Thanks Lucy!

Uriel is there now and has completed the Medical exam and is waiting for the pick up of the results at 2:00. He tried to pay for the visa today and the bank was closed because of some holiday, so now he will have to wait in line to do this in the morning before the interview. Hopefully that will all work out.

We are so excited that this is all finally happening.

He did find a hotel, not sure which one yet, but he was ok with it.

Will keep you all updated!

Please pray!

Danielle

Hi Danielle,

Yes the hotel we stayed at was the Hotel Monaco. It is within walking distance or a very short taxi ride. It is on the corner of "El Triunfo de la Republica" and Lopez Mateos. There is a shopping mall directly across the steet. It is about 3 - 4 blocks away. It was also pretty safe. I drove and parked the car there in their parking space. It has a guard. It is not fancy or anything, but it was decent. I wouldn't recommend the food there. A family member told me about the hotel so it turned out for the best. They charge you on a daily basis and if you pay in advance they gave us a discount. I don't recall exactly how much though, but since we stayed 5 days it came out to about $30/night.

Good luck to all who are headed that way! They also took my birth certificate, but I think he just handed everything! The funny thing was they didn't take any financial documents (which turned out for the best now I filed the AOS).

Again, GOOD LUCK!! :)

Here is what Roberto writes about his interview day: Mi experiencia fue de la siguiente manera: Fue tardado y tedioso todo el proceso de la visa. Al decir lo anterior es en función a la espera ya

Good luck with your husband`s appointment, Danielle.

I`m glad to hear about the Hotel Monaco- I saw their web page and another for a Hotel Impala and they both sounded reasonable. But it said $350 and $400 per night and I wasn`t positive that those prices were in Pesos. I know a lot of business is done in Dollars there even when it doesn`t involve gringos. We have an appointment on the 28th and I`m driving, so I need a place with secure parking too.

Thanks Emma but you won't see a smiley on mine for many many months - they are currently working on MARCH/APRIL right now and we submitted in NOVEMBER!

That's ok, I'm back and forth every 6-8 weeks so we'll survive!
