Anyone else who have case closed in June 2018 waiting for a appointment in Guatemala??

 

Our case closed June 26th got the email 1 week later saying in queue for appointment. 

 

Please share if your also waiting for an appointment so we can know how long or when to expect an appointment also. Thanks 🙏

Hey yes, I am.

My case was closed on 5.29, although I got the official email on 6.5. @jjr is also waiting on one. I have noticed through seeing other threads that Guatemala seems to schedule around the second week of the month so hopefully we hear back today or sometime this week.

OMG congrats! me too!!!i just checked my email and there it was.  But for August 1st  at 8 am that’s in like 3 weeks. I’m freaking out you guys!! I was not expecting it to be so soon.  I’m having a hard time deciding  when to leave.. do you think a week before the interview  is good?

Yay! good for you. That is a bit scary since it's right around the corner, but you'll be fine! Good luck.

I am planning on being there 2 weeks in advance. People that I know have also left 2 to 1 1/2 weeks ahead of their interview date to be safe since I know some have had to wait on labs from the medical.

Wow , congrats you two for getting appointments. That is good to hear appointments are getting scheduled and we'll soon be next!

Thank you & am sure you're right behind us. You'll probably get early September like @jjr who's cases closed around the same day in the month as you.

Really!? I’m taking my 2 boys and I just don’t know how I’ll be able to handle everything I hope and pray I can get everything done within a week. Right now I’m just trying to gather all the paperwork needed so any advice/suggestions will be greatly appreciated!

Thank you! I agree  you’re most likely having your interview in September so I suggest you start getting ready😬

I think you'll be fine, don't worry.I called yesterday to book my appointment and I got it for August 13. When I called the receptionist told me they recommend doing the medical exam 2 weeks in advance to be on the safe side that results don't get backed up. Don't forget to fill out the cargo express form that you'll need before your interview so they know there to send your passport afterwards because I heard many people aren't aware of this until they're standing outside the embassy. I am personally staying at a hotel in Zone 10 where everything is located to get everything done. From what I hear that is the better part of the capital so yeah we'll see. Is your husband going with you?

Yes he is flying in a few days later and I was thinking about taking him to the interview but I’ve heard they don’t ppl without appt go in. I guess we’ll see. I’ll be staying with my aunt (never met before)and she’s offered to take me to all these places. I called the dr today and they schedule me for the 24th she said that I should have all the results that same week. Thank you I’ll make sure to do the cargo express. Are you going alone?

they say at Dr. Thomas office you get the medical results the same day . I've also heard your spouse and kids can go into the interview with you. I am going with my husband and 2 kids.

Yeah, I've heard that your children & spouse can go with you. I've also heard that when you go alone one of the first questions is why the person that is petitioning you is not there with you. I don't think it's required but I think it looks better if they're there. We know 2 couples who just went through it and that's what they were asked first, just make sure to take multiple copies of the email with your interview appointment. I am going with my husband and also staying part of that time with family who I haven't seen in 20 years, but I am so anxious to see them.

That's great! Am taking it like a vacation for me & my husband so we're happy to go together. I have already booked with Dr. Iris Cazali. Anything yet on the interview date?

We got it by email. I thought that I would have to call to find out but no. I got the email. To be honest I think you'll definitely get something by the end of this month. I think that taking this as a vacation is great! Time to reconnect with people we haven't seen in a long time and time to visit so many people. After so long we deserve it! I wish I could stay a month, but am already pushing it at my job lol. Are you petitioning your husband or the other way around and how long has it's been since being in Guatemala?
