Congratulations! Great news! You could be done with NVC in about a month if you pay online and have your papers ready.

Please start working on the police certificates. You need three of them. Some you have to request and go back in a few days to get it and one has to be taken from one office to another and then it takes an additional week to get it back.

I sent you a rough draft of my interview experience at the U.S. embassy in Lima. Don't know if you got it. Will post it to the embassy review section shortly.

Congratulations again!
