Then this is what I would do. Find out from the embassy if they still have the case. If they do, ask for another interview and tell them that you feel you didn't have a fair interview since you have a legitimate relationship. Buy a PIN for the interview if you have to and go to the embassy again for another interview. If that fails, then plan B would be to get married and file for a CR1 which can take as long as the K3, is a much better visa and less expensive.

That sounds like great advice. Carl will need to either call or do the DHL Tracking thing that I learned here from VJ: http://www.visajourney.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=163292

I think Carl will work faster on this case than if he hired an Attorney IMHO. Carl, I met Jessica with my wife when we were in Bogota. If it helps, I can provide a character reference for you. You know, I got your back buddy.

Sandra

Very cool- sounds like it will be over very soon! We are trying to send our visa back to embassy from Pereira by Domesa, but my gal is having some problems- they (Domesa) seem to be telling her they cannot do it- don't ask my why???? (she accidentally opened the package that was sealed and for U.S. Immigration at POE, when Domesa delivered her visa to her home). So, they are making her write a letter of some sort- again, no clue! Somehow, I think she will end up having to go back to the embassy to do this, but I guess we can try by Domesa. I wish i could ask them (Domesa) some questions as to what the problem is, but I do not seem to be able to find any contact info for them, and I am sure they would speak no English, anyway....

Joe,

I'm sure that it is a question of liability. Without her letter of explanation, Domesa has no proof that they didn't open the package. The US Embassy will want to know who opened the package and Domesa does not want to be held liable. My .02 worth.

Good Luck and hoping your process is speedy.

Hey Mark,

Hmmm that could very well be- I never thought about it from that angle.... I'd feel better if she actually went to the embassy to have this done, since if something could go wrong, it probably will, with this courier thing....
