Does anyone here in the Club know the cutoff date to have your interview scheduled for the next month? The stupid packet 3 got lost in the mail and I'm afraid we won't have our stuff turned in in time to get a May interview. Thanks.

Peter, it is nice to see you are together already. Great news. I have been a bit disconnected from visajourney but I still read through these threads.

Let me know if you need any help with AOS stuff.

We had created a colombian club also in AOS portion so see you there.

Joe/ Silvia,

Nice to "see" you again. How are things?

It is great to see you here. Lucero and I are doing great. We are having a hassle with the EAD and CPR but nothing like the visa. At least we can fight this together. We could not understand why this was taking so long until we found out that our office was in New Orleans and it got wiped out in Katrina. The office for this area used to be Jacksonville but, evidently, it changed just before the storm.

I am not complaining though. I get to kiss her every morning. It is pretty incredible.

Hey, what's up Colombia Club. Just wanted to let you know that Olga has her interview next week (May 24th) and I'll try to get her to write a review afterwards.

[zed2283 1]

My novia had her interview today and the K-1 visa was approved. She said that the whole thing was very easy and that the people there were very pleasant with her. A few comments:

I had sent her English-version documents already filled out (the papers from the embassy said that they can be in either English or Spanish). Well today they told her that turning in the English version would slow things down, so they gave her documents in Spanish to fill out.

About an hour after turning in all her documents they called her up to talk to the consul. Olga said that she was a gringa and that her Spanish wasn't very good. The lady made a joke, which put Olga at ease. She then asked the following questions:

How did you meet?

When was the last time you saw your novio?

How many times have you seen him?

Why do you want to get married? (I'm sure LisaD and TracyTN think this was a very good question!)

Where does he live?

What does your family think about you leaving for the US?

When did he buy his house? (she didn't know the answer and the lady said that was ok)

Do you have any friends/relatives in the US and where do they live?

Those are all the questions I can remember her telling me. She then asked Olga if she had any proof of the relationship with her and Olga told her what she had. She said the lady looked through about half of it (we had lots of pictures, my phone bills, flight itineraries, etc.) and then told her she was approved. She arrived this morning a little before 7am and was done at 11am. She's supposed to go back tomorrow at 4pm (as has been previously documented here on VJ) to pick up the paperwork.

Congratulations. It's good to see those rumors about the Colombian consulate are untrue.

Hi All,

I am back and better than ever. I just got married on Saturday, May 27, 2006. You can see the wedding pictures at www.peterandleidy.weddings.com. I have been away from VJ since Johanna got to Miami but now I am back. I am putting together the AOS package; I will probably send it out Monday or Tuesday. The next part begins now.

It is nice to hear from all the Colombian Club and VJ members. Congratulations to all how have moved on to the next step in the process.

Regards,

Peter Miami

Hi zed2283,

Please read what I wrote on the first page on this thread. Here is a part of the thread;

"Once the petition gets to the Embassy you or your fiancée faxes and sends by courier (Servientrega); a copy of your fiancées passport, OF-169, DS-2001 and DS-230 part 1. If the Embassy gets these documents before the cut-off date (varies from month to month 16th to the 20th) then you get the interview the following month. If not by the cut-off date you get the interview the month after that."

It is not the 20th of the month!

Good luck,

Peter Miami

Hi Andres,

Thank you very much and I will definitely need your help. I am putting together the I-485 package and I plan on sending it out today or tomorrow. Say “Hi” to Paola and I hope you guys are having a great time. Johanna and I are in heaven.

Thanks for the 411 on the Colombian Club in the AOS Section; I did not know that existed.

Regards,

Peter Miami

Hi Rebelinmotion,

I can not help you with this issue because I have not done it. Hopefully someone here can help you but if not go to the “General Family Based Immigration Topics” Section and under that section you go to “Brining family members of US Citizen to America” Section. You will probably get more assistance there.

Good luck,

Peter Miami
