The prospect of E3 category PD dates moving forward more this fiscal year seems to be bright.Please look at the table below: VB Date PD October 2004 Current October 2005 March 1, 2001 October 2006 ...

hi Hug ME, Best to continue your plan to have your dependents with you on your interview.As long as you have listed them (either accompanying or ftj) in your DS230 that you submitted to NVC, it is going to be just fine. If they will be accompanying y...

HUG ME, Go to the link that I gave to JOhn83. You will find all the answers there. And you can find there actual experiences of people who really did go thru FTJ process and that includes me. Just remember this: Even if you only paid for your visa fe...

Lawrence01, This part of your post. "An I-140 (the job petition) will not be approved by USCIS w/o any of those." I was trying to clarify this from you alone that is why I addressed it to you. But from your last post I am clear about it. Guys so sorr...

Suzanne4, Sorry for not making my post not very clear and complete. I should have written that they are already in the US as LPRs and passed both CGFNS and NCLEX before they had their embassy interview and their visas issued. It is only that their I-...

Lawrence01, Are you absolutely sure that passing of NCLEX is required for approval of I-140? I personally know lots of nurses who are already in the US whose I-140 were approved eventhough they have not passed the NCLEX. But they were informed they h...

E3 is unavailable now but the VB also mentioned that dates will be back as of June VB on October. That is only 4 months from now. Think of it, PD of March 2006 at the beginning of the fiscal year with a fresh quota for the whole fiscal year. As of th...

Another Hammond blogger, Mharz, already has an interview date at the US Embassy on June 3. She mentioned that last 2006, she and her hubby already had an interview date but they were unable to have it because she gave birth the day before the day of ...

I am a professional civil engineer and currently on my third year as a nursing stude here in ther Philippines. My wife is a nurse in Florida and I plan to be a CNA when I get there if i dont finish nursing here but I would definitely come back to fin...

leis23, the manila us embassy link to inquire for interview date is still there. go to consular & visa services and look for immigrant visa appointments and click it. look for the highlighted link : click here and check for your case number

Reign 5, I would also like to add that even if you gave birth prior to your embassy interview, you and your dependents including the newly-born will be given a visa. You can add dependents even at the time of your interview. You just have to accompli...

To sabadao22, Lawrence is right.No ned to worry about it since this CIR is not yet a law and certainly expectedly to be undergoing changes from its current form.In fact there are already 100+ amendments introduced by other senators.But this bill is s...

The proposed Merit Based system is not really a problem for nurses.The current immigration requirements have all those in order for a nurse to qualify. The sad thing is that ALL(including NURSES) who are currently waiting in line for a visa will be o...

90,000 visas every year under the proposed law for EB1toEB3 is way down from the 120,120 visas under the current law.If passed, this law will not help retrogression at all but will only worsen it.I think the countries that will be hit hard by this ar...

Josie1 is right.It all depends on your relationship with your agency.If you know them well enough(by research and communicating with other nurses they have sent to the US) and trust them then I think its just alright to give it to them.Besides, if yo...

Past proposals for uncapped Sched A visas also includes the condition that this will only be for a certain period of time (2017) or until the Department of Labor continues to certify Sched A occupations as one of the shortage occupations.The DOL can ...

MNL number is your case number.You use this number to refer to your immigrant visa petition in paying for visa fees and communications/inquiries regarding your petition and to check the Embassy website for the scheduled date of your medical check-up ...

Dear Macedonia the Great, Thanks for your reply. Does it mean that anyone who is already "Documentarily Qualified" and with a current Priority Date is just waiting for the notification for consular interview?

Dear Suzanne, You seem to be knowledgable about all these things.I would just like to ask what "Documentarily Qualified" means in US immigration terms? Thank you.

Congratulations to those whose PD's are already current!! Just a question: How long will it take for a consular interview to be scheduled if one is already "Documentarily Qualified"(as per the US Embassy) and PD is already current? Thanks!!

Miss f, You can add your new born child in a new DS230 even at the time of your consular interview.If you are still pregnant at the time of the interview, there is no way that the embassy will not allow you to bring your unborn baby with you.:chuckle...

I knew of two nurses who married their long time bf a couple of months before they were interviewed by the embassy.The important thing is you have a marriage contract on NSO paper and the husband is included on the DS230 as accompanying or to follow ...

pinkvanilla, One other factor to consider is the cost of living for that State. You can also form a group with your recruitment batch mates if you have already signed in for a particular hospital.Some sort of support group to help each other out when...
