UK Medical Locations/Cost

[Shari 6]

Hello to all! I am back on this forum after over a year's absence since my husband is home in the U.S. and we have been very happily married for over a year now. My husband's daughter now wants to join us in the U.S. We will be filing out paperwork for her after the first of the year. I believe things have changed from when my husband had his medical in 07/05, so could someone tell me the locations in England please? My husband had gone to Birmingham (as he lived in Ulverston-Cumbria) and that was the closest Nunnelly Hospital, but I don't think the embassy contracts with Nunnelly anymore. Also, what is the present fee for the medical? Thank you!

Thanks! WOW - that is a fantastic link. They didn't have that link last year when my husband went through this. Unfortunately London is 4+ hours away from Ulverston so I am really bummed that my step-daughter will have to travel that far away twice (medical and then interview). She will have to rely on someone else too to drive her down there. Thanks again!

Hey Shari, I remember when you got the good to go, so pleased that all is working out for you both. I was going to say the medical is now only done in London and it is not cheap. The one good thing is that your stepdaughter can phone up once she has got the go ahead and make an appointment for mid afternoon which should give her ample time to travel down there. Hope all goes well

Munchkins - that's good to know she can schedule her own time; and yes, I am the happiest I have EVER been with my truly wonderful husband!!! Good luck with the rest of your journey. I hope you soon get your waiver!!!

Well . . . he has a job, but not in the field he wants. He has been working since the end of July making about 1/2 what he could, but what can you do? He was a mechanical engineer in the UK and worked for a shipyard and then did subsea work. He is working for a geotechnical company as an engineering "technician" (as he doesn't have experience in this type of engineering). He is constantly looking for other things, gets calls from recruiters who say "we have the perfect job for you" but then never call back, etc. At least his paycheck helps to pay bills! Thanks for asking!

Your welcome Shari, it must be difficult when a man moves over the pond, harder than a woman I think at least we can sit and do reception or typing all day at least he is working and you know the old saying

"all good things come to those who wait" perhaps the New Year will bring new job

Anyway would just like to add Happy Christmas to you both
