Hi all, I jujst had a medical for my visitors visa (which has been approved pending medical results). Does anyone know how they will contact me so i can send them my passport etc? I have since moved house and am worried that my mail won't get forwarded, although any contact from embassy has been by e mail so far. I am assuming it will be by e mail but am unsure.
many thanks in advance for any help on this.

Medical for a visitors visa!

I am going to guess it is not a visitors visa.

I think we are getting to smart for all this

Drink driving or drug arrest => VWP ineligible and B-2 with a medical

Spudleydoo - sorry, no idea.

I wasn't aware that a B2 required a medical prior to entry into the US I was under the assumption that it could be used for medical assistance in the US and thus why it was sought in the 1st place..but you live and learn

What excellent thinking.. I forgot all about that!

If a person has sufficient, or recent DUIs or other alcohol (or potentially drug) arrests, they need a waiver for the *medical* inadmissibility.

Apparently, you now need a full medical for entry on any visa for ANY kind of criminal record. (mine was a dui 2 yrs ago) It has just cost me £250. Also, there arre only 2 dr's in the whole of the uk who are approved by the us embassy and they are both in London. Anyway, I had the medical, paid the money and am now awaiting contact from the embassy so i can send them my passport etc. But alas, they didn't say how they would contact me. FYI- this only changed on the 8th august this year and the people at the embassy didn't even know it had changed as they told me it cost £150.
thanks any way guys.

Well all the best

It's not for all visas and it's not that new (something else might be!).. it's because of the DUI.
The Embassy will get in touch with you (email of phone IIRC) about returning your passport, medical results depending.
