Captain, assuming you have been through the E3 process already and have already been approved? The jury still seems to bee out on the whole degree/12 year requirement with some people being knocked back and others having no issues. Just wondering which consulate you went to for your interview and if you could give a bit of info on the line of questioning. Was going to PM you but thought it might be more helpful for others on here who might be wondering the same thing. Cheers
