Good morning, Colombia Club!

Due to several reasons, I've been away for a few weeks, but I am glad to find out I am still on time to wish Scott good luck with his interview and congratulate Byron for his interview date. What a way to finish 2007!

As for me.... well, I am still waiting for NOA2. It will turn 180 days next week, so I am getting ready for plan B (writing to Senators, calling CSC and anything else you guys suggest)

This one will be a great week for all of us!

Juan Carlos.

I am so excited! Today I called the DOS and they have our interview scheduled!

January 18th, 7:00am.

The next question I have is should I have Sandy call Dr. Gonzalaz now and schedule her medical for 2 days prior, now? Or do we need to wait until she receives her letter ?

I think you can make the appointment for the medical as soon as you have the appointment. You do not need to wait for the letter. You can also make the appointment more than 2 days prior to the interview if it is convenient for you.

Byron,

Bottom of page 2 (I-134) Yes this document needs to be notorized.

As well, is the medical exam required within so many days prior to the interview?

[HAL 9000 96]

Yes, do notarize the Affidavit of Support. I forgot to do this in Chicago and realized it at the Airport. To avoid paying something silly at the Embassy in Colombia I asked at American Airlines when checking in for my flight... and they did it for free.

Hello Guys l have a question for you,

I am really worried about my relation with my fiance, he is a young guy 35 years old, retirement from the army, he is not working like most of you in this forum, he has plenty time to come here to see me. He came here only one time for one week and we had good conection and got engageg, our case from Vermont was already aprove, I think my appoiment is in Feb r Jan. I am realize he lives so far (California), I know a ticket can be expensive, so l looked in a website and l told him l found a good price for january so that he can see me, I have not seen him for 9 month!!. sometimes when l get sad because he did not check the link to see tickets or interesting links about the process in steps about our proces, he said that I got upset, but in fact l got sad, he say that he is worry about this relation and he wants a nice, sweet one. I admit he call me evryday in my lunch time, and we talk in skype for 1 hour or more all the single night. But when l mentiuon about his coming he mentions about expenses in USA, etc, tickets prices etc, etc. He say he loves me and he NEVER want to lose me, but when he mention about his concerns about the relation this worry me. I dont know what l should think, if he is regret about this aplication to K1 visa or maybe l am paranoic... I notice that guys here have visited their fiance in Colombia several times, for ex Byron, or at least 2 times. He has not work becuase he is retiremnt, l dont know what is wrong with him, l am sweet and VERY loyal. Is that situation normal, please help!

No, it is not required to have it done within an X amount of days prior to the interview. However, since most people do not live in Bogotá they schedule the medical about 3 days before the interview just in case something comes up, that way they'll have extra time to take care of whatever issues may arise.

If the beneficiary lives in Bogotá, then it's easier for him/her to schedule the medical and lab appointments whenever they want.

Yes, You most Notarized the I-134 here in The USA, usually if you do it by your BANK, they will do it for free.

Pretty much that Byron. I think it has to be a US Notary, though... so do it in the States. Cheaper that way.

Brian,

Thanks for all your advise! That being said, I have another question, hopefully you can answer.

I submitted a notorized I-134 with my 129 Application. Will I need another one for the interview? Will the Packet 4 information Sandy receives advise to additional documentation I am required to provide? I used an attorney who demanded I provide all of that prior to submission of the 129. Additionally I provided 3 years tax returns as well.
