When to make medical appt for London???

[MrsBruce5 0]

Hi !

I am an avid planner and have a question regarding the medical appt. in Knightsbridge.

Our case is at NVC just now, and not yet in London.

We are at this stage in the process:

We sent back the DS-3032, I paid the AOS bill and I am waiting for the actual I-864 pacakge to hit me and for the DS-230 bill to get here as well.

My husband lives in Aberdeen Scotland, and has to travel 2x to London. Once for the medical, and once for the interview. If all goes well, I am purely speculating here, but perhaps a June interview is in our future???

How soon should he make the appt in Knightsbridge? Will he be instructed as to when? Or is it at our own discretion?

I may be jumping the gun here, but as I say-planning ahead is something that has worked well for us during the process and I would like to keep the momentum going...

Thanks !!

Hi Rose,

We have found out that CR1 cases once the file goes to the Embassy in London you go straight to the Packet 4 (which we are still waiting for) which informs you of the Interview Date and provides information on getting the medical. There has been some debate as to whether or not you can get the medical before receiving Packet 4 because there is a form enclosed for the doctor to fill out. Some have said you can download the form yourself and bring it with you and others have said you can't. Of course I can't find any of the posts discussing that LOL.

I know how you feel though about planning ahead. My husband lives in Devon and will also have to make two trips to London for the medical and interview.

If someone has better info about getting the medical (for CR1) before getting Packet 4 please let BOTH of us know. From what I understand with the K-1 you can do your medical first and then inform the Embassy that you have that already and it may help speed up interview dates. However like I said I don't think that's the case for us CR1 cases.

Hopefully some if this helps you Rose. Like I said, if anyone has any better advice or if I am off base with anything I said please feel free to let me know.

I will say this Rose.. The people on this site are the best most wonderful people who provide such helpful and knowledgable information based on their experiences!!!

Good luck and let us know by posting how it all is going!
