Fee to pay at/before London Interview?

[Divalicious 2]

When my fiance filed the K1 visa, he sent off the fee for it. I am preparing to pay for the medical examination I have on October 9th but from reading various websites, I believe I have to pay an additional fee when/before I go for my interview in London? Is this correct?

If so, When and how do I need to pay this? Also, how much is it?

@Nich-Nick, can you do the Police certificate before petition approval and also do you know how long the police cert is for?

Just sent my petition this September, just want to get everything ready.

Yes you can. 12 months.

Sort your shots now too.

what do you mean by shots? sorry for asking...

Go to your NHS doctor and get the immunizations you will need for Adjustment of Status. You can get a K1 visa without having any shots, but you will need them before AOS. Its extremely wise to take care of it before getting to the US so you can avoid civil surgeon hassles and $$$. Many NHS doctors will do them for free, but they are not obligated to do so for immigration purposes. Get the shots documented by your doctor to take to your visa medical exam. If your doctor should say you dont need something on this list, remember you have to go by US rules and that differs from UK standards. Here are the shots needed for 19 through 59 years of age

• Td or Tdap - Tetanus/diptheria/pertussis or get DT, DTP or DtaP and it will be accepted for AOS also. The latest shot must be no longer than 10 years ago or you need a booster. If you have a record of receiving pertussis, then the Td is okay for the booster.
• MMR - (if born in 1957 or later)-Mumps/measles/rubella. It's two doses in your life, but if you get the first dose, and 4 weeks haven't passed by your medical, they will waive the second dose for "insufficient time interval". If you only had one dose as a child, get a second one before the medical.
• Varicella - Not routinely given in the UK . A history of having chickenpox excuses you from the shot. They take your word for it at the visa medical exam.
• Influenza Required during flu season only, October 1 through March 31. This was a new recommendation dated November 2010 for all ages over 6 months. Older lists will say flu shots for over age 50. It changed.

Ok, I understand... My local NHS nurse told me she is not giving me any of them because I don't need them. I don't know what to do.

If you have already had them, then get a print out or proof ....name of shot and date you had it.

I know I have had them, but I cannot get hold of my history.

Wondering how the NHS nurse knows you don't need them if they have no history.

If you want a greencard to live in the US, then you will get the shots. If not at your surgery, then at:

Visa medical exam

Boots, Asda, Tesco etc

In the US at a civil surgeon, health department, Walgreens, CVS, grocery store clinic

When is your interview? you don't have it on your timeline?

I ask as if you are granted a visa, it is only good for 6 months from date of the medical exam
