hi captainjeff228! I assume you already have your plane tickets to USA. Where did you purchased it? Don't worry with the interview, as long as she has all the documents and the fact that you are coming with her on the interview is a very good factor. God answers prayers! God bless us all!!!

Thanks for the reply Tim! So far, the cheapest we found is from PAL. It's kind of difficult for my fiance to get a roundtrip wherein the return should be the same as mine. Though I've seen that Stibnite has done it and a few others. BTW, just keep on praying coz God works miracles. God bless us all!!!

I was lucky with mine because I found a return flight together to BOI. I had to agree to a 7 hour lay over in Portland but it is okay we will be waiting together. God willing. I am praying so hard that my Baby's medical is released so our interview can go as planned. Her sister is marring my best friend and they went together to there medical. On her sisters x-ray they saw something suspicious so they are holding my Baby's medical for the result of her sisters first three days Sputum Test.

God bless us all

hi captain jeff!

I can understand her anxiety but as long as she has her medical & immunization records with her, everything will be fine...The SLEC staff are very polite and nice. It's a good thing her sister is accompanying her at SLEC coz the hardest part of doing the medical at SLEC is the waiting for the release of your results..

I just finished mine earlier (2nd day medical for immunizations and results realeasing) ...i got there at 6:30 am and i got called for my immunization at 9am (i only had MMR) and my results were released at 1pm...i waited 4 hours at the releasing area (granted that i could have gone out of the clinic to eat but i did not want to miss my name being called).

I hope her experience would be better since i dont think she will be given any vaccinations given her present situation...

Goodluck and God bless!

P.S.

By the way you should tell ur fiance to look for her chicken pox scars and immunizations marks on her body...doctors looked for it, hehe!
