Congrats to Edwin on your recent approval!!! I will apologize first for not posting up a little sooner since I know that this DOMESA issue has several people worried. I will apologize second for the bad news...our interview was on the Monday the 19th and Lina still hasn't been able to pick up her visa. We have called everyday and been getting the same answer...call back tomorrow and hopefully it will be in then. I will keep you guys updated on exactly when our visa is available. We were originally told the same 8- 10 days, but that it was a very good possibility that it would be ready in just a couple. Maybe things are moving slowly due to the newness of the process, but that does throw off travel plans. Good luck!!!

"Congratulations" on your success in Bogota and thanks for the update Jmarsh...

Since you are the first to go through the embassy with the new visa delivery, you will be able to provide a ballpark schedule of delivery for the rest of us.

Enjoy your time in Bogota!!! :dance: Thanks again and keep us posted!!!

This waiting period to pick up the visa once approved is going to create travel problems for many! Hopefully someone will discover a "shortcut" to this problem as well. I believe all of us want to return with our significant other.

Good luck Brian and Yenys, I am sure everything will go great for you guys. Update on the DOMESA pickup. Lina told me she spoke to the reps and can pick the visa up today. This makes day number eight since the interview. That is the date that DOMESA projects too, so at least they are keeping their word on that. Anyway I hope this helps some of you guys out. By the way, is there a forum for the AOS or life in America or anything like that? Take care guys.

AWESOME...THANKS JMARSH

Now just thinking out loud...approved on Monday the 19th...

Tuesday the 20th - 1st full day after interview...

Wednesday the 21st - 1/2 day for the embassy...

Thursday the 22nd - embassy closed...

Friday the 23rd - full day for the embassy (a total of 2 1/2 days so far)...

Monday the 26th - full day for the embassy (a total of 3 1/2 days)...pickup from DOMESA Tuesday.

In Jmarsh's case it was a total of 3 1/2 working days to receipt of visa...not totally outrageous.

Brian and Yenys...you guys are next...if you can, please keep us updated.

BUENO SUERTE!!! :thumbs:

On wednesday (tomorrow) you should call the embassy between 2-4 and verify they have it. It really is NOT necessary to also mail it, but since you already did, thats ok, just extra money spent. We never mailed ours and just faxed on monday and called on wed. and they recieved it and gave us the interview date. Since its now the end of November, you should have a January interview date, because the cutoff is the 15th of the month for the next months interviews. Everything will happen fast now for you, get all your documents required ready now.

Scott and Yenifer have posted the updated flow chart and advice and has links for both package 3 and package 4. Download them now and start preparing your needed documents.

Congratulations, your almost there now, Best of luck and helath and Happiness to you and yours--GOD BLESS YOU
