I'm so messed up all day yesterday I thought it was Friday April 2nd. Was wondering why no more interviews or CC's. Lord have mercy. Weekends. Mess me up man.

25 days. Lord help me make it. :clock:

I pray that the Lord will continue to strengthen you. I don't know how you do it. To find time for your own process and be able to help us out here. Thank you! I wish you the best.

Dear VJ family, please if you can, we could use all the prayers and positive energy we can get! Tomorrow is the big day, interview at 10am, we are leaving here shortly for our hotel room! Congrats to everyone, and best of luck on these upcoming weeks XOXO

Err General question pls..how long is the medical exam results valid?

Mediacal is valid for 6 months, it will expire your visa if you do not enter USA within 6 months of medical exam.

For this reason is recommended to obtain medical exam as close as possible to interview day.
