My I-130 was approved for my wife who is Panamanian living in panama. She went for her interview last week and after

the interview they asked for some more paperworkl. My tax papers for 2007, some plane ticket receipts and some phone bills.

We have been married for over a year. Anyway the next day she returned to the Embassy and brought them the additional

paperwork. The kept her passport and said they would call her. After 4 days they called her and told her that I have to be

at the US Embassy in Panama on July 2.

Has this happen to anyone else?

I have to take off work and go to the US Embassy in Panama for an interview. I am a US Citizen

We've seen a lot of this is Central and South America. They are doubting your bona fides. Just go and be yourself. Relax and get the visa approved.

I went to the my interview at the Panama Embassy at their request. They interviewed my wife and I individually in a private room asking each of us the same questions. Some of questions were: What is her favorite food. What does she like on her pizza. How did you propose and how did you ask. After the interview her VISA was Approved.
