Guest guest Posted September 21, 2005 Report Share Posted September 21, 2005 Thanks soo much for your help. I have been putting off my visa application for nearly 2 years and think I came across the $170 Application for waiver before but was doubtful about filling it in as I wondered if it would be a rip off and that they still could refuse me. I've had tons of vax in the past but have now decided enough is enough. Plus of course I'm breastfeeding. I wonder if it will go in my favour or against when they see that I have already had most of the jabs but not a few. Guess I'll find out over the next couple of months. thanks again for getting all this info together for me Sherri.
