finally we got visas early this morning!.. wheww! after 5 days of hearthrobbing wait from sms courier and embassy's decision. thanks to my very quick & supportive employer and agency (we worked jointly) who contacted consulate and took immediate action regarding my unconditional job offer, faxed it to us embassy & finally done within 5 days... it took us a total of 16 months processing from my pd!

i am so happy to say that i was one of the lucky nurses who got a share of the last slices of the remaining 50k sched a visas... million thanks for this forum and members, i've learned a lot... those who are still waiting on the process, bear in mind us badly needs nurses, i only feel that visa nos will be available sooner or later but not so long.
