so sad but we all are waiting and hoping for the best...

very well said!!!!! you are absolutely correct!!!!... i miss manila so much and i miss my former officemates in my former job........ well we cannot always have the best of both worlds......

i think being married has nothing to do with it... becasue the people i told in my previous message here are all married with kids... don't worry i am praying that well all get our EADs... JONRNMD, were you ablt to get your SS already? mine arrived yesterday...

you are right... luck is an important ingredient.. two of my friends filed they documents at the same time last august 30, the other one already recieved his green card, the other one is still waiting... same center though... mine was filed last sept 29 and was already fionger printed last october 19... well i guess it has something to do with my bday... oct 19 was my bday.. .hehehehe... JOHNMD is right... luck has something to do with it... or shall i say... those who are lucky pray harder than us....

wwwoooowwww... please take nclex-rn ....

yyyeaaahhhh the (SUSO) snails... where are they???????

hehehehe nothing to spend much i am contented with ROSS and MARSHALLs..... hehehehehehe... trying to lose some of excess wghts though.... and i dont find it EEAAAAAAASSSSYYYYY :idea: :angryfire

ohhh not yet coz i am waiting for my SS number... although i had my initial orientation already... i am scheduled to start on the 13th coz i am expecting to receive my ss this week..... how about you?

what kind of mail did you use? EMS is a lot faster... there is no problem with mails coming oout of the philippines.... mails coming inare usually the problem... especially if you used EMS philippines... it has a tracking number and there is a designated number where you can inquire for data such as, who received your letter, what time and date...

it is not necessary to have trainings back home... when i was interviewed for my employment last Sept 4, the intervieweer asked me: "what is the biggest obstacle you think you will face as you practivenursing here?"... My answer was: "i think its the lackof experience in this profession.." the interviewer replied: "that is your asset. because it is better to train people that to untrain them." i am just sharing my experience, and i know this is not the general glimpse of what reality is...... but then again, with the on going retrogression, there is no point missing opportunity to train back home. Goodluck to everyone....

patience is a virtue... don't worry it will come...

it will be fast... 1 month or lesser
