Greetings! I am confused, as your title said with an expired visa, to avoid future hassles in dealing with the immigration. I highly recommend renewing her passport if it is the passport while in the USA.

Greetings! Please read the links about overstaying. reference: Overstaying Visa In The US: Find Out Its Consequences (visapro.com) and this site as well: What to Do if You Overstay Your USA Tourist Visa - MaiTravelSite

Does this mean that your husband's nursing credentials were already evaluated by CGFNS because you mentioned that he passed his NCLEX exam? reference: 8 Steps To Work As a Nurse in the U.S. as a Foreign Nurse

Greetings! But isn't that once you submitted those documents you can no longer open CEAC online? If I am not mistaken you will only bring those new and current documents during your interview, unless the Consul will ask you to upload on CEAC which they will be the only one who can open it for you once there at the embassy.

Greetings! I apologize, your spouse is not needed during the interview. I skipped the word not. " it's not a joint 751 interview as that was already approved". Anyways, if he is needed. I guess it is just for moral support side and just in case there is a something to be verified. Goodluck! NG

Greetings! But isn't that the best needed is his presence during this interview? BG

I don't understand.

Greetings! Just my two cents. So, it is very simple, if you have contacted the Korean Embassy and they say that she does not have to have it, because she was just a tourist then request for an official letter of what they just said to prove your case about this matter, then in one letter, write an explanation and attached that official letter, if not, try to apply, I think they will need a passport ,so if they could not find her name on their criminal data base, then the result will still be no criminal record. Kind regards, NG reference: South Korea (state.gov) Police/Prison Records Available Fees: There are no fees. Document Name: For Korean national applicants: Criminal (Investigation) Records Check Reply ‘For permission of foreign country immigration and stay’ “Bomjoi-Soosakyongryeok Hoiboseo: Waekuk Yipkuk-Chaeryu Heogayong” For Foreign national applicants: Criminal Records Certificate “Bomjoikyungryeokjeungmyungseo” Issuing Authority: It is issued at any local police station in Korea.

Greetings! I am not an expert, but when you have an interview, just bring whatever you got that you think might be ask, so that you do not have to go back and forth. if it is related then take it along with you. NG Ex, if your police clearance is about to expire then have a new one ready. If you have your latest tax transcripts, have it ready too. I am sure they that will not ask something that was not listed in the requirements. Goodluck, NG

Greetings! Just my opinion. Did you mean that all documents were sent to NVC, accepted, reviewed, approved and completed? Meaning that he is documentarily qualified and that he is ready for interview? Since he lost his translated birth certificate, was he asked to submit a new one through CEAC? or to bring it during his interview? Most of the time you just have to bring that new translated birth certificate during the interview, and if the Consul will ask you to download or change anything, they will open it for you and have to change or upload it, as those are final unless it was instructed, just make sure that the translated one is the same as the one that you submitted earlier to NVC. Best of luck, NG

Thank you for sharing, I actually wanted to message you about something regarding SS and Medicare, if it's okay to shoot a message, Thanks, NG

sorry for the typos above.

Greetings! I think the preparation alone will take time. Sone things to be considered are the following: 1. High School transcripts needed to be evaluated with any member of NACES. 2. And then there is a question of why not finish high school back home and start college in the USA? some do this to avoid taking the English test requirement, but not applicable to all school. 3. Most of the school will require the English test BCLS. If she has no problem in English that she will be fine with the results as some schools are specific wit what score that they wanted to accept. 4. Then the admission test, 5. If she finishes high school back home, then she will definitely have all her school credentials evaluated depending upon what the school requirement is asking for its admission. This is a must and the number one requirement needed from the admission, which means get more copies and apply as many schools that you like as you will never know who will accept her. 6. I am pretty sure that she must finish her undergraduate first (bachelor's degree), then in addition, she must have a doctoral degree which is another four years plus training before even applying to be a pharmacist. 7. The money involve is high and the hard work as well, but if she can do it and you guys can afford, why not? 8. Most of the school is tuition is very high especially for international students and must have money to show that you can afford to stay and pay the tuition fees. 9. As you can see below that even nursing applicant must have a score of at least 83 for the English test while other courses is only 69. which is mind boggling. Well this will also depend upon what school that you are applying to enter. 10. I say let her finish high school back home and as soon as she finishes, have her transcripts evaluated here in the USA (must be from an accredited evaluator) and whilst waiting let her take BCLS test, and apply to as many schools as she can. EXAMPLE: This is the expected school tuition fees of one of the school here in Michigan. reference: Cost and aid | Admissions | Michigan State University (msu.edu) A. IN-STATE FRESHMEN Tuition and fees: $14,914 Room and board: $10,676 ________________________________ Total for two semesters: $25,590 B. OUT-OF-STATE FRESHMEN Tuition and fees: $40,726 Room and board: $10,676 ________________________________ Total for two semesters: $51,402 C. The totals below reflect expenses included in the undergraduate financial proof requirements for MSU to issue an I-20. The cost for room and board includes the three weeks between fall and spring semesters. Tuition and fees: $42,226 Room and board: $12,278 Books and supplies: $1,168 Personal/miscellaneous: $3,950 Medical: $2,118 ________________________________ Total for two semesters: $61,740 NOTE: So, imagine how much it will cost for an international student. How Much is the tuition for 4 years at MSU? For the students who were admitted in Fall 2022, the estimated tuition for 4 years is $57,015 for Michigan residents and $162,693 for out-of-state students.
