Gracias for the attempt, but the precise reason that I asked for someone to translate it is because the Internet translation services turn Spanish-to-English into gibberish. Let's try again and hope that a person will provide an accurate translation.

Here's the translation in English:

I arrived at my appointment at 6:30 AM and there were a lot of people in the lines. I was third in my line and was confident that I was in the right place. After 10 minutes, they called out the cases that were for each line; The day was very cloudy and

so they asked us to get organized quickly before the rain started to fall...At 6:40 AM I was in the embassy in Area 40...Afterwards a woman started to hand out folders to use for organizing documents; In my case,I had to wait on 20 people who were behind me because I didn't have the paper with the invitation and they had to verify...They gave me two folders, one for me and one for my son, with directions for organizing all of the documents and told me not to worry about the wait for the interview with the consul...The order of the papers was Forma DS230, DS156, DS 156K, birth certificate, baptism certificate, green book (DAS), letter for departure and entrance in the country, Form 134, results of the medical exam, tow fotos, and proofs of the relations with the photos, letters...all together there were 6 photos, one for the lab, one for the doctor, one fastened to each form 156, two that I gave that were marked on the back...At 8 AM they called me to the window 31, and the woman behind said good morning, are you here by yourself? I tried to give her an explanation as to why I was by myself, but she interrupted and said to just say yes or no...She wrote something in the computer, then she gave me the form 230, the proofs of relation, and she told me to have them at hand when I would have to give them to the consul, and asked my name and that of my son, our birthdates, name of my fiancee, tlephone...She just asked questions to verify information...She asked me to sign Form 156K and then had me stand by Window two...all of the people who entered the embassy at the same time as me were waiting at this window and after 10 minutes they took my finger prints and though they were calling people at the other windows they didn't call anyone from our group yet at our window...After a little while they called a woman to window three and said good day, how are you and at the same time they called my name for window 6. I got up and walked to the window as calm and self assured as I could be...there was a smiling woman behind the window, who greeted me and asked me to sign Form 156 and asked how I had met my fiancee and if he was born in the US...how many times I had gone to see20him...in what language did we communicate...after listening to my answers, she told me that everything in the file was in order and that she was approving the Visa for me and my son, with a big smile on her face...this was a very emotional moment for me and all I could say was thank you very much and have a lovely day, to which she responded that she wished me the same...The wait at the embassy causes a lot of stress and it was very cold, but the important thing is to stay calm, to have all of the papers in order, and to be very sure about what you are saying.

Good Luck on your journey!
