Thank you, John, for that nice comment. I just happen to know a thing or two. Yup, I am still a nurse and a pinoy who just happen to be holding two passports. God bless you too. Marie

You are welcome john! I am not a lawyer, case manager, nor paralegal for that matter. I am not affiliated with any directly or indirectly. You can view my profile to understand why I seem to know a lot about immigration. What the? I am a nurse! And I...

To: mpoova. My apologies for “high jacking” your thread but I’d like to give Ms. ambitious nurse a favor by answering her query. To: ambitious nurse. First off, you only become a permanent resident the moment you enter the US with an immigrant visa a...

Hi! This is one of the reasons why we don’t advice AOS to those who have family members left behind in their home countries in the light of ever present risk of being caught by retrogression. In your case, that’s under the bridge now. First off, the ...
