Handicapped access at London embassy?
Ok, I am worrying about this way ahead of time, since it will probably
be a couple of months until the interview... but anyway... I was just reading the embassy ratings on VisaJourney, and someone was complaining about lack of ramp and elevator, steps outside, visa office on 2nd floor... my fianc� can't get up stairs at all at the moment, and this is unlikely to change between now and then, and I'm just worrying about what on earth to do about this. Anyone have any experience or clues? Nina |

Have you considered emailing the Embassy?

I had my interview at the London Embassy a couple of weeks ago and I don't recall seeing any disabled access at all. As you're probably aware there are a lot of steps; a few to get into the building then some more once you're inside. As FlyergirlUK already said, emailing would probably be the best bet. The address is [email protected] Hope this helps.

I figured that I'd wait until the case file got there; we *just* got the letter saying that the INS was sending things to London. So as soon as I get confirmation on that, I'm going to try to work this out. There's just got to be some kind of access... I was just hoping that someone happened to know, because... well, this just hadn't really occurred to me because all government buildings in the US are legally required to be handicapped accessible. So now I have a new thing on my worry list. It would be really nice if ANY part of this process wasn't filled with anxiety. Nina |

We finally phoned them. :-) Great :o) It stands to reason that there would have wheelchair access but you can never be too careful. Checking it out beforehand is the most sensible thing to do.

The funny (not very, actually...) thing is that the place that *doesn't* have handicapped access is the place where they do the medical exams. I asked the nice woman on the phone what they do if people can't get up stairs, and she said, well, the doctors usually just come out and lift the wheelchair. Really strange. |
Re: Handicapped access at London embassy?
That sucks. The one thing I will say in their favour though is that the
people at the Nuffield are very, very nice. At least they were in Edinburgh (where I had my medical).
