The Croatian consulate for Washington residents is in Los Angeles. If she’s still considered a Connecticut resident it’s in DC. Why Canada? Anyone understand this?

I believe it's NY for those in CT. Or at least it was.

Nika is in Seattle. She went to the US Consulate in Vancouver, an hour away, to get her passport back, I assume from the trip to Canada that UConn made this season.

From The Next article I linked on page 1 of this thread:

But her P1 approval, though it came Friday from the United States, required a status change as well, according to the source familiar. That led to a Mühl trip to Canada just to get a status change approved, too. Coincidentally, Monday is Victoria Day in Canada, meaning the earliest that could get approved was Tuesday.

The plan is now for Mühl to get approval Tuesday, get her passport back, return to Seattle Tuesday night and be active Wednesday.
 
General Consul Jim DeHart got his masters at Big East member Georgetown :-)

Looks they went to a lot of trouble to get her a visa for no reason. 15 minutes to go and she hasn't been in.

Gee thanks Seattle for that whopping 2 minutes and 39 seconds of Nika! Interestingly the last time Nika played a Clark team Iowa won by 2 points. Tonight Nika's team won by 2 points. Maybe it could have been more if they let Nika guard Clark more. She did a pretty good job on her in the final four. (No, that is not a serious remark).

After the loud ovation, Nika immediately got Seattle a possession by saving a ball from going out of bounds. The crowd loved it. Nika later on missed an open 3-pointer. She grabbed 2 rebounds, 1 on the offensive end. I don't think she was matched up against Caitlin. I expect she will get more PT soon.

Interestingly, Sami Whitcomb played PG during crunch time. Skylar, who shot 1-10 for the game, was glued to the bench. Jewell started the game very hot, but cooled off as the designated shooter in the last 5 minutes or so. She also missed 2 FTs that would have given Seattle a comfortable lead.

I recall CC burned her a couple times, once on a late closeout to the three and once on a drive. Nika looked pretty good out there though, doing the Nika stuff we've grown to appreciate over the years.

This compelling Croation kid who for a couple years looked she might end up being squeezed out of any significant playing time at UConn, is now in the W, living her dream. Just an awsome story of perseverence, chance and a ton of hard work.

I'll bet many of those standing and applauding her have no real understanding of her journey to get to that moment. So happy for Nika.
