thanks Greg! I am reading and hearing mixed reviews about consulates giving DTV with another visa in place. I wish you all the best and I hope it works for you!
thanks Gemma! I spoke with a consulate recently that told me my non-O visa and reentry permit must be canceled before they would issue a DTV. In reading all the forums I think this is a hit or miss luck of the draw type of situation. 
sorry James, i’m sure you’re trying to be helpful, but I do not wish to put the specifics in a Facebook forum. I believe I found out the information that I needed to know from an IO earlier, but I appreciate your help.
