LOL, yeah I get all that.  I am hoping to spend some time with Monica in the Philippines and visit some areas and her family.  Then fly back here together.  

Where is Monica from in the Philippines?

Her family lives in Roxas City in Capiz on Panay.  What about your fiance?

 

Right now she is in Makati.

This is what mine says:

 

Estibaliz said she saw other people mentioning the different answer - and that is reassuring...
but really why on earth they have two different forms for response is beyond my comprehension, not a very good scanner but you can make out that it is different!

wow you'll be island hopping then.

Good thing shes currently not that far from the Embassy in Manila and St Lukes.

 

My fiance is from Tarlac City which is 4-5 hours north of Manila. Hated the bus ride going to and from manila. Did it 4 times during my 4 week stay

My R is from Tapaz, Capiz just down the road.

@Martella&T, I am not sure why it would be different.  I would probably contact NVC in about 10 days from the approval date and see what they say.

That bus ride would kill me.  I hate riding buses.  No fun at all.

Those are a couple of threads where I had seen that before, apart from seeing that mentioned on other monthly threads. I like to give references, because I don't really know everything and can make mistakes too

 

Anyway, worst case scenario, if that was true and they skipped NVC (can't, they need to crease your case there and give it a number), then you would hear from your Embassy next thing

@Estibaliz, wait, what?  You don't know everything there is to know about K1 Visa and all of it's many intricacies?  I am totally disillusioned.

Sorry, mate, but that's the hard cold truth

Just an update:

 

Completed medical at Knightsbridge. Whole process took like 40 minutes, only about 20 of which is spent with doctors while 20 is spent waiting between doctors. For those interested, it wasn't as invasive as I expected: X-ray, blood test, Ear, Throat and Abdomen  check along with a urine sample and blood pressure check.  

Thanks for the update! I have mine on Thursday. Happy to hear it was easy

I am also in favour of you taking up job with USCIS and then explaining all their mysteries to us and the rest of the bewildered rows of fiances and fiancees!

I thought you appreciated me more than that, for you to want me to work there 

I'm sure it would be 'interesting', to say the least...

Hello Everyone! 

 

Happy Tuesday.. another day closer! hehe.

 

So today I had my medical appointment at Knightsbridge Doctors and thought i'd let you all know how it went for those wondering!  

 

Turned up a little early (appointment was for 10.10am but got there at 9.50am) make sure you press the buzzer on the side of the building "knightsbridge doctors" which lets you in. 

 

Once your in head to the booth where you'll say your name and hand over all of your documents (ladies in reception are really nice and definitely put you at ease so don't get nervous)   They will give you a urine sample pot which you'll fill and place into a red bag that they give you, hand it back to reception after, they give you like two tick sheets (really simple questions) once I did this I was told to wait in the waiting room until my name was called, I sat down for about 5/10 minutes and a women came in and called my name. I was taken to a room where I removed my top and was told to put a gown on and stand by a x ray machine (Just a reminder: They do tell you to put your hair up for the x ray). After this I was taken to the waiting room again where I was told to wait for another doctor.

 

After 5/10 minutes again another doctor came and she was SO lovely! She is from new zealand and I hope you all get her! put me at ease completely, ended up talking about lots of things about how she moved to the uk etc and even looked at my ring too haha.. I felt so much at ease to the point I didn't even realise she'd finished the blood test and completed all checks..  

 

The checks she carried out in the room with me were as follows:

 

- Checked my temperature 

- Checked my eyes, ears and mouth

- Listened to my breathing

- Took a weight and height recording

- I had to close one eye and read a couple letters off the far wall.

 

And that was literally it.. no vaccines were required as i'd had them all previously. The doctor told me that I was all healthy. 

 

So PLEASE do not worry because it really isn't that bad! I was in and out in about 45 minutes! 

 

Worst part is honestly saying goodbye to £300 haha. 

 

Good Luck to you all and please feel free to message me if you have any questions!  

 

@S*UK Thank you for your message yesterday! Good luck with yours in a couple days! Hope this gives you a good insight to what it will be like, please do not be nervous haha.  

 

@DrivinAForeign Hope this helps! please tell her not to worry.

Thanks for the update @JessnTrev. So glad it went well for you. One step closer wohoo .

I'm honestly more worried about the travelling to get to London. But im sure it will be fine. I have a few hours to kill both before and after my medical because of my train ticket times. I didn't really want to be 'hanging around' on my own given recent events but im sure i'll find something to do nearby for a while.

I'll keep you updated! Thanks for the good luck
