I got approved!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Now the famous dhl wait. Thanks everyone for their support and their knowledge.

Regarding the payment it was indeed 1900 pesos. It is significantly less now because the dollar now is at 13,50 and a couple of months back got to be around 16.00.

Either way. Cheers everyone and now I can finally relax.

Thanks a lot to everyone who makes this site so incredibly useful.

Cheers!

CONGRATULATIONS!!!!

Anything unusual in your process besides the fact that they charge less now???

stress is all I am having these days my fiance is going to his interview this week I just want an answer already so I can relax good thing it is almost here, but for right now I am just going over all the paper work mentally making sure I forgot nothing which I don't know if it is good or bad

For my affidavit of support I just included this years tax return is that enough? or should I include previous years, How about letter from bank, or employment letter?

I should really take a deep breath because this cannot be good for me

I sent everything that alfredo would possibly need. taxes for the last 2 years, (since that is all i had filed b/c of my age), and copies of that years w2s, i got a letter from the bank to show assets, and i sent copies of my 3 titles to my vehicles as assets. i also sent a letter showing that alfredo had a job waiting here, and proof of his tax info (from his h2b visas that he had in the past), i pretty much used the exact same stuff for the paperwork i did for AOS, just fill out a different form.

Has anyone went thru the process with a dependant?? I am still trying to figure out what paperwork if any I need to bring for my fiance's son. Thanks all!!!

What are your specific questions? Is your fiance's son getting a K2 visa? If so, you need to fill out the DS-156 for the child, have an original birth certificate and passport. Also, the child will need to have a medical exam and if the child is under 14, the results will take 72 hours to be ready. You have to pay the visa fee for both the K1 and K2 and the child needs to attend the interview.

If you have more specific questions, ask me and I'll try to help. I just went through the process with a K2 a little over a month ago.

I was just wondering what applications we need to have filled out for him. I searched and searched and all I could find was a o-156 and that isn't used anymore I dont think. We did also fillout the new DS-160 online. I want to make sure I have EVERYTHING we need. We have originals and copies of the birth certificates (long and short versions). We just got his passport and we are leaving tomorrow so we can get the Medical Exams started. Just trying to be as prepared as possible and now I am freaking out because we leave tomorrow!!!

Please, somebody correct me if I am wrong but Juarez still isn't using the DS-160. They are still using only the DS-156. That was all that was asked for about 6 weeks ago when my fiance and her daughter were there. How old is the child? Someone help me out here but I think all males over 18 need to fill out the DS-157 as well. I know it's not asked for by the CO sometimes but the instructions say that all males over a certain age must fill it out and bring it. So if you can tell me his age, I can help you a little more and tell you exactly what you need to do.

Did you also have to pay in pesos? How about for the medical pesos or dolllars?

Congrats epifreak!!!!

After all that stress before and during the interview and finally being approved I got back to the hotel to take a nap. When I woke up it was around 2 and I checked the DHL website and to my surprise the VISA was ready and waiting for me. I just got back from going and picking it up. I'm just so surprised about how lightning fast the interview and getting the visa was. The medical was another story but whatever it's done.

To answer some of the recent questions.

They are still not using the DS-160.

They did ask me for the DS-157.

At the clinic you can pay with pesos or dollars for the medical exam.

For the visa fee at the bank you have to use pesos.

Regarding the questions about the interview. It's pretty much what everyone have posted. In my case it was very fast. I think it was that fast because we sent a huge I-129F that the interviewer was reviewing. The only thing extra he asked were pictures. That was my case, either way come prepared with lots of things.

Cheers everyone and good luck!

To some degree you can give thanks to the "Swine Flu". Since the Consulate Offices were closed for over a week, DHL really didn't have a backlog of visas to issue. So for now, we can say the turn around time is fast.

Thanks all of you guys for everything I don't think we could have ever done it without everyone here being so helpful.

Well to answer some of you guys questions pretty much David-J covers it.

Even though we did take the DS-160 , they asked for the DS-156.( We had both just in case) They didn't ask for any of the Afidavit Supports or anything to demonstrate our financial status. At the interview they only asked him how we met and if we had any pictures. That's pretty much it. He was out pretty early but because he rides the bus it took him a while to get home.

Nothing out of the ordinary or anything.

Good Luck to all of you guys that are getting ready to go to your interviews. I wish you all the best.

For the medical we paid in dollars. I think that the problem is with the bank taking dollars.

He is 3 years old. I didnt know for sure if they were using the DS-160, I just filled it out anyways. I did the DS-156 for him already and I will do a DS-157 tomorro just in case. I head out in the afternoon. She is there now and they are doing their Medical's in the morning. Again thanks for your advice!
