January filers VSC lottery, who gets the jackpot next?

[Joe & Bella 1]

Just a quick update..

We got Bella second interview for today.. She arrived at the embassy this morning and turned over the addition documents they requested.. They then asked for the passports.. She thought the embassy had kept them from the first interview.. She was told they returned them to her.. Well long story short, she wasn't aware the passports were in with all the other and original documents from the first interview at her house ... arrggg

They told her to come back tomorrow morning with the passports.. She asked if her visa was approved, and was told maybe.. She asked again.. they told her it was a very maybe.. unreal!

When she called me today she wasn't sure if she should be excited or continue crying.. I told her to relax, I love her very much.. Mistakes happen.. We'll get through this and one day look back and laugh about it.. I then went on to tell her how very proud I am of her for dealing with all the B.S. she has had to endure between all the different Colombian agencies and now the embassy.. She has done a amazing job..

I don't remember if I had mentioned it earlier, but for the past 3 months Bella and her daughter have been going through the hell they call the medical system of Colombia.. The same day of the interview, her daughter was getting the results of her biopsy. the results came back as inconclusive for breast cancer.. Her daughter will now be going to surgery June 5th. We had planned for Bella to come here over the Memorial day weekend.. But now we need to postpone this also..

I will be flying down to get them and bring them here.. She has never flown or been outside of Bogota.. I just went online to look the airfare, but two weeks later.. Tickets are over $230 dollars apiece more, times 5 people..

I can't wait till we are all together again.. I want to go to a nice restaurant raise a glass.. and a giant WooHoo.. everyone is healthy, We are all home here together.. And all is well.. I can't imagine AOS will be any tougher than all this..

Joe, I am praying that you and Bella get this resolved soon!

[Alex & Rachel 78]

Joe, I am sorry to hear your news. Hopefully they can issue the visa tomorrow. As for Bella's daughter's surgery, I hope that they are able to come to a conclusion and that she doesn't have breast cancer.

I am hoping you can be reunited as soon as is possible and I am sure you are right; at least with AOS you will be together.

This morning Bella went to the embassy at 9.. Turned over the passports.. After hour, she was called to the window..

She was told she was approved , go pay Domesa !!!

Bella and the twins called me all excited.. Finally, what a relief..

The strange thing that happened was the embassy kept the original birth certificates and baptismal certificates and the certified translations.. She asked to have them returned and was told it is better she go get all new documents.. Do they have any idea how difficult it was to obtain the documents to begin with.. geesh..

Thank you again for your prayers and well wishes.. We are much appreciative.. We wish everyone much success and a much easier road than we had..
