London medical

[Captain Oates 911]

My CR1 Visa is still with NVC but I thought I would steal a march by getting the medical done...

Rang the medical centre in Knightsbridge and they will NOT arrange a medical until packet 3 is received as they need to 'go through some things which are in the packet'

I told them it was a full immigrant visa and I had my LND2007xxxxx number etc but no way will they do it...

Many VJ folk told me it was possible to do it early, but perhaps that was in other countries

Alan -- what they are talking about is a few forms which are in the P3. I think it's an IV-18. Hmmm...I think you are also required to present your P3 cover letter too, but I am less certain about this.

oh ok - well i will just wait as it should not hold things up --

sat looking at the rain - worst for 93 years - my mum is 93 so she can't remember it this bad..

looking for the post lady and my IV fee bill - generated two weeks ago- stuck in the mail strike ?

Calling nvc in an hour to see if I-485 generated then I will go and mail that

really depressing just now - come on IV bill !

Carolyn is so depressed with the whole thing and of course June is 90 degrees and sunny in Wisconsin so she isnt used to living in the cold wet submarine that is our temporary rented house in Lancashire... she liked North Yorkshire, but this place.... sorry to any Lancastrians reading...

I just booked my medical this morning. They asked if I had received my documents and had my case number - I explained I had my forms but they forgot to include the medical questionnaire.

The girl said no problem, just arrive a little early to fill one out. Also as the maps to the medical centres and FAQ's for the medical are on the website http://www.visamedicals.info i don't think there is any reason why you can't book your medical using just your case number.

I booked my medical for the earliest slot - july 30th, so there's quite a long waiting list at the moment in London.

I am on a K1 visa, not a CR1, so my circumstances may be different, but I reckon you could phone the medical centre again and say you have received your docs and get the medical booked, as your next set of docs is certain to arrive before you actually get to the medical.

Brave stuff - when I am on very safe ground I am an excellent liar... but if i haven't actually got packet 3 I might be shaky...I will keep an eye on it as I expect to be out of NVC by mid august and packet 3 around 1st week in sept ... so if i booked mid Aug I should be ok for mid sept... actually i did that medical questionnaire for K1 and have a copy so i could quote from that... hum,..anyway thanks for the tip - it's a beauty !
