Salam Dear!
Medical done on 24/12/12. We reached IOM centre at 9:50am for our 10am appointment. From reception we came to a seating hall where there were 3/4 counters. It took us about 20 minutes there while the guy was filling up so many forms for us, paid application fee there. we were then told to go upstairs to the x-ray room, that took another 15-20 minutes. then came downstairs for blood/urine tests plus bp. they took our pics and then we were told that we can go and if there was any problem in our tests then they will contact us with in couple of days otherwise test reports will be sent to chc within 10 days. make sure to take enough photocopies of passports and MR forms and embessy letter. take atleast 6 pictures of each person with you. initially when you book your appointment they will ask you to bring 3 photos each, but thats not the case when you go to iom centre where they ask for 5/6 photos. overall it was an easy experience, we were free in one and half hours.
