ANthony and G&q give us some good news now??????????????

Well Indigo sent out a chart which showed that Monday was the slowest day in the week for approvals. I for one am glad we are out of Mondays for this week. Rest assured if and when I get my approval it will not be a secret nor will I leave here without checking back as I progress on my journey. Just as Teya checks in and posts here after her approval. If I get mine this week or next I am on a timeline that I predicted earlier and that works for me. I just dont want the NVC to grind out the last bit of faith that I have once they start their work...

I get nervous thinking about government run medicine... When your sick or ill and helpless OMG Scary Movie...

Not to derail from the purpose of this thread but I can tell you that this doesn't have to be.

For one thing, it is certainly not the case in France where public medicine is actually better than the private one. And this is simply because they have no incentive to save money to increase profit. So they don't cut on tests, treatments, etc. They also often have the best equipment. Doctors are free to use any means they feel is appropriate without the financial pressure they have in the private sector.

Because of that they can attract very good doctors, even though they will earn a lot less than in the private sector. Doctors who care more about saving lives than becoming rich.

In private hospitals you get better room service. It's more like being in a hotel than in a hospital, while in many public hospitals the room service is so so. But I'd rather have crappy food and good health care than the opposite.

Just saying. :-)

I hear you and I was sort of kidding when I wrote it. However You could have used another country for an example besides France!!! On a serious note. Most things can be done better or worse than they currently are. I have seen the pros and cons argued before. These are my view which certainly can be disputed to great length. I dont think it really matter much whether its private or public. I think what most important is if $$$ is the primary focus. Thats when things start to fall apart. I know you may think that money is not a focus if the government provided health care well just look at the Military and you can see it does. You can also see that at least in this country government does not do things in a cost effective manner.

With regards to Doctors qualification and value... Practitioner does come to mind and they do charge you whether what they do works or not. Hummmm My hats are off to them for what they do but they take and get much more credit than they deserve. In many countries they are not looked at as highly as they are in the US. Of course lawyers play their role as well as people who are willing to sue someone at the drop of a hat.

What else did you expect from a French? :-D

I agree. And obviously if the government doesn't fund public hospitals properly they won't be able to provide good service.

Indeed. However, there is something about doctors (and lawyers for that matter) that I haven't seen elsewhere. For some reason they are considered as being entitled to earn a lot more money than anybody else. I don't know where that comes from.

For instance in France (yes, again :-) doctors typically live well they aren't rich.

Congrats wasmah

Hey gang, I mentioned earlier that our case was touched on July 14, our NOA1 is April 2nd, I've seen it referred to a couple of times so...to note a couple of points with my case:

-Hubby is active duty military and asked for our case to be expedited. Well, unless the touch of July 14 was NOA2 on its way, I think we're no faster than the rest.

-Also, darling hubby is deployed and can't check his post box, since it looks like USCIS isn't sending email notifications right now the NOA2 may well be sitting in his post box, and won't be discovered until hubby returns! Kind of sad irony that one.

I'll definitely keep y'all updated but unless USCIS sends hubby an email, our hands are tied I guess until he gets home. Unless I can call USCIS and ask them? Can I DO that?

Cheers,

Jess

Jess, you can call them and see what they say. The automated system might tell you that your case was approved or that your case was received on such and such a date. The USCIS operators like to tell you that they can't tell you much as the beneficiary but I'm sure if you tell them that your husband is deployed, they should be able to help you out. .
