18 Days to K1 Interview in Bogota

[kennym 275]

In 18 Days, we'll know about our k1 Visa.. It's been a long journey of developing our relationship and then waiting for the Visa... Nov 2010 will be 4 years since I first met My Fiancee.. Without getting to mushy. We love each other and have become very close and soon we will start our next chapter in our new life together...

The Visa Interview is 18 days away.. I am anxious to know the outcome, it's a major milestone for our visa journey. I am excited and anxious, but nervous as can be...

Once again, I'm asking for the help from everyones experiences.. I've been burried in paperwork and documents, and my brain is somewhat fuzzy.. I am setting here today on one of the rare days that I am home, and rather than catching up on my expense reports, I am going over my checklist over and over and over...

I really am scared to death.. If I've missed anything or get to Bogota on the Day of the interview and suddenly realize that a critical document has been completely overlooked, I cant say how devestating that would be for the two of us.

If any of you can review my list below and comment on anything I need to add or emphasize, it would make me feel much more at ease..

I don't want to sound mushy, but I love all the help the I've recieved here form VJ.. thanks for your help with this as well... Seriously, Thanks for everyone's help!!

Looks good. I think you will be OK. Just don't forget to have cash with you in order to pay for Domesa. One more thing, Bogota is very cold these days. And be ready for a probably long wait. Good luck.
