Greetings all:

Yenys is already in Bogota today for the medical and lab exam and I will be flying in early Saturday Morning!!!!

el Parque de la 93, its called Galeria Cafe y Libro.. will be visited by us, Saturday night and we will be thinking of you guys, wishing

the best...

Our Interview is TUESDAY 5 December 2007 and Of course I will be at the Embassy with the love of my life.

I will ask as many questions there as possible that I have read here to hopefully fill you on on our APPROVAL !!!!!

But after tomorrow, I will not be on VJ, untill after the interview, because I am not bringing the laptop to Bogota.

My wife found a cute, clean hotel and its only 60,000 Pesos a night, 15 minutes from the Embassy, a $5.00 USD cab ride there.

I am soo excited to see my wife again after 3 months since my last visit and get her K3 visa to bring her back here to Miami.

See you soon and KEEP THE FAITH....GOD BLESS ALL OF YOU , AMEN

Good morning, i want to tell all that my package 3rd arrived the last 19th,but we were travel to cartagena with my boyfriend then we decided to wait and i sent the require documents the last 26th, now my boyfriend is trying to call to the NVC, but he is in his work and he hasn't much time, i'm sure the embassy just asigned the apointment date for our interview, we need to know because my boyfriend will come and he has to buy the tickets, ok for now that's all bye.

[b]***Breaking News***[/b]

Just spoke to my fiance after she returned from the DAS office in Barranquilla. As of November 1rst, they only issue Migratory Certificate (Carta del DAS, entradas/salidas) in Bogota, no other cities. She was told it will take three days in Bogota, and was not even allowed to apply for this document today. They did give her the Police Certifacate (Certificado Judical del DAS). Just thought this would be good info. to share!

Galeria Cafe y Libro... Funny you mention that place. My wife was just there last Wednesday (night before Thanksgiving) because her sister was launching her new DVD. She's the lead singer and face of Maria Mulata, if you've heard of the group. If you any of you saw the Miss Colombia pageant, she did the musical presentation when all the "reinas" came out and did their dance.

Nice! But they were closed when we got our approval at the Embassy so we stuck with a traditional Colombian place... Crepes & Waffles!!

Wishing you ten-fold that which you wish upon all others.

FYI

Regarding the Migratorio-

My wife just informed me that you can request one BY PHONE from Bogota, to be issued within that 3-day time frame and given to someone you authorize in writing if you can't be in Bogota at that point. From whatever point of the country you're at... they also told her you can request (if +3 days from request date) to pick up at a later date, before the interview itself.

Wishing you ten-fold that which you wish upon all others.

On the migratorio...for example with the policial, Leidy got it about 2 months ago, is that still good, i know its valid for 1 year but with the embassy you never know if they want it more current, ....that's the question i have with the migratorio , is it too soon to get or can shego ahead and get it already, God willing, the interview should be sometime in January.

Galeria Cafe y Libro is more of a night club place then a place to eat...I love the place, im big into salsa and thats the music they play most!
