I want my wife with me here right now! and yes! I don't care what you think about my timeline and if I have waited "enough" or not compared to other people.

My goodness, what an inappropriate reaction. Calm down, we all want to be with our loved ones. Nica wasn't criticizing you, she was just saying how unfair the system is, and I think if you compare your timeline with hers, she has every right to say that. That isn't a reflection on you, but on USCIS. This is a stressful process, no need to make it more so by lashing out at people.

The great thing is in another month or so we'll be able to look back on this entire process and smile!!! On the other hand, I think Nica just stated what everyone including myself actually felt....simply how unfair this entire process is. We are all here trying to accomplish the same goals, and we use these forums to help one another get through the tough moments in this process. If the shoe were on the other foot I am sure you would feel the same way...so lets get back to being civil as we wait out the last few days to get our SO here! :thumbs:

I hear you!

It has being painful, hasn't it?

But...it's not time to feel bad or being mad, I have your same timeline and I know how painful has being all this, believe me, I know! Specially when we have been waiting for this time to come since 4 years ago...

And now...it's just time to get ready for our loved ones and smile and be happy because so soon we will get what we are waiting for so long...

I'm so scared of all this ending...you can't imagine, I just can't sleep wondering what if...I'm so full of fears right now when the time is coming...but we have to calm down and be just ready.

Cheer up and think in a positive way is my advice ^_^;):whistle:

Hehe I know! Most of the people I was taking the tests and medical examination with they had interviews this week, I was the only one for May :( I guess I was the only one from Bogota and had that privilege to do it earlier...

For your wife...if she has all the vaccines it will be easier, I got all of them at International Red Cross but most of the people I was with they took the missing vaccines at "Cardio infantil" (hospital) same building I had the appointment, the doctor sent people to take the vaccines in the same building, I guess is cheaper and they are valid too...my advice...taking them soon, because when I got them I got sick, so the sooner the better for the body to recover, don't know it's my advice because I got really sick with all that bunch of vaccinations...

If she has any question about that step I can help ;) I wish I had someone to ask about that process here in Bogota, it's scary when you don't know.

Oh and if she wears glasses...bring them!!! I wear them only for computer and didn't bring them and of course they took that eye test (reading letters), it was painful for me without my glasses :crying: ...just saying

Interview in 5 days!! Luckily we've been really busy the past few days so we haven't had much time to dwell on it or be nervous. I just picked up my husband's medical report from the Panel Physician to take to the interview so now all that's left is the actual interview!
