:dance: Well let's see,

Packet 3 recieved after a month (mailed Sept 19th) in the mail going from one side of San Salvador to the other side. Packet 3 also recieved here in California, in Spanish on Oct. 21(it was mailed on Oct 17) I am too stressed to try an figure out why.......

The last trip I arranged for an attorney down there to assist in filling out the paperwork and guide her thru this final process (cost $90) The attorney wanted all fresh documents to replace the ones that I brought down in August when the package arrived from NVC. Re notarized all forms and sent down UPS express and should be there by Wed. The attorney say that everything should be complete and visa issued in 4 to 6 weeks.......does she really work for CSC? My hopes are up that this journey is almost complete and I will be with with the most wonderful woman that I have ever met in my life. If she is here by Christmas my joy will be complete. Anybody else dealing with El Salvador experienceing similar happiness???? :dance:
