For the Family-Based Visa Bulletin, if I am from El Salvador, what category do I belong in, i.e., Mexico, All Charge- ability Areas Except Those Listed, CHINA-mainland born, etc.?

so we went on june 19 as told and right then unexpectedly we went through finger printing, they scan through the documents and had the interview. i passed the cspa computation. thank you lord!

then we were told by the kind hearted consul to submit the medical and some documents from our petitioner. we got it all done and submitted by june 26th.

it`s been 2 weeks already but we havent gotten a respond. iv texted the delbros hotline but they havent received anything from the embassy.

whats likely to happen now? i thought it would be just days then voila here comes the visa, but it hasnt come yet. we should just be patient about it and continue to pray for it.

Hi John…my PD is July06. I am one of those anticipating good news come Sept-Oct BV. While waiting, I had applied in Vermont so I can take NCLEX hopefully before the year ends. It’s better to take a move ahead before hearing from the Consul reasons for holding issuance of our visa come our turn soon.
GOD BLess us all…More power John!
Thanks for this forum:)

My PD is January 10th 2003. My lawyer Korenberg is currently in trouble. His cases are under investigation though the alligations are against him are due to the employees he hired for his firm. I am thinking of changing my lawyer. I am under E3 category and filed my I485 in May 2007. I got my work authirization in August 2007 for one year. Please someone please let me know your views. I am very upset about the situation. Other lawyers in his firm are not at all helpful.
