YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSS !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

We were approved at the Caracas Embasy on Feb 28 and entered via San Juan on Feb 29 !

Thank You for all your help and support!

I attended the interview and can say they go thru great lenghts to make sure the facts are real ! Also was told they do not rely much on photos as they can be easilly doctored. We were well prepared with three expandable folders with receipts and documentation.

Met two couples there (One K1 and One K3) I don t think they had much luck

Thanks All !!!

OK a stupid question... just trying to recap somethings......

DS 230 Ours was returned during our interview and told we didn t need it.... now I am a little confused because there was a question there about wanting a Social Security card.

How much did everyone pay at the Embassy.... There was a 131 MRV fee... what about the 400 USD Visa Fee?
