Im not going to celebrate just yet, but according to Andres they are going to mail out his visa to him.

God willing everything will go without a hitch and this time we wont get a dreaded call again stating "just kidding we aren't going to send it out even though you are approved."

I'll only celebrate once he has his visa in his hand.

The second interview was rather pointless. He was shuffled around from window to window. They asked him if he had any paperwork to turn in...and since none was requested he said no. From what he told me they looked at him kinda funny at some windows and one lady even said "Then why are you here?" After explaining the situation like a million times he was called up to window 1 and was told "we are mailing your visa go pay at domesa" The thing is we already paid for Domesa the first time we were approved and he showed his reciept from over a month ago.

She said ok....and that was it! All those games for them to tell us "We'll mail it!" Seriously! NEways

Now we just wait for the visa I guess....Once he has it we will start looking for airfares.

Thanks for everyone's support! Its been pain but in the end it will be worth it.

Lots of love,

Passage Revelation 19:11:

11And I saw heaven opened, and behold a white horse; and he that sat upon him was called Faithful and True, and in righteousness he doth judge and make war.

"satan is real and he's playing for keeps
God is realer and we are His sheep
which side are you on, CHOOSE, start moving your feet
choose JESUS and have ETERNAL PEACE" by GOD to me on 9/26/10 about 2am
Thank you Jesus!!!!

Well DOS was very vague...as usual! When I called them last week the lady said "well your still in AP but the embassy will try to contact the beneficiary today." That was 7/3/08. 7/7/08 The embassy calls to request that we call them (??) to set up a second interview. I called DOS yesterday to see if they could confirm that AP was over with and they said..."Well it could be that they are done" then I asked are Security Checks done and they said "yes."

So....its a yes to both....kinda.

I hope that answers your question!
