Hello to everyone,

First of all I would like to thank everyone on this site - their information, forums, and comments really help you through the whole process. There is just so much information out there (some good, some bad) and sometimes it feels overwhelming. This site has helped us with the process and that´s why I think it´s also important to share information and personal experiences with others here - to give back and to ultimately help others who are or will soon be in the same situation as the rest of us. With that said....

Our journey was with the Madrid Embassy in Spain. I will be relating some of this post to the information already posted on the Madrid embassy on this site, and the rest of this post will be on our personal experiences and opinions....any feedback is more than welcome of course!

The interview for my wife (the Spanish citizen) was scheduled by the NVC for March 8 at 15.00, which was a Thursday afternoon. Obviously this does not coincide with the information on this site - and from what I have previously read until now - that the inteviews were always on Wednesdays in the morning.

There are 2 different places to have the medical exam done in Madrid. We decided to go with the Unidad Medica Angloamericana. We were satisfied with the way we were treated and everything went smoothly. You do need to take 2 american sized (5cm x 5cm) passport photos with you. When my wife was in the embassy waiting to be interviewed, she spoke with another couple that had their medical exam at the Centro de Radioagnostico and they said that they had problems. I would suggest going to the Unidad Medica Angloamericana, the hospital where you have to get an x-ray done is about a 20 minute walk away, but if it´s a nice day in Madrid it´s not a problem.

Regarding the interview, I have read information stating that women cannot bring in their purses, etc. My wife did not go with her purse and once in she asked if she could have brought it and they said it would be no problem. Take what you will from this...I´m not suggesting to go in with a backpack or a laptop, but I´m pretty sure you can bring a purse. They only made my wife leave here cell phone with the security guard at the gate. When I went with her to the interview, I asked if I could go into the Embassy with her. They said that I could not enter because I was not on the list. I did not press the issue and stayed outside. When my wife´s number got called for the interview, the consulate officer asked ¨Where is your husband?¨. She told him that the security guards would not let me in....to which he replied ¨he could have come in if he wanted¨. Maybe I should have pressed the issue more or showed him my American passport. My wife also saw other couples in the interview office waiting.....what I´m trying to say is that I´m pretty sure you have the right to go in with your husband/wife, you might have to press the issue a little bit, but hey, if you get in that´s the important thing.

Her interview was no problem. They reviewed her petition that they had recieved from the NVC (she took in copies of everything just in case) and did not ask for more passport photos, although I do suggest taking a few extra just in case. She was asked the following 3 questions: Where did you meet your husband? Where do you plan to live in the U.S.? What will you do when you are there? She responded to all of them, he said that all of the paperwork looked good to him and said ¨Congratulations, your visa is approved.¨ It will be sent to our house in about 7-10 days.

So that was our trip to Madrid! Had some sleepless nights the whole week of the trip, but if you have your paperpwork approved from the NVC and have nothing to hide (being a bone fide marriage) you should not worry! We´ve been married 7 years now and are moving to the states because the job situation is horrible here, hope everything works out!

I hope you can extract some useful information from this post and good luck with your journey!

If anyone has any questions/comments, I will be checking this post and will try to respond as best I can.

Hola!

Cuando llamas al centro médico, tienes que decirles la fecha de tu entrevista...si no la tienes todavía, esperate hasta que tengas la carta del NVC con la fecha.

El examen médico tarda una hora más o menos. Primero hablas con el médico y rellena un cuestionario que tienes que firmar con él; seguidamente te hace una oscultación muy por encima y te pasan con la enfermera. Ahí te sacan un poco de sangre y ella revisa las vacunas. Lo más importante es que tengas las tres que te ponen de pequeña, la triple vírica (sarampión, rubeola y paperas) y el tétanos. Si alguna no la tienes, no hay problema, te la ponen ellos, pero cuesta 30€ cada vacuna.

Luego te mandan al hospital el mismo día con un papel que entregas allí y te hacen la radiografía. Como mucho esperas 10 minutos en la sala de espera.

Creo que en total nos costó un par de horas, entre estar en el médico, andar hasta el hospital y la radiografía. Antes de comer acabas.

Cuando llames al centro médico te ponen una grabación que te explica qué tienes que llevar, pero asegurate de llevar el dinero en metálico, no aceptan tarjetas.

Eso es todo. Si tienes alguna pregunta más no dudes en escribirnos. Esperamos que todo os vaya muy bien y os lo concedan pronto. Mucha suerte!!

Pues muchissimas gracias por toda la informacion!!!!! :dance:

Seguro que dentro de pokito te hare algunas preguntitas mas. Ayer el NVC nos ha enviado un email diciendo que semana que viene enviara a Madrid nuestro caso. En seguida Madrid tambien nos mando otro email y dijo que ya tienen la informacion de nuestro paquete y asi que posible nos van a enviar la fecha de la entrevista. Que ganas tengo por Dios!!! Hace 11 meses que estoy lejos de mi marido y no aguanto mas... por cierto, tu has quedado en algun hotel en Madrid? Estoy haciendo busquedas de precios por la zona cerca de la embajada y como vivo em Mallorca voy a tener que gastar un paston con vuelos y hoteles...

Bueno, que Dios os bendiga y de nuevo muchas gracias.

Saludos,

Andressa.

Hola Andressa,

Me alegro que todo te va bien con el proceso!

Sobre alojamiento, personalmente yo no me quedaría cerca de la embajada porque es una zona de oficinas y no hay mucho que hacer ni ver...con eso dicho, nosotros quedamos en unos apartamentos. Tiene más espacio que un hotel y tienes una cocina, nevera, salón y wifi. Se llama apartamentos palacio real, están en la zona La Latina. Es una zona con mucho ocio, bares de tapas, y hay una parada de metro muy cerca. Es la misma linea que coges para ir a la embajada (tardas unos 10 minutos en llegar). Una buena página web para mirar hoteles y reservar es booking.com, puedes elegir muchas opciones depende de lo que buscas.

Espero que esto te ayuda un poco, y si tienes más preguntas no dudes en escribirnos!!

Saludos,

Ryan y Pamela

Ryan y Pamela, vosotros son muy amables en ayurdarme!!! Muchas gracias.

Voy a mirar los precios en la pagina de internet que me has indicado. Tu sabras decir cuales son los documentos que tendre de llevar a la entrevista? Estaba leyendo unos topicos y he visto que tendre de llevar los originales, pero, los originales se lo he enviado al NVC. Por eso me gustaria saber cuales son los documentos necesarios para ir areglando todo por aki. Creo que vosotros ya saben como es eso, de la ansiedad, y por mas que la entrevista parezca trankila, siempre nos ponemos nerviosos... yo estoy fatal! jaja pero lo que me alegra es saber que muy prontito voy a estar con mi marido finalmente.

Muchissima suerte a vosotros 2! ah! por cierto, donde van a viver en EEUU??? Nosotros vamos a Texas :)

Saludos y que tengais una semana estupenda!

Andressa y Tyler.

Hola,

Todos los originales que has mandado al NVC, obviamente no los puedes llevar el original contigo. Si quieres los originales de los documentos que has mandado al NVC, lleva una copia de cada original para ellos....se quedarán con la copia y te devolverán el documento original.

No te preocupes, que estar nervioso es normal....pero si tienes todo en orden con el papeleo, no tiene porque haber problema ninguno...

Nosotros vamos a Wisconsin, soy de allí....a pasar un poco de frío!

Que tengaís suerte con todo!

Hola Ryan, que tal va todo???

Bueno, hoy he recibido una gran noticia. Mi entrevista sera el 24 de abril. Tengo solamente 20 dias pa preparme... y estoy sin aire ya, jajaja... bueno, la question es: me podrias decir cuales son los documentos que necesitare llevar a la entrevista? Es que mañana y hasta lunes es fiesta aki, estara todo cerrado y creo que nadie me va a entregar el paquete por esos dias. La embajada solo me ha mandado el email con la fecha y la hora y no me dijo nada mas. Y me gustaria ir adelantando cositas ya.

Que guay que vives en Wisconsin, a mi me encanta el frio, pero creo que voy a pasar mucha calor en Texas jejeje... menos mal que vivere en la isla de alla, asi me quedo mas trankila pa aguantar la calor.

Muchas gracias por todo, y espero en breve venir a contar como me fue todo en Madrid.

Un gran saludo y feliz pascua a ti y a los tuyos.

Andressa.

Hola Andressa,

Me alegro oír que tienes una entrevista en unos días...cuanto más corto el proceso, mejor!

Sobre los documentos que tienes que llevar, todos los casos son diferentes, y nosotros llevamos todo lo que habíamos mandado al USCIS y el NVC + los originales de documentos que solo mandamos una fotocopia. Más que nada era para tenerlo todo a mano, nadie sabe lo que te van a pedir o no en la entrevista. Siento que no te puedo ayudar más, pero como te digo, cada caso lo toman como un mundo aparte.

Lo mejor que puedes hacer es ir a la página web oficial: http://travel.state.gov/visa/immigrants/info/info_3731.html. Esta página te dice lo que tienes que llevar.

Espero que os vaya bien en Madrid, suerte y ánimo chicos!

Gracias Ryan, por toda la ayuda.

Entonces Madrid no mandara una lista de la documentacion? Yo pensaba que llegaria un paquete como en las entrevistas de outros paises, donde la embajada envia un sobre con lo que tienes que aportar en la entrevista...

Pues ya me queda menos, mi marido llega en 10 dias a mallorca... y dia 23 tenemos los examines... e dia 24 por la tarde la entrevista! que ansiedad por Dios!

Feliz Pascoa a vosotros chicos!

Saludos

Entonces Madrid no mandara una lista de la documentacion? Yo pensaba que llegaria un paquete como en las entrevistas de outros paises, donde la embajada envia un sobre con lo que tienes que aportar en la entrevista...

Si, en función de lo que vi de otros países, yo también pensaba que la embajada enviaría un paquete. De cualquier manera, tal y cómo te aconsejaron, no viene de más llevar la documentación aportada al USCIS y al NVC, es lo que haremos nosotros. En este aspecto, prefiero prevenir e ir sobrepreparada y no necesitarlo, que no viceversa.

Ánimo Andressa que dentro de poco ya habréis acabado!!

Algunas partes de este proceso han costado un poco, otras no, lo bueno es que siga adelante y se mantenga en movimiento.

Un saludo.
