Well...I guess we can't complain because we were approved, and he went without me, the US Petitioner. We were waiting for a potential December interview date, and on Halloween night I got an email from the Embassy saying they'd had a cancellation for 11/7/06 and suggested we take it, which we did. So George had his interview before he had his medical. At the interview, they gave him a blue sheet, because he had to come back with the medical, and they also asked him for records of money transfers (this was the first time I'd heard them asking for that, but it's actually a preparinted item on the blue sheet) and his phone records. This was an issue, because we'd already tried to get his phone records from Cable and Wireless, but were told they don't provide records for prepaid cell phones. HOwever, the Embassy interviewer told George to bring the blue sheet and they would provide the records. It took a while to get Cable and Wireless to actually cough up the records, but they finally did. So, George went back on NOvember 21st at 12:30 and was told it was too late, they would only take blue sheet interviews between 11:30 and 12:30--wasted trip. He went back the following week, 11/28, at 11:00 am, and was told (BELIEVE IT OR NOT) that he was too late, they'd already taken all the blue sheets they would take that day. So I called inside the embassy and just really persisted until some helpful woman finally said, OK, what does he look like? and she had a security guard find him outside, and they agreed to see him at 2:30. He said he was asked pretty much the same questions as the first time, nothing surprising, and he was told he was approved. Now, we are just waiting for the actual visa to materialize. We were told it would take about 5 business day for it to show up at Airpak Courier in Montego Bay, so we had plane ticket for today, 12/6, because it should have arrived by 12/5. It didn't and no one seems to know yet where it is. I strongly suggest people pick up their visa at the Embassy if they are allowed.
