The doctors office that your fiancee has to go to is Knightsbridge Doctors in London. It's pretty easy to get an appointment when the time comes.You can get some good deals on hotels in London as well believe it or not! My husband is from Carnoustie in Scotland. He had taken the bus to London for his medical which was an awful 13 hours! We took the train from Arbroath to London which was alot quicker and much more comfortable for his interview.I have taken an express train from Edinburgh to London and it was just over 4 hours. We sent in his I129 petition the last week of December 2007 and his K1 interview and approval(same day) was the first week of June 2008. Tell your fiancee to see if she needs any vaccinations as well. There are plenty of links on here for a list of what vacs are required. If she needs any tell her to get them locally so NHS will pay for it. Knightsbridge doctors will charge.

Welcome to you both! My husband is a Scot as well - from Hamilton.

"sunny" and "edinburgh" seem a bit oxymoronic to me! You see the sun one day in 10 if you are lucky! But I love bonnie Scotland anyways.

Ohhh how exciting!

Welcome both of you! Its such an exciting time, well also very annoying and anxious but exciting all the same!

I also am from scotland (check all us scots!!) Im from Aberdeen and will be moving to northern virginia.

We are actually just at the stage of putting the I-129F package all together but I have really found everything I need to know for this stage and beyond from this forum and the wiki! Im a lurker not a poster!

I will be so very sad to leave Scotland, but its a small price to pay so I can be with the man I love!!

Take Care!

Congrats on the NOA1! Feels great doesnt it!

My other half sent the petition around the 26th/27th of January and we received the NOA1 the following week, dated for the 30th of Jan.

We're doing our best not to count the weeks and stuff, but it seems most applications at the moment from what I am hearing are moving along quite quickly!

Best of luck to you....keep us all updated!

Right I'm going to stamp my feet now .... our I 129F was sent on 24th February and we haven't got the NOA1 yet. Call me Ms Impatient!!

When I filed the I-129 in 2003, I never received NOA1. To top that off, I thought sending a money order instead of a check was the better thing to do, so it was difficult to know if they even cashed the MO. After several months, and several phone calls, I finally managed to get a case number. Very frustrating experience, let me tell ya.

I always say count yourself lucky if you do get one.

Many people from out of town have scheduled their medical and interview for the same trip; maybe that would work for you?
