These things seem to change because Yenifer faxed packet 3 at noon on wednesday...I called at 2:00 that same day and they had allready input it and 2 days later we were given an interview date.

Wow. For MV-JR it's already been 2 weeks and no interview date. :(

I was so busy today to call the embassy and I even forgot to tell my wife to do it. Damn. Oh well, I doubt they are willing to give me any more information than the DOS can.

I think like Scott said...DOS gets the interview date instantly when the embassy schedules it...I called the embassy more to see if my fax arrived yesterday or not..the lady said they had no record of it.

Thanks Diana!

It looks like there are lots of questions being submitted and a lot of them have nothing to do with Colombia. They will only choose 10 questions so there is a lot of competition!

I think we should lobby for "our" questions to be included. Please post your questions on the link Diana provided even if they have already been submitted and/or express your support for questions that have already been submitted if you think it is important that they be included.

Here are the ones I submitted:

  1. Why do the embassy authorized doctors in Bogota require that vaccinations be "fresh" and require beneficiaries to obtain and pay for vaccines they have already received?
  2. Does the attendance of the petitioner at the interview have any impact on the outcome?
  3. How does the embassy determine if the beneficiary and petitioner share a common language?
  4. When petitioners attend the interview, what determines whether or not they are interviewed?

I guess we all experience some plus' and minus' along our journey...it took almost 6 weeks between our NOA2 and NVC receiving it so a 2 day turn around at the embassy made up for a little of that...who knows what's next for any one of our cases...I'm just glad and I think we are all blessed to have this forum and each other to lean on when we need help and support.
