Visa Approved!!!

Brillit called me yesterday after her 2nd interview. The visa was approved. AP was less than 2 months...

Plans are to have her come in Mid March. I will be going down for Carnaval at the end of February.

Hola amig@s,

We'll be having our interview in Bogota on June 30th... I wanted to get some feed back from anyone that has gone through this process already. My Hubby is a wreck, he's so nervous about it. Me on the other hand is chilling waiting patiently for the day. WHAt should I expect...any suggestions on what to bring, other than the obvious? and what is the embassy process...what to expect that day

EStamos esperenado nuestra cita en la embajada de Bogota, mi esposo esta muy nervioso, yo mas tranquila esperenado el dia pacientemente... queria saber de ustedes los que ya pasaron por este proceso, sus sugerencia y experiencia en su cita, les agradesco. (esto lo hago para mostrarle a mi esposo y dejarle saber que no es nada del otro mundo.....y se le pasen los benditos nervios!!) gracias totales

Hi Mayra

Have your hubby take a chill pill before the interview. Showing your love for each other (search this thread to my and others' interview recounts) will help if they are looking at you in the seating area while waiting- but don't assume they are... and dress business casual, not disco casual.

Other than that, expect the questions listed throughout this thread.

Much luck

Yeah, I know the whole process starts from the waiting area and on.... that's waht i tell my hubby to chill seriously b/c they can see all these nervousness...we have nothing to fear, its just a process that we have to go through, you know. But really wanted to get it from you guys that might have gone throught it so i can send it to him and he can just relax.

I think we have everything, just take lots of evidence....I myself will be at the interview....what a plus!!

Solo dile eso... anyway... tell him to take a novel to read (paperback) for the waiting because the coffee there isn't all that great.

Its all about what you have, and how you show it. Of course I am not talking about evidence, but rather how the two of you interact with each other.

Suerte

i can't wait till Joe gets pulled out of AP. I hope you are having a good time in Colombia. I sure envy you. Now that we had the visa approved I guess all we are waiting for is for it to arrive. I'm glad this phase is actually over but In a way wish all of us never had to go through this. The 2nd day we were there my wife said something to me that really touched my heart. She said why do I have to ask a government permission to be with you if God made one land for everybody. Tears were coming out of her eyes. I didnt know what to say ..... Why the helldoes JOE have to wait 6, 8, 10 weeks to get his fiancee's visa approved it makes no F'in sense. Comin Bogota pull it together ..... Take care guys

If any of you live in an area with MetroPCS...check out this thread. I've had Metro here in Atlanta for 7 years and I love them...unlimited calling!!! Now they are expanding it to 100 countries for $5 a month. My friend called me yesterday to tell me and I called and had it added on. The calls are for LAND LINES ONLY. but its a great deal anyhow.

That is the best deal. I spend between $5-$10 per week on calling cards.

I thought last night about adding on a second line through Verizon, and then delivering the phone to Leidys in Barranquilla in 3 weeks. Then, I could call that line for free (I think). Since I received free calls to my cell from the US whenever I was in Barranquilla.

Any ideas on this? Gracias,

Ken

There are free services that allot a certain amount of minutes per week to call Colombia. My wife uses it for calling my suegra. Can't remember the name right now though.

Hal, I will talk to Verizon about this and report back. It would provide us with a valuable resource - instant communication. Let me know of the free services your wife uses?? Thanks, I appreciate it.

Hey Pat,

Thanks for the support- I just got in from Colombia tonite. I had a nice time there with my sweetie, but hard to leave her behind. Unfortunately, I have still not heard anything- I was hoping we may get notified while I was there, but nada. I'm thinking I should hear something soon, but who knows at this point...

Thanks,

Joe
