My boyfriend called to the NVC for ask about our apointment date and they said that he must call to the washington he called but there was no information, somebody can give me an advice please, we sent our documents the last monday and today is friday maybe is a good idea buy the pin for ask information at colombia embassy??

Jeff y mabel,

There is no need to call the embassy, DOS will know your interview at the same time and you can call Monday thru Friday.

Hey Scott, wishing you some very good luck during the interview!

On the migratorio...for example with the policial, Leidy got it about 2 months ago, is that still good, i know its valid for 1 year but with the embassy you never know if they want it more current, ....that's the question i have with the migratorio , is it too soon to get or can shego ahead and get it already, God willing, the interview should be sometime in January.

Galeria Cafe y Libro is more of a night club place then a place to eat...I love the place, im big into salsa and thats the music they play most!

Hi Byron,

Looking at your Timeline I notice you wrote 11/26/07-Packet 3 sent to Leidy did you mean A. The Embassy sent package 3 to your fiancé? or B. You sent the package (documents) she'll need to show at the Embassy

I'm wondering how did you found out about this information in case the answer is A?

The reason for which I'm asking is 'cause my electronic and hard copy of our package left NVC on November 19, my husband called the embassy on Wednesday and they said they haven't received the hard copy, the only thing I can think about to calm my nerves is 'cause of Thanksgiving day and floating holiday (Friday) the Embassy must be swamp with all those packages they received on Monday.

Thank you...............Ana

HEY EVERYBODY!!!!

I'm getting a little nervous here but I guess that's normal...I really can't wait to get to Bogota next week!!!

I spoke with Bob at Bogota Colombia Lodging (very nice and helpful guy) today and he told me he had a couple staying at his accomodations that went through the embassy and were approved on Monday...they had their visa package sent to Bob's office and received it this morning. Three working days seems to be safe but I just changed our flights to allow four working days just in case. (working days:Mon-Fri not including holidays)

Pretty good news that they are pretty quick getting it to a Bogota address.

P.S. Bob came highly recommended by others that have stayed there and now I know why.

WOW!!!!!! Things are changing fast. They seem to make it more difficult with everything they do. Sounds like you may have the answeare Scott. stay in Bogota a few extra days to get the visa.

To get the certificate of migration now sounds like a extra trip to Bogota for most folks, that sucks.

I am planning on getting Paola's son up here soon and will have to plan on all this. Thanks for the info folks.

Scott, Bogota is a wierd place. You go from freezing to sweating and back to freezing in a span of just a few minets. The wait outside of the embassy in the early morning was close to hell for us. I wore only a light shirt with a very light jacket. The wind and rain was a tad bit miserable too. We arrived at 5:30am and stood around for about 45 min. You can get there about 6am and be fine in IMHO.

Nervous is when yopu approach the interview window and have your brain go blank. I sat there confident while waiting, then, Paola's name was called and my brain just went blank. LOL>LOL.

I think you and Brian are the next two in line. Good luck to both of you. (and your fiancee's)

Byron if you really like soups, next time you go to Colombia ask for MUTE (mooteh), it is DEEELISH!!! It's got, corn, potatoes, chicharrón, chorizo, all kinds of good stuff, it's wonderful. We had it the day we were granted the visa and I wanted to order some more.

Well i tracked it through dhl...it was extremely time consuming but i did it...i'll post what i did ...i cant promise its going towork but give it a shot..

....go to dhl.com....go to track....then to track by reference...where it says to put ref number put this but with the date that you think it left NVC......EXP 21 NOV 2007A.......Then on the dates part put the range of a couple of days before it was sent , and a couple days after.....for zip code of where it left put 03801.....I can't promise you it will work but try it...keep playing with the dates of the reference and the pick up and arrival dates...until you get a bunch of reference numbers and their destination...if you get that see if the zip code is the one from NVC which is 03801...I hope it works!!

Byron,

Ana I think was talking about the embassy sending packet 3 to Leidy...you have confirmed that to be 11/26/07.

I think your answer to her was in reference to NVC sending your case to the embassy.

Did you already do the packet 3 shortcut but haven't received your interview date yet?

I'm not sure about exactly how old is acceptable for the migratory...Yenifer got hers about 2 months ago.

P.S. Thanks Buck and Chester

They said they sent it out on the 26th to Leidy..Scott i did have Leidy fax the stuff already and i just called DOS and a lady told me that on the 28th they have me as "qualifying" for an interview but that they have Dec 28th...she is not sure if it was a mistake or what...all she said is try calling next week...she left me a little uneasy because now im confused...

[Scott n Yenifer 0]

You'll do great, Scott. You guys are well prepared. Just stay calm and pay close attention. ;-)

Thanks Charles...Hey, what's the update on your AOS case?

Byron, no need to worry, just call again on Monday and I'm sure they will be able to sort it out.

Sometimes our gov't (IMMIGRATION) agencies are a little confused!!!

I've been calling the DOS daily. They keep telling me that Fernanda is eligible for an interview date, but a date has not been scheduled. Have they been telling you the same thing?

[BYRON-LEIDY 0]

EXACTLY THE SAME THING I GOT !!!!!!!!!!!!!

JUST GIVE US THE DATE!!!!!!!!

[Bill y Bella 0]

Strange. I wonder why suddenly there is a hold up on interview appointments. They used to schedule them promptly.
