		<description>Hello fellow nurses, with this forum I got an idea to ask the status of my pending petition at the NVC, that is why last week I e-mailed NVC and asked the status of my petition..After few days I received their reply...And this is their reply

 
&quot;We are forwarding a duplicate DS-3032 (Choice of Agent and Address) form, as the form received at the NVC is invalid. The Choice of Agent form must be completed before we can continue processing. Please complete and sign this form, which is being sent to you in a separate envelope, and send it to this office.&quot;

I am a little bit shocked And nervous about their reply, because as far as I remember before I submitted the form to my agency, I completely and appropriately filled the required form in the DS- 3032...And why I am being ask again to complete and sign this form???...  My pds is on june06, and i am nervous that this would prolong my petition... Guys do you have any idea with this matter?? or does any one of you already experienced this case??? thank you very much...Your response will be highly appreciated......</description>

		<description>What if my Visa screen is expired for a year, do I have to file an initial certificate or just the renewal? My English test is still current. Is there any chance that the issuance of the certificate be expidited if an appointment date for interview is a month away?</description>

		<description>Hello Elma,

I&#039;m so sorry for this late reply. I would suggest going back to your college or university to inquire about possible job postings, or checking the Philippines Overseas Employment Administration to check if there are any hirings. Key to getting hired is getting the appropriate, qualifying examinations. Now would be a good time to work on those requirements. Good luck.</description>

		<description>Hello Gary,

You may give a copy of your VCVC to your immigration lawyer as it is part of the supporting documentation for your pathway to citizenship in the US. Congratulations.</description>

		<description>Maria Melissa,

Are you an OTR or a nurse? If your Visa Screen is not expiring yet, you need to send a formal letter of request for correction to ICHP to let them know about this error. If your Visa Screen is about to expire and you are about to renew, make sure you fill out the form properly (NOTE: Item #3)of this link: http://www.cgfns.org/files/pdf/apps/VisaScreenReApp.pdf

I hope this helps. Let me know how else I can help you.

Good luck,

Iris</description>

		<description>Hello Imee,

I forgot to mention that each state has a different ways of performing the credentialling process for each profession. Consider the state rules and regulations for your profession in the state of your entry. If you are going to work as a pharmacist in Delaware, check the regulations for credentialling in the state of Delaware. Also, it will help if you are guided properly by an immigration lawyer to prepare your documents for you.</description>

		<description>Hello Imee,

I&#039;m so sorry I did not see this one sooner. Are you already in the US? The Visa Screen is required for those foreign workers already in the US. For OTs like me, they are required within a year after passing the NBCOT Examinations. My suggestion is, do not apply for it until it is asked for. The Visa Screen is part of your required documents to maintain your immigration status once you pass your test and begin working in the US.

Best of luck!
