photos and medical appointment tips

[Captain Oates 911]

Well I am hoping I am nearly done at NVC with my CR1 visa and can start getting ready for the London Medical/interview

Is it correct that I send 2 photos back with packet 3 and also take one for the medical ?

therefore I don't take any to the interview ?

Can the medical one be a 'normal' uk passport photo or must that be US visa size ?

They are £15 each in Leeds !

Also it would be great if I could arrange a medical as soon as I am 'case complete' at the nvc but the clinic said I had to wait for packet 3...

One veejayer told em he had received packet 3 and there was no medical form in it - and he got away with it and they made him an appointment....

Don't know if I am up to that so any more tips on how to arrange it early ?

thanks... alan

For the K1 medical appointment, all you really need is your case number to schedule one. The form is one they can provide for you if you forget it, so there's nothing special or personalized about the one you receive in the mail. If the CR1 is a different medical, however, then there may be different forms/requirements.

nope the medicals are the same - just to make sure you aren't dangerous to the clean herd in the USA.

but i rang a few weeks ago and she refused to schedule me even though I had the LONxxxx visa case number

She said I had to have the questionnaire in my hands before they would schedule it...

I wonder if I just got a crabby assistant that day ?

did you schedule before you received packet 3 ?.. there must be a correct form of words that works....

and the photos - 1 for the medical and 2 to return with packet 3 ?

you can always go to the embassy website and print out the foprms. I don't think hey are particular about having the from come off of Embassy printers or not...

Hey now that IS a good idea !

then when she says 'have you got the forms from the embassy' i can say 'yes i got them from the embassy and i am looking at them right now..'

BRILLIANT !

genius !

where would I be without my VJ people...

thanks ever so - right off to the website now...

Try "hi, i need to schedule an appointment, case number LND . .. . ."

Did you volunteer that you didn't have the forms the first time? There are scans of the medical questionaire around here too. Look up AlienUKGirl's posted scans. There may be some in my gallery as well.

(I don't know that London has the med forms online, don't know if they are universally the same. Haven't checked though.)

No all I said was I would like to schedule a medical for my CR1 visa and I have the visa case number here...then she asked if I had received the pack yet from the london Embassy and I thought I had better say no as I didn't know what she would ask next...then she said she needed to go through some things on the medical questionnaire before she could book the appointment..

ok thanks for the time about the scans - i will root about on the embassy site and see if i can find the forms - I will be back !

searched all over the london embassy site

found a brief page on the medical but no forms etc

searched the whole site using 'medical' and questionnaire' -- no result

All they care about is if you have had Packet 3 yet -- if the n*mbnuts at the Embassy forgot to put in the questionnaire that is not your problem! And yes, they will provide you with another form on the day if you need it. See AlienUKGirls's post, as mentioned above: http://www.visajourney.com/forums/index.ph...ic=63569&hl= Print off the medical form and technically you WILL have the questionnaire!

As for the photos, UK size for the medical is not only okay but actually what they want! They need to cut down US size ones. Why they tell you you'll need a US size one for that is beyond me. Photos do not have to be returned with P3 -- they are presented on the day of the interview. Now, they ask for 2 US-size photos, but they only asked us for one. Better safe than sorry though, so take two on the day.

Where are you going that it costs 15 quid each??? We had 2 done at a Snappy Snaps for around 11, if I recall correctly.

brilliant info

i will print her posts off and try it...

yes snappy snaps in leeds - used em twice and they charge £15 each photo !

they do a good job of getting the us embassy photo right but incredibly expensive...

If I dont need a US style photo to return with packet 3 i will come to london the day before and get two at the place near the embassy...

if a UK style one will do for the medical then that's great !

now we are rockin !

many thanks

ps

i dont want the embassy to get the medical result before they receive the file from nvc - so as soon as nvc say 'case complete' i will try for the medical 3 weeks after that...which should be about the time i receive packet 3 approx-

if they say there is a 6 week wait for the medical then at least that makes sure i get the medical before the interview...

phew ! never again !
