and have the doctor send the letter tomorrow, as he's in the middle of a train station right now. I sincerely hope that UK doctors are faster at sending things than the American ones I've dealt with.

i never had a letter from my gp. only my immunisation record. they just ask you questions. told him that i had a few injuries from sport and suffered from hives this year and it all seems fine.

You don't need anything but your immunizations then. If you had diabetes, or cancer, or high blood pressure for example, then Knightsbridge would want a letter/statement/report/description from your doctor with details of your condition, dates, treatment, prognosis, meds now or if cured...

If you mention anti-depressants at all, they will likely ask for something from your doctor. I told my fiancé to say NO to that question. Not advising here because that is a personal decision and experience I am reporting and not a suggestion for anybody.
