Just wanted to share that my wife had her interview yesterday and her visa was APPROVED! It's been a long road, not helped by a couple dumb mistakes on our part and a clueless "abogado" in Chile.

I'll try to get more details from my wife about the interview and post in the embassy review section. I know we shouldn't have been too nervous, we've been married long enough (2.5 years) that she knows me and my family well. And I gave her a three-ring binder full of documents (copies of what we sent to NVC, as well as proof of relationship), I told her to walk in with it as though she was an attorney, that she should intimidate them with how much proof she had. The only small trip up she had was when they pressed her for details on exactly where the town is where I live; it's a town of about 100 people in a very rural area, so no one had heard of it, and it's not really that close to any major metro area.

Anyway, just want to chime in with another success story, for those of you still in the process, keep the faith.
