London CR1 / IR1 Appointment Updates

[Rainbow Aligator 29]

VisaMedicals said the medical needs to be ideally 10 days before the appointment, 5 days for them to send it over, and 5 for the embassy to process it. Does this sound right? I thought a week before would be enough. Only asking because I have to book my flights in and out of the UK as im not there right now

I'm in the same boat. I'm visiting my wife at present and don't return to the UK until 31st, my interview date is 8th Jan. I went ahead and booked my medical for 2nd and was told the worst case scenario is that it won't be granted that day.

DQed on Nov 1, IL received on Dec 13 for Interview on Jan 10.

 

Finally!! 

 

Question: When you registered for the Embassy online account to select mailing address for passport which option did you guys select? I thought we already have the visa appointment registered from NVC?

I did the first one (need to register an immigrant visa appointment) and once I populated the NVC case number details it auto-populated when my appointment was. It then lets you select the courier/delivery details.

We got our IL letter yesterday too! Question - how have people been able to book the medical already? We can't get anyone to answer the phone number given for VisaMedicals.

Try their email, they were very responsive to that.

Congratulations everyone getting their interview letters! I was DQed on Monday, wondering how frequently they send the ILs - will we be waiting until January now? Thanks

Hello everyone,

 

I want to know what vaccines do they administer during visa medical? As I don’t have any records from my home country, I am planning to get those jabs ahead of medical. I am aware of vaccination requirements from US website. But I heard they will only administer only a few. MMR, DTP and hep B would be sufficient?

No, just those ones wouldn’t be sufficient, you do need the rest (except varicella if you are from the UK), you won’t get the visa otherwise. 

 

Visa Medicals won’t give them all to you in one day if you don’t have any, as it’s just too many. So you’d be better off getting at least some before your medical, then you can have the rest done there.

Hi Everyone 

please is it compulsory to get care summary from GP if no major illness or medical condition? I’ve got my medicals next week.
