Greetings all, just had our interview today and it went great , just a couple hickups..... Didnt bring the reciept for payment to the embassy, so i had to go to the internet cafe accross the street to print it out...the security let me just come back in without waiting in line again which was nice.....when we went to the first window (la colombiana) she was so nice and quick i didnt think that it was an interview , the only questions she asked my fiance was my full name and my phone number.......we waited and waited and waited some more, we passed the time helping this woman fill out the 230 forms for her and her 2 kids since she spoke no english and i was the only gringo there ( besides the embassy personell).....by the way, the 230 form was not on the list of forms at the embassy, so we didnt even take it out of our envelope.....i am in no way suggesting not bringing it, just an observation...... 3 hrs later when they called her to the window the lady was very serious, asked all of the standard questions, where met, when engaged? Blah blah blah..... Theere were a couple things that raised her eyebrows.... The fact that ive been in colombia for three months.... She even said " americans dont take 4 month vacations", my fiance simply replied i have my own business so i can do what i want...... The other thing which was MAJOR is we didnt bring receipts from the money i sent western union..... Didnt think it was a big deal since we had an abundance of other evidence, photos , skype history, boarding passes, etc....... The lady was stuck on wanting these receipts, in fact, she did not ask for 1 other piece of evidence, she said " you need to bring those receipts" and i was diying inside..... But before i knew it the lady behind the window smiled and my baby turned around with tears in her eyes and i knew it was over........i think i have thought about this every day for 8 months and im so glad i dont have to think/ worry about this anymore....... A HUGE thank you to everyone this site has been so helpful..... Besides the info / checklists on completing the steps, but just knowing what the next step is / how long it will probably be was very comforting....THANK YOU VISAJOURNEY.COM

Im skeptical about this story "at the airport they told her she cant leave the country" ..... Who? Nobody looks at the passport until she is in peru.....
