I think we're a very small group, but I'll start a thread and see if can serve as a good meeting place! My fiance and I are waiting for our interview date! When is yours? Maybe we can make an informal "Igor's List" (ok, not Igor's...) for Guatemala interviews!

Good idea! There aren't many of us on VJ and it seems like we're at various points throughout the whole immigration process. It's good to keep in touch through one thread. Sometimes I happen upon someone I didn't know about with that Guate flag somewhere random on the forum.

Hey Guatemalan applicants my is on APRIL 30 2009 at 8:00Am i will tell you how it goes ONE THING I WILL TELL YOU ALL THE APPLICANTS,TRUST GOD!!!

Good luck, TRDUSA2001! Less than a week away! What is different between the fiance and spousal interviews? Is there any difference? You will also be interviewing in Guatemala, no? Does your spouse have to attend?

Best wishes for next Thursday! Are there any other Guatemala filers who would like me to add you as "pending" to the list?
