I got a phone call early this morning from the US Embassy in Nicaragua, "we've heard from CIS in Honduras your petition has been re-approved and you are ready to proceed, if you can be here at 11:00 this morning, we'll do you final interview" She went on to say she wanted to call us personally and tell us the good news. The wait is finally over, now we can start moving on with our lives.

At the Embassy, everything was done in less than an hour. So now, the hard part is done, we have our visa. The total time from the day we walked into the Embassy to file and get started, plus going through the Adam Walsh fiasco and finally getting our visa in hand was just 67 days. Not bad. But the hard part was the "not knowing" being in limbo and not being able to find any "real" answers from anyone. The only information i was able to get that was worth while was from the people in this forum VJ, who wrote in and told of their experiences. Thanks to all of you for doing that. Our hearts go out to the rest of you who are still waiting to hear something so you can continue on with your lives, it will come. I know that doesn't matter too much to you, the only thing that will matter to you is when you get the information that your visa has been approved, only then will you be really happy. Don't worry, that day will come
