Byron or anyone, I tried to use that "correspondence" to check to see if I would be able to see the packets that were sent via DHL...just to see if it works. I read in one of the topics somewhere where you can type in the word "Correspondence" and pick a date with two day window and input the origin zip code and you will be able to see the packets that went out during that time. I read it was a way to see your packet going to Embassy wihout waiting on the Embassy to notify when they recieve the packet...can any one varify. I tried it and it has given me an error message.
Thnx

Hello guys, café internet once again...
So we waited for it to be 6PM yesterday for the shot he needed and strangely enough there were a few people from the lab place waiting outside as well... hmmm... interesting I thought. Husband goes in at 5:50PM and leaves at 7:30PM. I waited at the next cafeteria waiting for him and was asked to give up the table I was sitting in because I was there for over an hour. So then my husband comes out and says "that jerk asked 22 people from the medical to come back and have their shots re-taken" 22!!!!!!!!!!!!! He told a lady from Medellín who was there with her sons that they needed all shots even though they had taken them at the Cruz Roja a couple of weeks ago. My husband only "needed" one. Now if he had 22 people come back for shots and told them they couldn´t go anywhere else to get them, you do the math, all of that equals $$$$. I´m only telling you our story so you´re ready. Tell your SOs to get their shots no earlier than a week in advance just in case and it´s up to you to go see this Roa guy. It was a total nightmare.
Anyway, we´re getting ready for the interview. The apartment is awesome, we have it all to ourselves and we´re very comfortable, so thanks to Lucho for the reference.
I forgot to congratulate everyone else, specially Scott!!!! And did Byron get his NOA2 yet, I don´t think I read that in here but then again I´m always in such a rush at these places.
See ya guys!!!

For the life of me, I can not remember the name of the women doctor that gives the med exam!!!!!!! Paola went to her, a total breeze, no problems. Her vaccinations were done months before. One note though, she did have to get totaly naked, if your shy in front of the opposit sex, it may not be for you. I would take her over the male doc any time.
Wow Diana, i really have had bad vibes about this Dr. Roa,,,i forgot what it was i read that happened to someone with him but regardless, now after reading your situation i am definately having Leidy go to the female Dr......can't remember her name right now? Just sems like a man full of himself because he happens to be "one " of the Dr's who does work for the embassy!! And he is making the honest Dr's look bad by saying they have to get the vaccines from him, obviously trying to make extra $$$....By the way Diana ...no NOA2 yet 
...tomorrow will be day 128...my fingers are crossed!!! Suerte en la entrevista!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Que Diosito este con los dos y tranquilla que todo les sale bien!!!!!!!!!!!!

Oscar used the female doctor as well. She was great. We used her based on the recomendations given by others in this group. Her name and contact info is in the Embassy description page here in VJ.
Diana, I wish you the best at your interview!!!!

I started out in reverese and just caught up to some of the goings on...sorry I've been out of touch lately.
1. Diana and Paola....I wish you both the best on Thursday, you're both in my prayers.
2. Buck....take it easy these next two days. Its going to work out just fine. I know that if you could, you'd be there.
3. Lucho....thank you soooo much for picking up the torch for Mike and TonyS...you've become a fountain of knowledge for those behind you. I know that you've invested a great deal of time and continue to selflessly help your fellow VJers and I thank you for all of us.
4. Scott...congrats on you're approval!
I'm sure I've missed much more, but I've been working 14 hour days and I'm pooooped.
Chaooooo.....

Byron,
I have a little trick for you that may give you a little piece of mind. Receipt numbers are sequencial, right? So in theory you can screen the on-line status of cases received around the time of yours. I guess if the system is working, you should see other previous cases getting approved, so that would be an indication that you are next (or, worse case, if you see other cases already approved and nothing with yours, then that could trigger some action on your side).
Let me explain: your case number should be something like CSC XXXXXX1462. What if you go on line and check for the status of cases:
CSC XXXXXX1062
CSC XXXXXX0962
CSC XXXXXX0652
and so on. Then you can track them in Excel, for example. Just one word of advice: I believe you can't check more than 7 or 8 cases in a short period of time, or your machine will be blocked for a day or two.
Hope it helps!

Diana:
Gracias por tus recomendaciones!! yo me tomé las vacunas hace meses con mi medicina prepagada y según ellos solo me falta la tercera dosis de la de hepatitis c en noviembre y listo, pregunté esto temiendo que ellos pidan refuerzos pero médicamente no es posible antes de los tiempos de vencimiento establecidos en el certificado...pensaba ir al Dr Roa pues queda cerca de mi casa y ademas les comento que es médico adscrito a mi medicina prepagada (es neumólogo adscrito a Colmédica)lo vi en la lista de médicos, pero prefiero ir donde la doctora aunque me quede lejos y no darle gusto a semejante pillo...pues tu esposo podía ir perfectamente a Hacienda Santa Bárbara que queda ahí mismo y tomarse la vacuna faltante en la Cruz Roja que está a la altura del parqueadero...claramente la idea era $$$$$, falta de ética...
Estas son los consejos que realmente hacen super valioso este foro....
Muchisimas gracias y mil éxitos mañana en tu entrevista y para Buck también!!!

That idea wouldnt work. This idea has been brought up a few times on other forums. It is illegal to do that. The timelines serve the same purpose so why risk it??

Carlos, thanks , i did read the post and actually someone brought this method up before.....I am a litytle skeptical about trying to sneak through gov't info, im so close , i hope, to getting the NOA2 that i might actually hurt myself by trying this...
I appreciate your help Carlos!! I think i'll wait it out.
Just currently my fiancee submitted her request for Certificado Migratorio. I wanted to ask if she would take take a trip, within the country and not outside would we have to request another cert. migratorio. when she returns from her trip.
Thanks in advance,

I know Lucho just mentioned this about 3 posts ago but I want to make sure that we don't have to send more info by mail than by fax.
Same packet 3 info is sent, whether my fax or my courier.

P.S Recieved NOA2 hardcopy today!!!!!!!
I'm preparing for the packet 3 "shortcut" and my question is...Should the documents that we mail to the embassy via courier be the same ones that we fax...no more no less?
Packet 3 Contents:
1. Cover letter (The cover letter should be simple and brief. Include the BGT case #
on the cover letter)
2. Copy of fiancée's passport (biographical data page)
3. DS-230 Part 1 (pages 1 & 2)
4. OF-169

I know Lucho just mentioned this about 3 posts ago but I want to make sure that we don't have to send more info by mail than by fax.

Hey if you need a cover letter for your packet 3, PM me with your email.
Poalo is i the hotel room in Bogota, waiting foeme to call her and wake her up at 5:00am. I need to wake up at 3:00am my time to call her. I doubt I will get much sleep after. One good thing, by 10:00am my time I should be able to call her and find out the results.
She does have to go thru the interview process again. I was under the inpression from the CO that she did not have to do that. Not true. It seems they want to grill her again! LOL. LOL. Actually, when I was down there with her, the interview part was very easy and short. I am hoping for the same this time. There is the unknown though. I will post as soon as I have info.
GOOD LUCK DIANA & PAOLA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

For all of you newer folks...just so you know...there is no "official" cover letter. Just write one. It's easy. You should already have experience writing a cover letter to go with your I-129F.
Here's some suggestions for content:
1) Date of fax/mailing
2) Addressed to embassy visa section
3) Your BGT case number
4) Statement of what you are requesting (an interview)
5) Summary of documents that are included
6) Method of contacting the beneficiary and petitioner (phone number and e-mail)
7) Signed by petitioner
Good luck,
Mike

Paola just called..........................SHE GOT APPROVED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! WAHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The guy I talked to at the embassy mislead me, she DID NOT have to have another interview. She showed them the Police Certificate from Panama, they said, very good, thank you. Come back on Monday and get your visa.
That is all I have tight now. Details to follow when she gets back to Bob's office and I have a better translation of the details. Most of what i got out of Paola was squeals and sensless jabber comming at me about 100 MPH.
