My fiance's interview is one week from today and I am getting very nervous as well. His interview is at 12:00 and he is planning to arrive an hour early. From what I have been reading he is expecting to be there for somewhere around 3 hours.

Relax as much as you can, eat something that morning and just try to have faith that this craziness is almost over. Good luck. I am sure things will go fine but I know it is nearly impossible not to freak out!

This is a bit late! But thank you! and Congratulations for the K-1!!! I think I'll go have breakfast at Mc'Donalds that is just around the corner around 6:00 am LOL

The traffic over here sucks! I live 15 miles away from the Consulate, but it could easily take me 1.5 hours to get there in the rush hour! So I plan to be in the area, very early and go to the Embassy 1 hour in advanced.

My fiancee and arrived at the embassy 50 minutes late, sort of.

In Costa Rica, they tell everybody to arrive 12-1:30pm. We got there at 12:50, we were out at 3pm exactly.

I'm glad it all worked out fine! I'd go crazy if I get stuck on traffic and arrive late!

Off the topic, but I wanted to ask you, do they have the same custom in Costa Rica to arrive late to meetings and reunions? Here in Guatemala,they have (I say they, cuz I try my best not to do it), the "guatemalan time", which means 30 minutes to 1 hour late. It just drives me insane! LOL

...this is briefly what happened i still havnt FULLY gotten the entire story of what happen but it seems like evrything went FINE!

So we had our first interview.. it went really well, The lady was really nice to my hubby and we got our second interview date for

5-9-2008! My husband got a yellow slip that said "case is completed and review, just need the second interview with the embassy."

He was asked who i was, and who were his co sponsors. The Embassy also returned SOME original documents to him that we had sent to the NVC. They also took fingerprints.

My hubby said that they were mainly focused on the I-864...my hubby had the 2007 taxes with him also but they did not ask for that. (which is good)...this all took about 2 hours....

so now we wait until 5-9-2008 our second interview!

Im guessing at the second interview they will ask more question and want to see pictures and evidence...

GOD IS GOOD TO US!!!
