That would be great if you could post your experience, lucy4. By the way, how did the interview go? :)

Thanks for asking. The interview went. lol. not so well though. It wasnt difficult, and overall the process was pretty straight forward, but we pretty much ended with an RFE. He had to send some more info, which was sent to them the next day, so hopefully by next week (if they are finally satisfied) he should have his visa in hand. It was all pretty well, just a little disheartening to have to leave after all of that without the visa in hand.

Sorry to hear you guys ended with an RFE. :angry: I hope you guys hear from them soon and that your fiance gets his visa asap. I will keep you guys in my thoughts and prayers. Let us know when your SO gets the visa so we can do the dance for you. :)

my word of advice, make sure BOTH parents names are listed on his birth certificate. He had to send them an updated BC, and also his old passport. He didnt have that with him, so we sent them out DHL the following day.

My finance still hasn't received anything from Barbados. They said that the packet was mailed on the 7th of this month, and when I asked why it was taking so long they resent another one on the 21st.

St. Vincent is right next to Barbados there is NO reason it should be taking this long.

This whole process is extremely frustrating!

EmpressM, did they send it by snail mail? I can't believe that the mail is taking so long to send it to St. Vincent. I wonder how long it's going to take from Barbados to St. Lucia. If i remember correctly, I read on MIDUVIL's post that they waited 3 weeks for the mail to arrive - and they are IN Barbados. That's crazy. Well I hope you guys get your Packet 3 soon. Keep us posted.

Wow, EmpressM do you know I never realized that you had been approved and waiting for packet 3. I would have given you advice. My advice to anyone in the caribbean dealing with this process is DO NOT WAIT. Take it in your own hands, and send them what is needed. Now that youve finally gotten the packet, make sure you do not use Snail Mail, I would use DHL since it seems like that is their preferred carrier. Also make sure to follow up once the packet is received because your interview date can sail right past you waiting for your appointment letter in the mail.

I will post a thread a lil later detailing my experience at the Bridgetown embassy for you two ladies. :thumbs:

I was thinking about sending the documents in without waiting any longer for them and around that time is when they finally arrived... My fiance mailed packet three back this morning via DHL it will be there by tomorrow morning. I will make sure to follow up with them about the interview because I was afraid of that exact thing; us not getting packet four until after the interview date.

I will be waiting for that post, any help at all will be greatly appreciated!

I hope your situation gets straightened up and you get the visa in the next couple days. Good Luck.

That would be great if you could post your experience, lucy4. By the way, how did the interview go? :)
