Yes, that's what she keeps telling me, that it is a cultural thing. Down in South America, everyone is so used to running into problems whenever they try to get anything done, so you begin to expect that there will be problems.

And, yes, the proxy thing is the same for Peru. I think she is just worrying too much. He already got the first police certificate, although now he has to go get another copy. And he and her brother are working on the other two. Even they keep telling her not to worry. If they have problems, they tell her "they have friends" in the police department that can help for the right price. But this just makes her worry more. But soon it will all be over and we will be together and we can relax.

I guess that in South America we are so used to doing things on our own and worrying about everything that that's the way we ALWAYS handle situations. My husband says I am bossy and very very organized. I mean, I am an Executive Assistant, Brazilian and a Virgo... what did he expect?! lol

Ai... well, I know for a fact that it will be ok! Tell her I told her not to worry! There's always someone (the black market) who can help! hahahaha

Ok, I just got off of the phone with the NVC. They received my I-129F yesterday. and gave me the new case number.

But they have not received my I-130 yet. I hope that the CSC did send my I-130 to NVC so I can pursue both routes.

I didn't ask about I-130 as I am not interested in going the CR1 route, they didn't mention anything about it either.

They said Paris embassy should receive it in 2-4 weeks yay im so excited

Actually, from what I have been seeing. But I have been tracking South America, the average is 5 to 6 days to arrive at the embassy after the NVC receives it.

Yeah, yeah. Just called Rio. Nothing yet! Geez... She told me that I would be receiving a package with instructions. But I know about A LOT of ppl who NEVER got their packet 3. Humpf....

She said "It takes 2-4 weeks to get here in Rio"... but I know that usually it takes a week for the process to arrive down here. I just need an interview date, how hard is that?!

Also I found out that the spouse has to make more than US$ 17.000,00 a year to be able to support you. For K3 you should fill out the I-134 (Affidavit of Support!). YAY!

Steve, try calling again tomorrow. They only had my I129F one day after they got my I130! I don't know why though!

We are almost there guys!

Renatchi,

There is a way to track to the embassy. Go to the DHL website. http://track.dhl-usa.com/TrackByRef.asp?nav=TrackByRef . You need to put in a reference number with a date. It is the day before your package left the NVC, because that is when it is called in. So for you it is - EXP 30 may 2008a . It is the 30th of may because the 30th was a friday and the 2nd was a monday. Then you click on track. Then it shows all of the packages that were sent out that day and the delivery status. There is one that was shipped to Rio and it is being delivered today to the embassy. It says that right now it is with the driver.

Steve, sorry, but I didn't understand.

Like, for instance, my case left NVC Monday morning - Jun 2nd. So, my date would be the 30th of May (because if the package was collected Monday morning, the collect must have been requested on Friday).

But, where did you get that "EXP 30 may 2008a"?

Could it be mine, could it be mine?!

Ai ai!

I got the info on how to figure out the tracking number on another thread. But yes, you are correct about which date to use. There is no way of knowing if your papers are actually in that package, but they said that it was shipped on the 2nd of June, and that was the package that was shipped on the 2nd of June, so I would bet money that your papers are in that package. But it might take a day or two for the embassy to acknowledge that they received your paperwork. you are getting closer!!!!!

Sometimes it feels like I live on this website. It is addicting!!! I just try to keep getting as much information as possible so that I can know what is going on with my visa and do everything I can to speed up the process.

I just want to be with my wife as soon as I can!!! Is that too much to ask?

And last night, Jessica was telling me that before we started the process she was worried about me. Because she was reading the forum on the Univision website and there were women complaining that their husbands didn't know anything about the process and they were having to do everything themselves. So she was thinking that this was the way all Americans were. She was worried that she was going to have to do everything herself, so she is very releived that I know so much about the process.

And by the way, I grew up in Colorado, so I am a Denver Broncos fan. I do not like the Seahawks. GO BRONCOS!!!!!!!

Oh, I see. My husband is in that group of the "Univision Wives". lol He knows nothing at all and whenever I start talking to him about visas he goes: "This is way to confusing for me." Helloooooooooooooooo?!

Steve, I was born and raised in Brazil. I grew up watching SOCCER. I have nooooo (nada, zero, nichts) idea how things work in football. I asked my husband, he tried to explain but still, waaaaaaaay too confusing for me. I say I support Seahawks because I know no other football teams.

I learned a new one today: Broncos! lol

By the way, are they good? Do they usually win?

Maybe you could wear a Seahawks or Broncos jersey to the interview to show your support for United States sports.

And yes, I know very well about the addiction in South American Soccer. I was in Buenos Aires last year on a day when Argentina beat Brazil in a soccer game. They were partying in the streets all night long. And I am very aware about the rivalry between Argentina and Brazil in Soccer. I have to give my friends in Brazil a hard time about it all of the time. Then they will tell me lots of jokes that start - "There was a Brazilian man and an Argentinian man"

Oh oh, and maybe we could add a foam finger AND a whistle to my jersey! That would be super! Imagine me?! Cool! The council would go and ask: Oh, I see you support Broncos / Seahawks?! And I go: "Who? What are you talking about?"

I know. I have my restrictions to Argentinian people. Hum... We are better you know, the brazilians. There's no need to explain why we are better. It simply shows. LOL

Nooooooooo, of course not! I have nothing against argentinian people. They are fun cool people to be around! My boss is argentinian and he's cool! (They are a little snobish though! )

Steve, noooo, jokes always start: So, there was a brazilian and a portuguese... etc..."
