Hey everybody

Hope all are doing well!

I emailed embassy again last night and wondered if there was any earlier date available.

They now have finally agreed to give me a shot and asked me to send a signed written request with valid reasons for an early date. What could these reasons be?

Please help me out here. I hope this means they will try to change the date.

It seems like it.

Hopefully.

Thanks in advance!

I suggest 3 things...

1.. check the waiver forum see if any of those things apply for you. I know you dont need a waiver

but its just for ideas. not all reasons have to be medical..:)

2.. talk to your attorney for ideas..

3.. talk to you congressman and/ or sentator for ideas.

good luck..

buy some Pre - Paid legal insurance.

you will have UNLIMITED consultations on the phone with an attorney

its like 26.00 per month. if you have a question" like this" you can get advise. :huh:

I have been a member for going on 4 years. I have never been happier.

a normaly consult is roughly 75-150.00 per 30 min consult.

as a membe you get UNLIMITED as long as you want. if you ask a question sometimes you will

get confrenced in with other attorneys.
