Hello!

 

I received my package 3 through the post and I am applying for my ACRO today. I have a question - as the form could take 30 days, should I wait until I have my ACRO in hand to book my medical and interview, or can I book in advance (For example, beginning of March?) What have people done in the past and what would everyone suggest? Thank you!

 

I am going to sort the DS-160 ASAP too!

Personally i would book the interview first and then once that date is known, book the medical. You don't want the medical done so far in advance that it severely impacts the expiration date of the visa when issued

Thank you! Should I wait to book both until I receive my ACRO certificate or shall I book them both now in advance when I know I'll have my ACRO cert back?

I think it's a personal choice. 

 

You may find it very helpful to go visa the UK regional forum for London specific information and ask London specific questions

Hello! I am due to schedule my interview and my medical today after being told that my police certificate is on its way.

 

My question is: Am I okay with only ONE copy? Is this the copy I give at the medical, and I don't need any more copies? I would like to make sure in case I need to purchase an extra copy!

 

Thank you

Police report is typically not provided at the medical but to the Consulate at interview 

On the US embassy website for the UK it states that the required documents I need for my medical is the ACRO. But then it also states on the interview’s required documents which is why I am querying if one copy is enough and if they will give it back to me?

They don’t keep any originals at the medical in London. Will photocopy anything they need and hand back originals to you.

Yep, as above, you do need it for the medical but they take a copy and give it back to you. One copy did us just fine last year with our London application. 
 

Good luck.

My wife had her medical in December and she had to provide hers.
