Re: Point of Entry

That's interesting. I'm flying from London to Oakland via LAX in a few weeks, and have been trying to decide whether to go with the 4 hour or 6 hour layover. Are you implying that LAX is efficient?

Re: US embassy london

I was also approved pending medical, and was not given a 221g. Maybe it depends on your circumstances and the visa you're applying for. I was DCF in London for IR-1. So don't be worried if you don't...
