0 - ArchivalUser - 09-30-2008 Minnie: Went through UW MCQ round 1 last week. Reviewing FA and Crush right now. What review materials are you using? What have you finished so far? Still have to study for CCS. My exam is on Oct 28-29 in Seattle. 0 - ArchivalUser - 09-30-2008 Yan talagang ECFMG reporter na yan... =P Got an IV from Lincoln Med (IM), January na ang interview dates... 0 - ArchivalUser - 09-30-2008 dareve, saan ka sa seattle? 0 - ArchivalUser - 09-30-2008 Darevee: @Xthine Can you please share your experience re visa extension? How long did it take you to process and what reason did you put in for the request? Any idea if its hard to get approval or not? Thanks! -- Hi! How many months did they give you at your POE? In my case I was given 3 months originally on a single entry visa so I felt I needed to extend. It took about 4 months for the USCIS to grant my request for an extension. The reason I gave was so that I could take Step 3 while I was in the US..unfortunately they did not give me enough time for me take Step 3. As for how hard it is to get approved, I have no idea. I know someone who had the same reason for extending as I did, but her request was denied. 0 - ArchivalUser - 09-30-2008 To beezmd: I also got Iv from lincoln last wk pa pero ndi na daw available yung slot na pinili ko for december kaya january ko na napasked IV. Anyway, ndi naman sila nagbibigay ng prematch kaya ok lng siguro na january. Good luck. 0 - ArchivalUser - 09-30-2008 @long_journey I'm staying in Kirkland, one bus ride from downtown Seattle. Are you staying in the area? @xthine Thanks! They gave me 6 mos. I arrived June to take my CS. My validity ends on Dec 18... parang kulang yata ang time for interviews (wishful thinking I know considering that I only have 1 IV right now hehe). But is the rumor true that once your request is denied, ma negate na daw ang multiple entry visa mo? I didnt see this in the USCIS but I heard it from several ppl in the forums. Will see if I get more IVs next month before I apply... 0 - ArchivalUser - 10-01-2008 doc_harry: January is actually ok with me. =) I heard that programs which offer prematches are not really that good but I don't know how true that is... 0 - ArchivalUser - 10-01-2008 bludragon naka tawag ka ba sa metropolitan hops for iv schedule? 0 - ArchivalUser - 10-01-2008 rejection u conn 0 - ArchivalUser - 10-01-2008 @gsdoc2000: which program? IM? |
