Hey there everyone... well as you know since 2 weeks ago we've known the wifey has her interview at the embassy in Bogota on Feb. 2 and she got her Packet in Cali a week and a half ago (pretty weird knowing that the postal service in Colombia SUCKS!) and I just got a copy of that same packet 2day!

If anyone has any questions, feel free to ask, ok?!

Please wish us luck at the interview on Feb. 2!

HOLLA!!

Hi there

I just recently started posting on this website...my husband is in Cali as well and it's good to know that not all mail from the Embassy goes undelivered. I was wondering the copy of Packet 4 that you recieved does that come from NVC?

BTW best of luck to you and your wife.....ya casi termina tanto papelo. Gracias a Dios

No actually it comes straight from the Embassy in Bogota. I called them (only on Wednesdays from 2pm - 4pm) and they told me about my wifes interview and they would send the packet's (hers and a copy for me) that same day. Since I heard so much that they almost never arrived.. I was surprised me hers arrived ontime and even more surprised when I recieved mine here in NJ.

Hope this helped...

Good luck and don't hesitate if u need help... that's what errone here is for!
