No packet 4 yet!!

[khanshahid 0]

Hi,

I called DOS on october 9 and they told me that my interview is on November 9, however I still have not recieved any letter from the embassy yet (most likely due to the delays caused by the postal strike). I want to schedule my medical so can I do it without getting this packet? What if the packet still doesn't come by the time of the medical, would there be a problem? What forms in the packet do I need for my medical? Also can I schedule the medical at either Knightsbridge or Bentinck mansion or is there a specific one? Where do I find the contact info for these place?

Thanks

As long as you have your London case number (starts LND2007...), you can schedule your medical, and given your impending interview date I would do this ASAP. When you make your appointment, they'll tell you where you'll have your medical, but when I was scheduling my husband's I was told (back in May) that US ones were only being done through Bentinck Mansions. All the contact info for scheduling the medical can be found in Packet 3. If for some reason you don't have Packet 3 to hand, here's the info: http://www.visamedicals.info/us.asp Lots of background there on what to expect on the day.

There is a form for the medical in Packet 3, but if you don't have it due to the postal strike, just explain on the day. You'll need a passport-size photo as well, and don't forget proof of immunisations. Further info on which jabs are required is available on the US Embassy website.

It *might* be worthwhile calling the extortion line if you still don't have an interview letter a week before your interview as you will most likely not be admitted without one. Good luck!

Its taken 7 days from the date my Packet 4 was posted to receive it because of the post office strike.

I have it in my hand now

Ive got train tickets booked and a hotel for overnight stay.

Hope you get it soon.
