Experience this week at Embassy in Prague

[Patrick and eL 0]

Hi Everyone,

The good news is my wife should have her K-3 visa in the mail by Monday. But what an ordeal!

The medical was fast and good (as described in others posts on this site). The interview was no problem, and she was asked to come back the next day for the visa. Again, to be expected.

But the next morning they called for her to come to the Embassy in the morning because they "forgot" to do her fingerprints. So she made her way there and did that. And she decided to stay around Old Town and enjoy a beautiful day in Praha. When she went back to the Embassy, there was a technical problem with her picture (and many other visa pictures), so they wouldn't give her the visa. So they said maybe the next day. Well staying in Prague ain't cheap my friends, so my sweet wife was on the train back to Olomouc the next morning. And of course the Embassy called saying the visa was ready...so they're mailing it to her.

Amazing.

Moral of the story: patience is the only way. Don't lose hope.

Anyway, she's flying to me on Thursday! We continue working on her immigrant visa after she gets here, but that's another story...

Good luck to all!

You are SO fortunate to go end to end in 5 months! That's amazing to me. Our 1-130 was submitted to the Vermont in November of 2007 and our interview at the Embassy in Belgrade is scheduled for 30Sept. It's nice to hear success stories! Best of luck to the two of you!

CONGRATULATIONS!!!! Yeah, you'll have some more visa adventures in the States, but you'll be together, and that makes all the difference.

Good luck!!!!

Update...and after an agonizing few days not knowing how the Embassy sent the package, it arrived today (Tuesday).

Not knowing what comes next, I called the NVC to tell them she was granted the K-3 visa and is on her way. I have to say most of my contact with the NVC has been very positive, as was tonights. Next thing I do is send them a letter advising them she'll be seeking an Adjustment of Status, and then we'll start that phase. I certainly don't need to have her go back to Prague for her CR1 interview!

Na zdravi and slainte to all.
