WE ARE APPROVED !

We were out of the Embassy by 11:00 AM and they never asked to see any additional evidence or even asked to speak to me...

Maritza said the only questions she was asked was the dates of my last trip and how we met.. They told her the paperwork all looked correct and that they were approving the VISA...

Hi Kenny,

Congrats again and, if you see this, where did you guys stay? I need to make a reservation for the night before our interview. We just want to be closer to the embassy since the interview is at 7AM and don't want to have any problems that morning.

I just sent the final paperwork to her via DHL. I'm bringing my own copies with me next week but sent them ahead of time as insurance. I'm really starting to feel it now!!

Hey guys,

Going through the final things before heading down to Bogotá tomorrow and have a question about the DS-156 and DS-156K..

When are they signed? The DS-156K clearly states it is signed at the interview in front of the CO but what about the DS-156? At the bank when paying, at the embassy or whenever?

Other than that, I think we're ready!!!

Thanks
