Congratulations Dre!

I hope you will not be a stranger here now that your are involved with the AOS.

JFK seems like it would be a detour. Did he fly into JFK in the hope that he would receive an EAD?

Bad news you guys, maybe you've seen this already and I'm not sure if it has been verified with the embassy or not. But it looks like as of November 19th, the embassy in Bogotá will deliver the visas to the beneficiaries instead of picking them up 48 hours later.

I found it on here http://www.visajourney.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=96213

Scott, since you're the next one up, can please confirm this information for everyone else. It's a real bummer if it's true.

Hello everyone. I am not sure if anyone has responded to this yet, I am a bit behind of the forum happenings. Lina and I actually went to her interview today. I will post up more details when I get home in about a week. The quick and dirty version is that we showed up about 6am and went straight for line number three as per instructions here on the board. Waited for a while inside the embassy...take a jacket it is cold. The interview itself was done by a male CO and lasted maybe five minutes (no that is not an exaggeration). He only spoke to Lina and didn't ask to see any of our pictures or emails. In response to what you wrote Diana, yes picking up is no longer an option. The service cost 50 000 COP and takes about eight days (or so they said) to get to whatever city you want to have it sent to. I don't think things would have gone so well had it not been for the help I got here and I hope this can help somebody else. Good luck to everyone waiting, and thanks to everyone that helped out.

Congratulations! How do I sign up for one of the 5 minute interviews? Do you have any sense of what was in your package that precluded them asking many questions about the validity of the relationship?

Also, could you fill out your VJ timeline? It will help make the VJ stats as accurate as possible.

I guess waiting for 8 days to receive the visa is no big deal when compared to the length of this entire process but it really bugs me. It will mean that flights can't be booked and plans finalized because no one will know when exactly they will have their visas. Plus someone will need to be at home at all times for fear that they will miss the courier.

Scott, it sounds like you can specify where to deliver the visa. Since you will be in Bogota maybe the courier will deliver your's quickly.

Wow congrats to Jmarsh. 5 minutes beats our 8 minutes.

It seems like we had the same CO... only difference is that I actually had a chat with the CO for a couple of minutes. And I do mean chat. He asked me how much I liked Japan when I was there, etc.

A blonde guy?

Tonight i realized how much all of you guys prayers were needed!! I ate dinner and then Leidy's mom called me, so we called Leidy 3 way and started talking to her since they moved hr out of the intensive care unit...so we were talking then Leidy started telling something that i didnt know and that made me start shaking and i had to tell Leidy and her mom to hold oncause i felt my food coming up my chest, she told me that they had to use the machine that gives you an electric shock to try to bring you back when your heart stops!! I couldnt believe what i was hearing!! So basically Leidy was gone for a moment!!! This is why i say that all your prayers are SOOO appreciated!!!! Thank God she is getting better now!!!!!!! I could not imagine having to deal with something happening to her!!!!

THANK YOU GUYS!!!!
