hi, i have a question. will the incomplete vaccination(i was not given MMR shot and will come back after a month) affect the release of the visa? i'm scheduled for interview in a about a week's time.

anybody out there whose interview was rescheduled? how long did it take to get another interview? i was supposed to be interviewed last nov2 2005 but rescheduled it to complete my documents. have writtten the us embassy some 7 weeks ago that I've already got the necessary documents but until now I'm still waiting for that interview.

this one's a good news... http://www.murthy.com/nflash/nf_050405.html

I'm from Manila and still waiting for the I140 which was filed on NSC(now the slowest processing center) to be approved.

rep, one good representative has just submitted a bill. Bill targets RN visa processing problem January 05, 2005 To help relieve the nation's nursing shortage, Rep. Tom Lantos, D-CA, yesterday introduced an AHA-supported bill that would allow U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services to reassign to qualified nurses from the Philippines, India and China unused worker visas allotted to other countries. The State Department recently announced it would no longer issue employment-based visas for workers in countries that have exceeded their annual quota for green cards, currently the Philippines, India and China. Lantos said his Health Improvement and Professionals Act would ensure that "we are putting to full use the number of workers' visas currently allowed by law, in order to fulfill a crucial and exponentially increasing health care worker shortage." For more on the bill, H.R. 139, visit http://thomas.loc.gov/bss/d109query.html.

Hope that aha's voice be heard by the congress or the senate. http://www.aha.org/aha/advocacy-grassroots/advocacy/hillletters/2005/050104hl_nurseimmi.html
