Thanks a lot guys. I just flew into NYC back from Bogota and will start getting things ready for her. We already got a ticket for November 20th so now i'm just going to wait patiently for that day. One questions that i have now is what does she have to bring to the US that she may have to Apostille (like the marriage certificate) or bring for the process of AOS? Thanks a lot again guys and i am so glad that this big step of getting her to the US is finally coming to an end and we will finally be together.

Hi Diana, (and HAL 9000)

Yes, I started on PBH! That is a great general site with lots of info. But, when it comes to this Visa related stuff, this site is invaluable! Everyone is so helpful and nice here- you get some people on PBH that can be pretty harsh!!! : )

That's because they're all 40-50 year-olds going on 12. You just bring down your IQ a bit and you're set. :lol:
