AWESOME BUCK AND PAOLO, MAY GOD BLESS THE BOTH OF YOU!

Good News,

Had my mother-in-law return to Bogota for her 2nd interview at the Embassy. We were more prepared and it paid off. She was granted a tourist visa!

She stood there crying and crying after approved and had to be calmed down by the Consular Officer. My mother-in-law had a female Officer who placed her hand against the glass window and my mother-in-law placed her hand on the other side of the glass. The Officer just kept telling her to relax, you are approved, it's okay, as she tried to comfort her. I guess a few of the Officer's have a heart there.

Looking forward to having mom here for Christmas. She might regret getting that visa when she feels the cold! I live in Connecticut.

Congratulations Corey!!!! I remember your story very well, and it's a shame that your mother in law's visa wasn't granted the first time. I would have went nuts too!

Corey,

What tips can you give us in regards for preparing in regards with a tourist visa?

[Scott n Yenifer 0]

Congratulations on your mother-in-law's success Corey!

I'm pretty sure she won't even notice the cold (TOO MUCH) to be with her family!!!!!

For all of you newer folks...just so you know...there is no "official" cover letter. Just write one. It's easy. You should already have experience writing a cover letter to go with your I-129F.

Here's some suggestions for content:

1) Date of fax/mailing

2) Addressed to embassy visa section

3) Your BGT case number

4) Statement of what you are requesting (an interview)

5) Summary of documents that are included

6) Method of contacting the beneficiary and petitioner (phone number and e-mail)

7) Signed by petitioner

Good luck,

Mike

Yazz

Damn. Every once in a while I see a post here that really gets to me. And this morning there are two that have me wiping my eyes and hoping Bella does not notice. The mental picture of Paola talking with joy at 100MPH and of Corey´s mother in law becoming hysterical because she gets to visit her daughter in the US really tugs at my heart strings.

And isn´t it wonderful to hear about a CO being reasonable with Paola and compassionate with Corey´s MIL? It is so nice to occasionally see some evidence of human life on the other side of the glass.

Congratulations to Buck, Paola & Corey!

Congrats Corey on La Suegra getting the approval.

Hope we get that CO.

Hey guys just want to share that a VJer (Jamacia) that applied for a K-1 with CSC just got his NOA2 yesterday and he applied on June 1st. Reason i'm happy is that I applied on June 8. At least I see alittle ray of light.

I hate to be the one to tell you this, but there is no way CSC is processing June petitions. Kevin & Moira applied on May 2. Their NOA1 was delayed until June 1 but it does not matter because CSC does not process petitions in NOA1 date sequence. That is why VJ adjudication date projections are based on submittal dates instead of NOA1 dates.

Kevin & Moira waited 148 days from when they submitted which is very consistent with the processing time of everyone else who was approved at CSC recently.

Here are two posts with more information and statistics related to this. Post #1, Post #2

Sorry to be the bearer of bad news.
