Diana,

I got my wife the perfect welcome home gift. I got us really good tickets to this thing called MegaFest. It is Enrique Iglesias, Lizardman(Marc Anthony), Alejandro Fernandez, Fonseca and some others. The show is a week after she arrives and these just happen to be some of her favorite artists. The best part is that I work in the music industry, so the seats are really good and best of all, FREE.

CQ,

Thanks for your note. Adriana is very happy :dance::dance: but very busy these days getting everything ready to travel. I made the reservations this weekend, I will fly there on the 21st of August and then we will retutn on the 24th. Her POE will be Houston instead of Los Angeles. We couldn't get a good flight from Bogota to Los Angeles. But everything is looking good.

Your surprise for your wife sounds fantastic.

Diana and Andres,

Congratulations :thumbs: , I should have sent my best wishes earlier but I haven't been online for a few days.

Dennis

Well...at least the Houston route is a faster one not to mention that you'll be there the whole way. Andres has to take the mexico route...We decided it would be better for him to make poe at LAX in case he gets delayed. Not to mention its a lot cheaper...Maybe you'll see him at El Dorado. He also is heading here on the 24th!

I think Andres will feel more comfortable having LAX be his POE. It is much less confusing than say, Miami. You'd have to fly there to meet him the airport is so confusing. But, I'm sure he would find his way around. I can't wait to hear when he reaches SoCal.

Hello everyone!

Well, our interview is coming up. July 29th is our date and we're very excited and a little nervous. We have followed things very well so far, and I think all of our paperwork is in order/ready to go. I'm an engineer by day, so attention to details is in my blood. hehe.

I'm just nervous that we're going to get there without a crucial item that we forget or something...Her medical appointments are this Friday, and she's been busy collecting her previous vaccination records and getting new ones. I have a full I-134, with print outs of my past W2s and Tax paperwork, as well as a signed letter on work stationary indicating my salary from my company. I'm also bringing my last 4-5 pay stubs. We have the DS-156 and DS-156K forms (I made four copies), and we have extras of her passport style photographs. She has all her DAS paperwork and she should be able to just pick up the one in Bogota (entry and exit Colombia) as she already filed for it, and paid for it. She is getting her baptism cert there in Bogota. She has her passport, and it's good for a long time. We have a nice collection of photographs, us in the US together, two separate times, with my family in many of them...my down in Colombia with her and her family, us together in California a couple different times etc. I have a long list of gmail emails and chats...around 725 of them. :) I'll print a few special ones, and then print pages showing the list of emails/chats. Plus I have a number of hand written letters etc, before she went to Colombia and the mail service no longer worked. ;)

One thing I'm a little nervous about is her birth certificate. They list a very specific thing on the paperwork, (not the short form, has certain info and a copy of the folio). Well, she said all the info they are looking for is there...I asked about the folio part as I have no clue what that is. She said it has the folio number on it. Can anyone here please send me a picture of what exactly is needed? I promise I won't print/misuse your birth certificate...I just want something to send to her to see if it's what she has. Is it just a folio number? Or an actual document she needs?

She was never married, no arrests, no immigration issues and no military history so all those items are not needed.

Anything we're missing here?

I'm looking forward to a week in Bogota...never been there before. She has family and friends there, so we're staying with them and I'm gonna meet some of her extended family. :)

Good luck to everyone else still out there.

Ben
