If you have any suggestions, don't be shy!

Didn't we already do a ds-156? Does she need a ds-157?

 

 

to those who have helped, thanks much.

 

To those few I have been able to help, hope it assisted....

There were some rumors floating around saying that GZ might be closed in June and you have just proved it's NOT true.

You will not need a DS-156 or 157 for the interview. Copying what Tony had recently posted in another thread (I am also going to post it in the Links and Resources):
