Panama Filers

[dwilder 74]

Just just got our notification in the mail that our interview is scheduled for June 13th.  Not sure is Tampa is just fast or if processing times are quicker now.  Thought it was going to take way way longer.  Hope you guys all fair as well also!

Have you already received your combo card (if you applied for it)?

Nope no combo card yet, but we did apply for it.

 

From some of the reviews I read on here about the Tampa field office, similar situations have occurred.  The officers end up canceling the combo card because the interview happens so soon.

 

It's kinda crazy.  How do the reviews look at your local office? @SteVas

Backlogged!!! At Dallas Field Office we're looking about 2 years. I'm hoping it goes quicker but Dallas has one of the highest wait times. Maybe I should move to Tampa!

Hello guys. How long take the panama embassy for contact me after they receive my file?  Thanks 

[TandClaudia 330]

It doesn't look like there's much activity in this thread right now.

 

We are still waiting for our file to reach the NVC and be assigned a case number. 

 

I'll try to supply as much information as possible to help future Panama filers.

It takes about a week for them to contact you. You can speed up the process by contacting them. Go ahead and send your Profile page, DS160 and a scanned copy of your bank receipt. That will pretty much bypass them sending you the P3 and they will send P4 so you can schedule your medical instead.

 Most are pretty much in a holding pattern for those who have received their K1 Visa. Awaiting AOS which could be short or very long depending your assigned local field office.

All went well! 

 

Didn't really ask too may questions. Asked how we met, if we had any additional documents we would like added to our file. (We brought in our ultrasounds, because we are newly expecting).  So most of our questions/talk revolved around babies and tips for making a marriage work.

 

Nothing like I was expecting, but he did mention they have the authority to ask all sorts of questions such as who is 3rd in the line of succession for the presidency.  Sounds like they can dig very deep if they feel like it.

 

I wish you all the best!!  Our appointment was at 7:30, they wouldn't let our wave of interviews into the building until that exact time.  They took us back to the room around 8:20 and we were out the door by 9am. I'm thinking this all varies by location but wasn't too bad!
