The front seat of my Rubicon was too small to sleep on, so I curled up on the back seat for seven hours

I have a Jeep Wrangler Sahara and I cannot even fathom the thought of sleeping in the back seat for even an hour. There's just no room! :lol:

Ken is living proof that yoga works! :lol:

Just the latest on my AP nightmare wait:

I asked my Congressman's office to contact the embassy in Bogota, and see if they can get anything specific about my case in AP. They sent an email and received this reply today, from them:

Thank you for your inquiry.

Unfortunately, we are not allowed to divulge more specifics of the administrative processing. I can tell you, however, that these processes currently have a backlog of about six months. We expect to finish the process in the case shortly, and we will contact as soon as possible after the process is finished.

Best regards,

Immigrant Visa Unit

U.S. Embassy Bogotá

I am not quite sure how to interpret the message "6 months backlog"- maybe add 6 months onto the normal AP time of 2-3 months? I'll be hitting six months of AP the end of this month....

Oh well, what the hell ya gonna do.....

Joe

Smokin

Joe- I think the flag just went up that they are going to push this through really fast now due to the congressional inquiry...

I truly expect to see good news here soon bro.

THANKS HAL and Ken- I am hoping maybe within this year something will happen- not sure what to make about the 6 month backlog comment they mention....

Leidys traveled to a rough part of Barranquilla (near Parque Amistad) for her package at the Domesa office. She returned home with everything, and her brother joked with her about leaving this Sunday. She is staying in Barranquilla until the 21st or 22nd of November so that she can celebrate her 29th Birthday with her family and relatives. I can't wait to see her, but she needs this time to be with her family before she moves here.

Carl,

Email them the .pdf files on Monday - you can't lose! :thumbs: They'll get back with you on Tuesday, and by Friday you should hopefully get an email stating that everything has been accepted and for you to "watch the list." From there, you can call NVC for your appointment date, and it'll be Bogota!!! Bogota!!!

Uh, with 202 days *before* AP, I would be ready as well. Also, the funny part is that I dragged my feet with regard to sending in my K-1, and you sent yours in almost 2 months in advance, and the California Service Center processed my paperwork in just over 90 days (May 1st-August 4th). I'm hoping you can get that K-1 real soon after all of this waiting around so that we can see you both in Las Vegas. :thumbs::dance:
