    My philosophy is it's better safe than sorry. It's much easier to just being forthcoming and not have to worry about withholding any information, saying the right things, etc. Not only is it easier, but more importantly, we're legally obligated to give truthful responses. My fiance is in the same situation. Struggled with depression during a bad time in his life, was diagnosed by a GP, but never pursued medication/etc, has never self-harmed, does not want to harm others, etc. He's requested a letter from his GP stating he's not a threat to himself or others and it has all been a very easy process, I think it cost him 30 pounds.

    On further research we decided to follow the instructions of the letter. When we looked at the interview scheduling portal, the soonest available appointment was only a week away, so we decided it's probably safe to schedule the visa interview after the medical panel. We haven't yet scheduled his medical interview, because we're still waiting on his medical records and his ACRO police certificate, and he doesn't feel comfortable scheduling until he's got everything in hand. However, we don't have to deal with selling a house or anything - pretty much as soon as his visa is in hand, he'll logistically be able to move, so we aren't on as much of a time crunch as it sounds like you are!

    I would assume so. Plus, fiance has to get a police certificate for his medical panel/visa interview, so that will also prove a clean record.

    I had an RFE for the same thing - I had simply forgotten to check the "no" box on question 2B. All I had to do was check "no" on the letter they sent me and send it back. When there's no criminal record to be found, you can't really submit proof of a negative. I just checked "no", sent the letter back, and then my case was approved less than a month later.

    Hello! Just posting for clarification. The instructions we received from the London embassy state clearly to attend the medical exam, and then schedule the interview. However, I have seen other members suggest to schedule the visa interview first, and then schedule the medical exam for ~2 weeks prior to that. I'm assuming the reasoning for this is that interview slots are more limited than medical exam slots. Since I've also read that visas are valid from the time of the medical exam rather than the interview, I'm nervous about him attending his medical and not being able to get a visa interview scheduled for another couple of months. Does anyone have any experience they could share with this?

    I can't speak to the labeling issue, but I can say that we received an RFE and all in all it was only about a month of a setback! From the time we sent back the evidence they asked for and the time our case status on the USCIS website changed to case approved, it was a couple of days shy of a month.

    Thanks so much! It seemed too easy to be true 😅

    Hello! My fiance and I have received a request for further evidence, attached below. What is attached is the whole letter - the only thing they are asking for is a response to a question that I must have accidentally skipped over. Because I do not have a criminal record, the answer is a simple "no". I am posting just for reassurance that all I need to do is check the "no" box, sign, and send it back, OR some guidance on what sort of supporting evidence they might need. I can't quite think of anything that would prove I have NOT had any criminal convictions, so I was hoping you all could help me if there's something obvious I'm missing! Thanks so much!
