Darnell, you are not the only one that has been trying... sometimes you just gotta give up trying to help and put the energy on someone who appreciates it!

Yup. some humans touch the casefile, as well, in the mailroom and scanning desks.

Good news on our front. We accepted an offer on our house last night. :) Although it feels like the visa process as the next step is property inspection.

Good luck! Selling a house sucks! I hate doing it!

Almost! When I started my pharm degree, one only needed a bachelor's, but it changed about 1998. Now the requirements are an associate in humanities, 2 years in chemistry and biology, and 3 years for the Dr. at the beginning of the name. For those who only had the Bachelor's, and people like me, that like to drag their feet, they have a 'bridge' to finish the PharmD.

I had a Regents in Applied Science of Paramedicine already, finished my bachelor's in Chemestitry. All the other previous Univeristy credits, from where I messed around for a few years not knowing what I wanted to do after high school, made up the 'bridge'. Now I have to take the one year of residency. Once that's done I will be Dr. Sheeshkabelle PharmD! In the mean time, I am a highly over educated Certified Pharmacy Tech. :lol:

There's nothing wrong in not knowing what you want to do, the good thing is now you do know what that is and you'll just have to be an underpaid over educated Tech for a while

Thanks, looks like I got more homework!. Yes, I will do EP. Do you know if PDF 300 dpi is good enough (shrink my 100 pages' doc to less than 10MB)?

Still no interview date for me and my wife. Every time I call they keep on telling me they are done scheduling for May. I told the lady today how is it that Kyiv is still handing out interviews to K1 filers for May 8-15 and yet we who are already married, have to "wait until May 14" to get scheduled for June :angry: I just don't think that this is fair to us all who are ALREADY married. I am not taking anything away from K1 filers, but I would think and hope that couples who are married would have some sort of preference over couples that MIGHT get married. :help:

On top of that, they are able to schedule themselves an interview date, while we have to go through NVC :angry::bonk:

Thanks Darnell!. Looking at http://www.visajourney.com/forums/topic/267559-usa-is-now-arizona/page__st__75, it seems I shall email "Evidence of Bona Fide Marriage" (110 pages, a softcover book made in Kinko) as PDF attachment when submitting DS-230. Shall I email in advance or just let my have it in interviewing?

The issue here, if NVC submitted Bona Fide stuff to GuangZhou, and at the same time GuangZhou got my own submission, will GuangZhou get confused as for which one to use?
