Contratulation Chester&Monica!!!!!!!!!!

[HAL 9000 96]

The office of the male doctor, Dr Jairo Roa - did not bat an eye on her vaccinations. She has her original vaccination cards from Comfandi. The doctor wrote the vaccination information on a form and placed them in a sealed envelope. The original vaccination cards remained with her.

Also, do you mind letting us know what the doctor says about the vaccines? Both offices told us they can't be older than 30 days but I just don't buy that.

Thanks!!!

Diana

GOOD!!

Is that the I-693a?? Hopefully so...

Its nice to know one of the MDs may be catching on to correct vaccination guidelines in lieu of getting their friends hooked up for more cash.

Luis,

You are next up. I know that your interview is on Monday and you are short on time. I should have asked you a few days ago. If you would like to post a list of all the documents you and Viviana are taking to the intervew such as certificates, evidence of the relationship, I134 paperwork etc. Just in case others can see something that you may have slipped by you. Believe me, it will help you sleep better knowing that others here with experience have given you the "OK" that you have everything in order.

Well I just wanted to see if anyone can tell me what I'm missing. Here is a list of what Yuly has currently

Passaport

Registro de nacimiento (2 copies)

Paseo Judicial

Certificado Migratorio (has been ordered)

I want to bring the I-134 and the proof of our relationship with me when I go to the interview.

Some of things on the packet 3 list she won't need...

First time married no divorce decree needed

No crimes committed any need for criminal background check.

Not catholic no fe de bautismo registered.

Never been in the military no military record needed.

Is there something that I'm missing or I should get now and out of the way?

Thanks,

Rafael

Congratulations to all the recent approvals!!!!!!!

We've been without internet service for the best part of the past month, so I've had trouble keeping up with happenings here.

A question for any of you in the AOS process (I'll ask at the Colombia AOS forum also): We sent in our AOS paperwork at the end of July - just under the wire for the rate increase. But, we have not received any confirmation, and the check has not yet been cashed. I did receive notification from the post office that the packet had been received, but nothing from USCIS. Anyone else having this experience???? A month seems like a long time to sit on the check, but then again I know they got a crush of applications at the deadline.

Ok, I'm a worrier.... but this IS important - to us, at least. ;-)

Parkpapa,

You were MIA for a while, good to see you back.

I'm in the same boat as you waiting for AOS. They received our package on the 2nd of August, and nada, no cashed check, no NOA1, no biometrics appointment. Looking at similar timelines, a lot of people that sent the application a few days befor the 30th of July are in the same boat. I'm going to give it another week or so before I start worrying.

Not catholic no fe de bautismo registered.

This may still be an issue that needs to be taken care of. I would check with Andrea and Buck, I believe both of them had the same situation. You will probably need to take some other documents that proves that your fiance is not catholic.

You still have plenty of items left out, but i'm assuming that you will take care of them once your petition is approved.

Chester,

Quick question. Please verify that the Dr at the medical exam did NOT ask, nor put the DS156 in the sealed envelope. This is believed to be a new non-procedure.

[Chester y Monica 2]

Question for everyone. We are here at the Ministerio de Exterios Relaciones.

I was told that we need the spanish registro civil apostilled. Which needs to be stamped by the 'notaria superindente'. Then it can be apostilled. Then the translators in the same building, say they need the spanish version apostilled first, then translated, then the english version apostilled again.

This makes no sense. All I need is a translated document.

Our documents do not have the 'superindente notaria seal' just normal notarized seals from the registro in buga. I can see that if I need the documents in spain or other latin countries then it does make sense. But what I can't understand is that the translators will not finish the document unless they're translating something apostilled.

This translation thing is becoming more of a

First notarized copy

Second superendinte de notario en bogota

Third apostille the spanish version

Fourth translate

Fifth apostille the trasnlation.

This is going to cost around 75 mil pesos. Which is about the same dang 30 bucks in the US. I don't need the spanish versions anyway.

Any advice? Or are we doing unneccesary work?

Forgive my typing. I'm using my blackberry to answer the forums.

No, doctor office did not ask for ds156. We DID bring them. But the doctors office did not ask for them.

What’s up Lucho, No go on the Fantasy football I seen.

Yeah on this FE DE BAUTISMO document we had a replacement. We had a letter of membership given by her pastor of her church that states the day she was baptized and membership. This should work, right? I received a letter from my pastor as well, just in case.

What more do you think I should dig up?
