Approval in Bogota!

well, after never receiving packets 3 or 4 in the mail (even though the embassy swore on their life that they sent them), we finally made it tot the interview. carlos arrived at 5:30am thinking he would be the first person in line for interviews that were to start at 7:00am. well, when he got there, despite the rain and the cold, he was 10th in line! things proceeded as one would expect and he finally got his interview at around 9. several questions were asked of him, besides the typical "where did you meet?" he was asked:

1) where did you learn english?

2) how did you meet?

3) what university did your fiancee attend (now, i thought this was a little weird bc even though i know that carlos went to university myself, i have not clue what it was called. so, carlos got a bit nervous when he did not know the answer. regardless things went smooth)?

4) does she have a car?

5) are you sure you want to move to chicago (man, our weather always gets such a bad rap!)

and, the gentle man who interviewed him ended with, "you are approved."

SWEET!!!

Congratulations. I know what a relief this is to be over.

I do have to agree with the consular officer though. The weather in Chicago does suck!!! Especially if you live in Bogota. There is something strange about their constant climate that makes them cold all of the time. When it is 60 F they are all in jackets and gloves like they are in the arctic.
