my interview experience was different but very nice one. first the consul reviewed our docs, fingers printed, and asked us to sit for a while, when we came back the consul asked few questions, then asked us to raise our right hand for sworn statement, signed backside of ds230 and sent us to pay the courier. they gave us copies of medicals in big brown envelope. the consul officers were so very kind, friendly with good sense of humour...
one thing i want to share to other iv applicants, please make sure that you have "unconditional job offer" letter/contract from your employer. the us consul required my employer to "rephrase" my contract and fax it asap prior to releasing our visas by next week...

It would be much appreciated if you could give us exactly what the consul wanted to be re-phrased and how did your employer go about it and what was the new statement given to the satisfaction of the the consul. Thanks.
Just to give you an idea about statement written on the job offer letter:...
"This employment is conditional upon you passing the NCLEX no later than 6 months after being credentialed by the California State Nursing Board, failing which BETHEL HOSPITAL shall have the unilateral right of option of terminating this offer of employment"...
Hope you got a clue on this...

i am so happy for you!
when did you have your interview? you mean you still have not got the visa?
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!
to give you my time line:
feb 2005 -nclex taken in london
jun 2005 -ielts taken
jul 2005 -i-140 started calif service center (p.d.)
jan 2006 -i-140 transfered to tx due to backlog
apr 2006 -i-140 approved (sooo long wait)

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.
