   mariel7 replied to yoginurse2b's topic in Immigration

   Notes from a foreign-trained nurse: 1. I believe that America is a great country. As a professional nurse who's been patiently waiting for a visa for years now, I sometimes wish though that other countries like Canada, Australia, New Zealand etc had ...

   Fruity, thanks for the quick reply! Since nothing's certain, let's just prepare everything again ( ds230s, pics, police clearances etc). We've gone this far & we shouldn't leave any lil bit of anything out to chance. On another note, I've heard ...

   Dear fruity & topscot, It's been 8 wks for both of you since case completion & as per NVC, they're supposed to give us update after such time. Have you tried giving them a ring? Or e-mail? What have they got to say? We're hoping that at least...

   Hi Monroe. Yeah looks like we're on the same plate. I have read your posts before about you following-up w/ your agency & how irritated they were. Seems funny that time but not now anymore. Same experience I get from mine. Look where we are now. ...

    I'm sorry about your Mom. Been through the same before. I was Daddy's girl & I lost him to cancer (lymphoma). Hang on, we are all here in this world (no matter what country) for a mission. Sometimes it's just too painful on the way there. Will pr...

    Thanks fruity. You sound really warm & nice. You know what I'm most worried about now (because I have renewed copies of NBI already plus passport easy to photocopy) is that of my husband's police clearance from another country where he worked fo...

    mariel7 replied to dhel28's topic in Immigration

    Oh & BTW our passports aren't even expiring til 2010 & NBI clearances good til Aug2007. Now i'm thinking that since official ds230 forms state it's expiring july 31, 2007, maybe by the time they receive my passport copy & police clearance...
