Thank you all for supporting the OP, and just a reminder that those who have nothing useful to add to the discussion should just not add anything.

I wish you the best of lucks and just a quick advice if you haven't bought your ticket, don't buy it to ciudad Juarez, buy it to el paso because the planes that go to ciudad Juarez go to mexico city first and is an unecesary connection and would probably be more expensive.

And yeah to the one who said Cd. Juarez was like vacation, is not. I mean you don't see the cartel people in every corner, but you do see the MP in trucks with guns andeverything, also be prepared for the heat, is almost unbearable, everything has AC but is still really hot when you are on the street

Mu husband told me itwas extremely hot. And yes, I know Juarez is not a vacation! I did already llok into airline tickets and realized flying to El Paso was the best deal by far. I contacted Victor for a ride from the airport straight to my hotel.

Thanks again for the "heads up"

Well I have my interview date with my husband at the embassy on Aug 24th. I have collected 14 letters from friends and family proving we have a bona fide marriage. I have been racking my brain over what else can I bring. Does anyone have suggestions? Like I said before, I have already sent 40-50 photos, over a dozen of each letters, cards, envelopes, wedding congrats. I have a few bills in both our names. I have copies of my insurance policy where he is the benificary and also on my dental plan.

Should I print out our text and phone call logs over the last 2 weeks since he has been gone? I want to be totally prepared!

I will be grateful for any advice!

Thanks

Gayla

Bring all that and more pictures if you can, when i went to my regular interview i brought our full wedding album, and lots of random pictures of us together with friends, family, etc. Also reciepts of hotels, or plane tickets and stuff like that, everything and anything that proves that you share a marital life even from appart.

Again i wish you the best of lucks and you'll be in my prayers

Bring EVERYTHING you can (i.e. how about every single picture you've ever taken together?)! Make it so there's nothing you're not giving them.

Our timeline:

2/88: We met in Sydney, Australia at a youth hostel! He's Finnish, I'm American-both were in our early 20s at the time and fresh out of college (so couldn't afford to visit each other's countries after that!). We had a three-day romance, then went our separate ways. He actually was going to Sydney a week later, but decided at the last minute to cut his trip short in another country and go early. Wow.

1988-1998: Wrote "snail mail" letters/sent Xmas cards, but lived our separate lives. I married someone else, divorced in 2006...he lived with someone for years and then that ended.

10/08: Because of a series of random life events, I Googled my Finn Man and found him (but no link to his email, and the website his name was on was in Estonian so I couldn't even read it!). It took me two weeks to find a link to someone else, who forwarded my email to him (we were both single at the time thankfully!!!!). The email went to his spam folder but he happened to check it that day and responded back to me immediately! This was after 10 years of no contact and almost 21 years of not seeing each other after we first met.

11/08-5/09: We traveled back and forth to visit each other. Love at first (second?) sight!

7/09: Married in Helsinki, Finland...after meeting randomly 21 1/2 years ago and finding each other again!!!!!

8/13/09: I-130 sent!!!!!!!!!

Rest is on my timeline!

Hello all!

Just wanted to let you know we did get approved to file for the waiver! YEA!!!!

The interview was exactly like what I thought. A 5 minute interview where the gentleman sat there and tried to make us look foolish because of our age difference. Nothing else was discussed, only the age difference,He WOULD NOT look at anything I brought. Only photos which he briefly looked at for 30 seconds. It was a joke, but I stood my ground and we were approved. I was so angry though that after everythgin I had gathered and all the eveidence I had brought, he wanted nothing to do with it. Oh well its done.

Gerardo's waiver interview is Oct 22. Has anyone had any luck in calling to get the appointments moved up? If so, how often did you call, what time of day? I was thinking of maybe calling 2 times a week and maybe see if we can get lucky!
