Colombia Club Part II

[Mononoke28 134]

It was painful but it finally came out last night!!!! I cryed like a baby but today I've been feeling great! Thank's God that it happened on time before my flight on Sunday. I will keep you guys posted but does anyone know a hotel close to the embassy not that expensive???????

Orlando.....

Ouch!!! Glad you're all set for the interview though.

We didn't stay at a hotel but at a private apartment located very close to the US Embassy. It's a nice place with most amenities you may need, good neighborhood and the owner is really nice. So check it out to see if it fits you, several VJ members have stayed there and I haven't seen many complaints.

I second that- was there the end of April and it worked out perfect (wish my case had!) Chances are you will deal with Martha and/or Alberto- brother and sister combo!

Orlando I am happy for you man, that would bring immense emotion for just about anyone who is going through this.

Joe- hang in there because I have no idea how horrible it is to have to continue waiting even long after you finished with the stuff I am waiting for or have to complete longer down the road. I am taking vacation to see my lovely wife in August in Bogota so lets be sure to trade stories and pics on here hehe.

And back to HAL's baseball analogy, i am glad that all those up to bat from VJ are averaging 1.0 .

My question today is this, will your spouse changing jobs in her country impact the visa process any? She was just telling me that her computer programming company in Bogota, Heinsohn Human Global Services is having a lot of problems and many of her coworkers are either quiting altogether or finding better opportunities elsewhere. She also said that her manager named Ana told her boss that her and two others were leaving and her boss which is the Vice President of the company replied in kind, "Good because you and Merardo are liabilities and are too expensive for the company and that they would pass all the work on to Adriana." (Adriana being my wife). And I was thinking this could be a promotional opportunity but mi esposa told me that the Vice President intends to lower my wifes monthly salary and make her continue the work that her boss and coworkers were doing alone... Such a crazy situation that my wife was really worried about what she is going to do now. I told her I would be able to help her but she is worried, which got me worried too, and not just for her, but for the visa application. Does anyone know if this impacts the visa that much? You can see from my timeline below that I am still at the waiting of the NOA 2 part. My wife told me she may just end up looking for a new job as early as next monday. So I am just wondering if I should advise the USCIS or whatever of her plans.

Once again amigos y amigas thanks for all the information

Hey James,

My wife was unemployed the majority of the time throughout the process, we had the opportunity to reflect that when I originally submitted the paperwork and listed"unemployed", she worked a little during the process of approval but we never made changes or notified USCIS. I don't know if we were supposed to, but it obviously didn't matter in our case.

That will no affect your case at all, if you have a situation like that regarding your job then it will affect it. But she might hagn there with the job she has until you guys finalized the visa process unless she can find a better job but these days is too hard to find anything. I will keep you guys updated with our interview and good luck with your wife's job situation.

Orlando....

You guys are right. Employment status down there won't affect her process with the Embassy as far as this visa is concerned.

Too bad labor law in Colombia reeks like this. Usually, a company doesn't go about making things for its valued employees worse than before unless they actually seek to replace them with lower-paid employees. This is what it seems to be in this case.

Hey James,

Have a good trip to Bogota- I am thinking about maybe Pereira in September. This AP wait is killing me, but there seems to be absolutely nothing I can do- I feel like I may be stuck here in AP for months, just waiting and waiting for some sort of outcome...

Hello to everyone!!! Case completed waiting for apointment to b schedule

Congrats... maybe you won't need an interview.

Hello to everyone!!! Case completed waiting for apointment to b schedule

Congratulations! Also, since your case was completed on 07/11 you might've lucked out and gotten an interview for August. The NVC is all done scheduling August interviews so it wouldn't hurt to give them a call to find out. If not, then it will definitely be scheduled for early September.

I read about that one person in Greece getting the visa without an interview, that's crazy! But in Colombia? It's a looong shot given the amount of fraud in that country.
