HELLO all !!!

Here is a little Update for the ones that follow our case!

Santiago is gathering documents to send to his brohter in Mexico ,so that he can get the antecedentes needed for us to finally get the visa in hand!!! :dance:

He had to get fingerprints, birth certificate, Certificado domiciliario, ID copy, passport copy and pictures all of this had to be legalized by the ministerio del exterior and then leaglized by hte mexico embassy and then has to be send thru DHL to his brother for him to do it, it takes a day and then he will send it to us for us to send it to the embassy with his passport to finally get his visa!!!!!!!!

One more bump, its a long holiday weekend in lima and everything is closed so he will have to wait til monday to legalize what he needs to!

But its OK we just need patience and we are in not much rush to get it, they didnt give us a timeline so as long as we get the visa by april 15 we are good to go !!!!!!

Good luck in your journey and thanks for all of ur kind thoughts!!!

Well you guys aren't the only ones with "bumps" in the process. Ricardo went to the interview in Panama on Monday, March 10, but since he was missing his Record Policivo and Certificado de Solteria (apparently in Panama that takes forever to get) they told him to come back to drop off his paperwork and his passport when everything was ready. He filed to get his Record policivo on Feb 28.......they gave it to him on March 18........anyways the thing is He got everything and dropped it off yesterday morning. they told him that the cosul has to have the last look and that they'll call him to tell him to pick up his passport. of course they didn't tell him if he was getting the Visa or not, but we are very positivie b/c Ricardo kicked butt on that interview, and we gave them so many pics and evidence it's ridiculous LoL. So I know what it's like guys, we're all in this together. This is a long weekend in Panama too and apparently the embassy down there also takes panamanian holidays in addition to the gringo holidays off. I'm just praying and I have a really good feeling about everything. we are officially done! nothing else to turn in! lol, God Bless ;)

We're in the same boat. My fiance rocked the interview but they wanted some other stuff from us before they give us the visa. So, we are scheduled to go back on June 2nd :wacko: which is OK.

Good luck to all of us waiting :)

Bueno, we have to hang in there, we are so close and yet inches away!! hopefully we'll here something by next week, hopefully by wed which is Ricardo's B-day, what a nice b-day present huh? LoL....also, at least the person who interviewd you expressed emotion, the person who interviewed my fiance didn't tell him anything, she asked him one question after another. And He even told her that I was there with him, she didn't even look at me.....imagine that, but I guess the worst is over all we have to do is wait, which is something all of us are experts at doing now LoL suerte a todos! ;)
