A big congratulations to you! Did you get the packet 3 before you scheduled the interview, or did you just call direct and schedule it?

Thanks TaiwanLover. No, i didn't wait for the packet 3 as Manila Embassy sometimes falter to send that (as how Calypso put it)... they just asked for my case number and they verified that i am eligible to schedule the interview... now, off she goes to the medical exam... :dance:

LOL! That is too funny! I just got done shoveling 1/2 of my sidewalk and it took me 30 minutes to move the heavy wet snow. Come on out to Michigan. There is lots of the white stuff everywhere!

Awww :( When was the last time it was touched? You can go here to create an account (with your WAC#) and see when it was last updated, if you haven't already.

Beth, you ebbil woman, you gave me your cold -- you should have kept it to yourself! :jest: I finally feel almost human (no thanks to the combined powers of spicy chicken noodle soup and onion soup... or time). I suppose on the bright side, it's been all snowy and icky and I've been stuck on my couch, abusing my streaming Netflix with tea and juice and lots of water.

I feel well enough to make a run to the store this afternoon, but I stayed home again just to make sure I don't pass this bad boy on.

I've kind of gone into vacation overdrive, looking at restaurants and things to do in New Orleans (where we're having the wedding). I'm pretty laid back once I go on vacation, but I like knowing the options before I leave (and have a few restaurant reservations!). I know some of the places we're eating at, and I think the rest we'll let go with the flow.

Received packet 3 on Thursday and my fiance will send it back today (Saturday). She seemed somewhat confused by all the forms, but we worked most of it out by video conference. One question she had was about the medical exam. Apparently the consulate has their own form for this, correct? Were they supposed to send it with packet 3, or do they send it along with packet 4?

I just want to take this time to say....please support the people of Chile in this time of great need. My fiance is okay as well as his family but the country is very damaged. it will take 5 years to rebuild they say...

take the time to contribute if you can. My heart goes out to all of them. I hope that this doesn't hugely delay the visa process, but at this point I just care about his well-being. :( I'm so sad right now...

fuerza Chile!

I am going to call the Montreal embassy on Friday to see if they have opened the mail and logged receipt of my fiance's packet 3. Then more waiting for an interview date. I just want to know the date, that is all, then I can start planning a wedding more in earnest. May more of us hear good news of packets 3 and interview dates coming soon.
