I have a question regarding my parents from UK.

I am a USC (by marriage) and I would like to sponsor my parents over.

Does the I-130 have to be filed in UK back home OR can I file the I-130 for them here?

What concerns me is the medical. I have read numerous posts of how it's done in London Knightsbridge - I cannot believe they are the ONLY USCIS Civil surgeons there to do medicals for immigration. My mother is disabled and i read somewhere where a mother had to carry her son up the flight of stairs?? That's just not on.

Is there any chance the medical could be taken place over here in the U.S??

You mean you are married or were married to a USC and have since naturalized.

:thumbup: yes that is correct


You would file the I-130 (one for each parent) in the US and eventually they will interview at the US Consulate in London.

Unfortunately, yes that is the only civil physician who can administer the medical for US immigration visas in all of the UK.

So, first comes the filing, then comes the medical, then comes the interview at the U.S consulate in London?

Unless I was very rich, this would make me extremely nervous if I was bringing my mother over.

There are 2 London Embassy doc locations - one in Knightsbridge (there may well be a back way into the office which is accessible plus I noticed on their site that there is another location which may well be accessible.
You need to call them to enquire nearer the time (or now to put your mind at rest) but agree with others that you need to really look into health insurance in USA for mum before you get started on this
