JK

JK:

FINALLY, you post some pictures of you and your lovely wife. You guys look great together! Of course I can't post a pick on VJ because I can't reveal Captain America's secret identity

... or was it that I never could get the avatar upload to work after several attempts... who's to say?

our visa was approved today!!! i'm writing our experience right now, trying not to leave out anything, i'll be posting soon.

JK

Felicidades!

Hi,

please to resolve my doubt:

do I send the ORIGINALS of the IRS transcripts with the I-864?

If so, do I need to order more originals from the IRS and take them to the interview at the embassy? Or just take COPIES to the interview (copy of the whole I-864 submission)?

Also, the USC income is above 125% of poverty limits, but is not all that high... instructions say do not submit any information about assets if income itself is above 125% poverty limit. So, would it then be a good idea to take printouts of savings accounts to the interview at the embassy?

Thank you very much!

My apologies, I failed to find it, but I am somehow sure that this was asked before

Rika

1. I called the IRS to have them fax my transcripts to me. I sent in the faxes with the I-864. I also took copies of my faxes to my wife's visa interview, although they never asked to look at them at the interview (but you should have them).

2. Prior to that, I had visited my local IRS office only to find out that they no longer give you transcripts on the spot. The lady said she would put in a request to have them mailed to me. That was taking too long, so that's when I kept digging around on VJ and found out I could call IRS and have them fax me the transcripts.

3. I finally received them in the mail also. The ones they mail look excellent. The one's they fax are merely dumps from a computer screen and don't look that great... but they are obviously perfectly acceptable for US Immigration.

4. If I had it to do over again, I would have made copies of the transcripts they mailed to me, and then I would have taken the actual transcripts they mailed me to the interview. Its just that the ones they mailed are easier to read, and look more authentic and professional, then the ones they faxed. Like I said, they didn't ask to see them at the interview anyway, so no big deal.

5. If your income is at or above the 125% guideline limits, then by definition you meet the requirements. However if you have additional asset information such as you mentioned, it never hurts to take it to the interview just in case you need more evidence to support your case.

Good luck and God bless you

Just a simple good luck to you guys heading on down to Bogota in July. Everything is fine in the world for us.

Right now in Denver and doing a meet the family tour of the US. Left LV on the 12th and will get back the end of next month. Life is great, you guys will love having your wife here (or hubby Diane). Again good luck. A quick note for you guys. I had checked for them to send Ceci's SS card once she entered the country but it never happened. We had to go down and spend the day at SSA and apply for one. The POE people never sent it to SS. I guess for me, I would say it might be quicker doing it yourself.

Doug and Ceci

Thanks for the update, Doug, glad to hear you guys are doing muy bien!

Also, thanks for the feed back on the SS Card. My wife has not received hers either (although I haven't checked my mail the last couple of days). The SSA office isn't far from our house, so we'll probably head over there based on your experience and suggestion.

Dios te bendiga!

well, the time has come. i called this morning and we have our interview date for July 10!! the nvc guy explained how this means that we have less than a month and that i should fax and dhl my copy of the packet to my wife since the chances of her getting it before the interview are slim. i immediately called my wife, she is sooooo happy and told me that she would call and make the appts with whoever is available for the first week of july. ok, got to start getting everything together before i fly down.

later kids

JK

Felicidades, buena suerte y bendiciones!

Question for the CR-1 filers.

I've read here on VJ that some people are not getting a response from the NVC regarding the e-mail they sent about the choice of agent. Others say it's taken them a couple of days. Should I wait for the NVC to acknowledge my husband's e-mail before I mail in the AOS fee bill? I just don't want them to get it before the choice of agent is entered in their system. What do you guys suggest?

Thanks,

Diana

As you can see from looking at my signature timeline, I sent in my AOS fee bill even though they NEVER responded to my email for choice of agent. You can also see that I eventually mailed my Choice of Agent by Overnight mail.

If I had it to do again, I would not wait the 2+ weeks (or however long I waited) to mail my choice of agent by overnight mail. I'd only wait a couple of days for email response, because of the loss of time.

Good luck and God bless...

guys, someone in the colombian k1 forum brought up an interesting topic..what to wear for the interview. he mentioned that some people were dressed inappropriatley, like too casual or as if going to a party while others were very formal, conservative and business like.

can those that have already had the interview post what you and your wives wore and what did you see the other people wear? do your wives have any suggestions on what the women should wear, dress, suit, slacks and blouse. they seem to be more aware of what other women are wearing.

JK

We both wore jeans. She wore a simple blouse, and I wore a polo shirt. The sun was shining, but it was cold so we had on jackets, as did most people.

Scheduling flights for the POE trip to the USA...

One thing worth mentioning is that when I booked my wife's flight to the USA, I was more than happy to take the flight that would get her here by 6:30 pm as opposed to 11:00 pm.

However, that meant that she would only have 90 minutes in Atlanta to deal with POE and catch her next flight... which it never entered my mind that this would be a problem. As it turned out, she missed her flight in the 90 minute window, and had to catch a later flight because they had many people in front of her dealing with POE.

They did allow her to change her flight at no charge, so that was good.

The main point is to not get your hopes up for earlier flights, and just keep in mind that POE could take longer than expected or hoped for.

Buena suerte y Dios te bendiga

doug, did ceci have to do the lab one day and the medical exam the next? in other words, how many days did it take from start to getting the results picked up? 2, 3 days?

also. given the choice of the 2 docters, why did you choose one over the other? was it because of availabilty, location, female doctor? i had read (i can't recall if it was in bogota or in other countries) how some male doctors have taken advantage of young women by asking them to strip naked where as the female doctors do not and conduct the exam with most or all of the clothes on.

for that reason alone i was thinking of taking my wife to see la Dra. in stead of el Dr.

any one else who has gone through this please share your experiences with both doctors.

gracias

JK

JK:

I heard the same thing about female vs. male doctors concerning stripping naked. Also, I had read good reviews on Dra. Gonzalez on VJ, and she was recommended by a personal friend.

However, as the disciples said about Jesus, "I can only speak of the things that I have seen and heard (for myself)". I can only tell you that our entire experience with her and her staff was a nightmare.

A little compassion and respect after mistakenly telling my wife she had an STD would have been appreciated.

Even if it was the lab's mix-up, it was Dra. Gonzalez who was the disseminator of the bogus information... and the "non-disseminator" after the test results came back correctly.

Changing My Wife’s Plane Ticket

After having spent so much time in Bogotá already, I was forced to come back on my previously scheduled date of 4/12. I had previously purchased my wife’s ticket for about $650 from Bogotá to Ohio. Of course, given all the hell that we were experiencing, I didn’t dare confirm a date change for her ticket until she had her visa in hand. Due to the penalty to change flights ($200) and the change in fares, and the airport taxes, I had to pay an ADDITIONAL $850 to get her a flight to come to the USA the next day.

Prior to going down to her visa interview, I was trying to remain optimistic especially since we had a couple extra days built into the schedule. Who knew we’d need a whole extra week in the schedule? I figured it was a good gamble, because if things worked out according to schedule I’d save the highway robbery rates of buying a ticket to leave next day at the last minute.

In retrospect, I would not have taken that gamble. I ended up paying the highway robbery rates at the last minute. The embassy encourages you not to order your tickets until your visa approval. However, it’s was hard for me to think like that after being painfully separated from my wife for so long.

Delayed at Point of Entry in Atlanta

My wife was supposed to arrive in Ohio around 6:30 pm. She was delayed in Atlanta during questioning for her point of entry. The delay was primarily due to the number of people that they had to process at that time, it wasn't that my wife was being singled out. Fortunately, they changed her flight for her at no additional charge. She arrived in Ohio at 11:30 pm.

Thank God its Over

She has been here with me for about 1 month now, and we are so happy together! We couldn’t have made it without God’s grace.

I wish all the best to others on their Visa Journey!

Lab and Medical Nightmare

Interview Date: 4/10/2007

Lab Date: Tuesday, 4/3/2007

Medical Exam: Wednesday, 4/4/2007

The lab hours were 7 AM - 10 PM. We wanted to be early, so we arrived Tuesday morning at 6:30 AM. We waited outside (under a roof, but still outside) with probably around 20 other people. Eventually, the doors were opened, and ONLY the people receiving exams were let in. This meant I had to find something else to do for about 90 minutes. I walked around, went to the nearby park, and waited for the internet cafés to open up.

The next day, Wednesday, we went to her medical exam with Dr. Gonzalez.

The first apparent obstacle occurred when I became upset with Dr. Gonzalez’s secretary who insisted to my wife that my wife must give her an “original” DS-230. Of course I had sent the “original” DS-230 to NVC. Of course I had a copy of the exact DS-230 that I had sent to NVC. So I explained to my wife that in the USA, documents are considered original so long as they have an original signature. That wasn’t good enough for the secretary (Sandra). So I bit my tongue as my wife started handwriting the DS-230 over again. If only that would have been the main problem we would encounter at the doctors office...

only to find out that her lab test had either been done incorrectly, or her results had been mixed up with someone else's that had an STD. This obviously was TOTALLY UNEXPECTED and the worst thing that could happen at that juncture. This was especially troubling for us since, being devout Christians, neither one of us has ever had sex outside of marriage (this is her first marriage, and my 2nd marriage).

The doctor told her to go the lab immediately to begin retesting. However, Thursday and Friday everything would be closed for Holy Week (Semana Santa). In addition, the new test would take 3 days (instead of less than 24 hrs like the first bogus test), since they were allegedly going to do it CORRECTLY this time.

That meant she would not receive her test results until Wednesday, 4/11/2007, but her interview date was Tuesday, 4/10/2007... the nightmare continues...

The doctor told her to go to the interview, and explain her medical results would come later. So that's what we did. Fortunately, the Consular Officer (CO) was kind enough to conduct the interview and wait for the medical results.

NOTE: The doctor's staff was rude to us during this whole trying ordeal. When the results came in, the doctor didn't even have the decency to sit down with my wife for 2 minutes to tell her "you're results are fine". She just had her secretary give her the SEALED envelope after all that agony.

We used Doctora Consuelo Gonzalez. I ADAMANTLY DO NOT RECOMMEND HER! I adamantly encourage everyone to use Dr. Roa. Unfortunately I don't have his info handy, but there are only 2 doctors approved by the embassy, so both doctor's info will be in Packet 4.

Everyone else that my wife talked to at the lab that day was going to Dr. Roa. They had lab appointments that morning, and their doctor's appointments that SAME afternoon. Then they had their visa interviews immediately the NEXT day. That is a significant time savings and customer service benefit.

With Doctora Gonzalez, we had to have the lab appointment one day, medical next day, and we were not to receive results until the 3rd day... as opposed to (potentially) same day service for everything with Dr. Roa.

Furthermore, not even so much as a "we're sorry" or an "oops" from the lab for MISTAKENLY telling my wife that she had a communicable disease right before her visa interview... and making us pay for additional test results which obviously was THEIR ERROR in the first place!

Therefore, I recommend Dr. Roa. This is his info taken directly from our Packet 4:

Dr. Jairo Roa

Centro Médico La Sabana

Cra. 7 No. 119-14, Cons. 325

Telephone Numbers: 215-1763 or 658-9366

My wife has been with me about 1 month, now and everything is going great!

However, as my duty to my fellow VJers, I will be posting several posts here to summarize the closing days of our CR-1 Visa experience, in addition to the Embassy Review which I have posted under the "Embassy/USCIS Reviews" section of the VJ website.

Weather and Accommodations in Bogotá

I was shocked by the weather in Bogotá. The entire time we were there, the weather was overcast, cloudy, and rainy. It was also cold. The first cab we got into, the driver drove with his window down. We asked him to their windows down, and we asked him to put his window up. He refused. All the taxi drivers drove with their windows down, and they insisted the weather was nice.

I am from Ohio, and am no stranger to cold. It gets much colder in Ohio than the people in Bogotá will ever relate to. After several days and nights of this weather, one night I noticed I was going to bed fully clothed in my street clothes. The next day I realized that I was suffering from hypothermia... my body temperature had dropped to an unhealthy level. Why? How could a guy from Ohio, be suffering when these people who had never seen snow were so comfortable? Because there was no furnace in the B&B where we were staying. I told my wife this was unacceptable and asked her to call around to find a hotel with a furnace.

NONE of the places she called had a furnace. They all insisted that they had “plenty of blankets on the beds”. Fortunately the lady who ran the B&B where we were staying came up with the idea of boiling water, putting it in a rubber hot water bottle, and we began sleeping with that under our covers. That was a lifesaver.

I highly recommend the B&B where we stayed. The owner, Señora Doña Flor, is a sweet, motherly lady and kind of adopted us like her own kids. The food in Bogotá (in general) leaves a lot to be desired, but this place is very nicely furnished and is very homey. Her son is an artist so there are paint fumes from time to time. However, it is very close to the embassy and the price is reasonable, competitive, and quite possibly negotiable. We paid $80,000 pesos per night. Although the word “Hotel” is in the name, it is really a Bed and Breakfast.

Embassy Review

I have just posted my embassy review which can be read here:

http://www.visajourney.com/reviews/index.p...nty=&page=1

Thank God, my wife is finally with me!

The month of April presented a seemingly endless barrage of setbacks for us, but finally we are together!

1. I don't have cable TV

2. My TV is old school (only has cable-ready hookup)

Questions:

Can I buy a cheap (newer?) TV that will allow me to display Spanish subtitles for regular network programs?

Is that done thru Closed Captioning only, or is there something else?

What is "SAP" and how does it work? Do I need cable for that?

Oh I see, there is no packet 3 because the choice of agent already sent all the paperwork to the NVC prior to the case making it to Bogotá, is that right?

So if that is the case, all my husband has to wait for is for packet 4 which contains the interview information?

Diana

For the CR-1 visa, there is no packet 3.

After the case is submitted from NVC to the Embassy, then the NON-US Citizen will receive Packet 4 in the mail.

The USC will eventually receive it also in the mail (in Spanish), but the NON-USC should receive it long before the USC does.

The DS-230 is in a sealed envelope ONLY AFTER the doctor is done with it. The doctor puts it inside the sealed envelope along with your medical results, and then you take the sealed envelope to the embassy.

Question - if the DS-230 is in the sealed envelope which you cant even open, how are you supposed to have that form?

Looking4Wife: I guess you already took care of all of this by now. I think they are looking for a brand new original DS-230 for their own purposes and there is no relationship to the one you sent to the NVC which they apparently use for different reasons. It is funny that the one sent by the embassy is a very old form from 2004. I think they use it because it is in english and spanish. As Doug stated, apparently any version of the DS-230 is acceptable. Good luck with everything next week!

DougyCeci: Everybody has to return to the doctor and pickup the sealed envelope with the medical exam results and then take this to the interview. This envelope also includes the DS-230.

Mark

L4W, how long did your wife have to wait before getting the certificates? i read somewhere that it can take up to a month in barranquilla and 3 days in bogota.

Mononoke, NVC told me that they needed a national certificate, i hope this is the one my wife can get in barranquilla so she won't have to goto bogota

JK

It took my wife 1 month to get the MAIN certificate from DAS because it comes from Bogota and she applied for it in Barranquilla. If she would have waited until we went to Bogota, she could have gotten it in 3 days. We didn't want the extra stress of waiting, so we went ahead and got it prior to going to Bogota.

As far as the other certificates I have no clue... she did that without my knowledge. I would guess they pretty much give them on the spot, since its a neighborhood thing.

L4W and Dougyceci, congratulations to all 4 of you!! thanks a bunch for posting the questions they asked you and for sharing your experiences, it will certainly help everyone going through this process.

my question to you both and anyone else who may know is regarding the police reports. it seems now that as of april 1, 2007 the supporting documents have to be sent with the DS 230 to NVC and not taken to the interview.

my wife lives in barranquilla and lived in bogota for 2 years, does she need police reports from both cities? if she needs one from bogota, does she have to go their and request one personally or can someone else ask for it, perhaps with a notorized letter authorizing someone in bogota to obtain that report. this changes things for me because now my wife has to send me the reports before I can send out the DS230. any help guys is appreciated.

thanks

JK

Jediknight:

Thanks for the congrats.

"my wife lives in barranquilla and lived in bogota for 2 years, does she need police reports from both cities?"

Yes, if she lived there anytime since she was 16 years old. You probably already noticed that in the instructions.

NOTE: Apparently Colombian cities, at least Barranquilla, seems to have "localized" police reports for different neighborhoods or something. My wife apparently went around and got official versions of these things from different neighborhood police offices, since she had moved around a lot to different neighborhoods (even though she's never had a run-in with the law and would be the last person on earth to have reason to).

These things she collected were IN ADDITION to the one you get from the centralized DAS office in Barranquilla (or your respective city you live in).

However, she was never asked to produce these additional documents for the visa interview. I suspected that they wouldn't be needed in the first place, and I was right. She wanted to make sure she satisfied all the requirements, and compiled all these things before I found out she was doing it (and I definitely would have discouraged her). Based on what I've read on VJ, I've not noticed anyone else mention these "neighborhood-style" police reports, so I didn't think they would be necessary

(Disclaimer: I'm not saying that someone else wouldn't be asked for them at the interview, just because we weren't. But I don't know anyone else on VJ who has been asked for anything other than the general DAS document for police clearance)

However, I can see how a local person could interpret that they might need them. I'm sure I would have felt stupid at the interview, if we would have needed them and I would have told my wife they were unnceccessary.

As far as the other stuff about getting police docs from Bogotá, I'm clueless on that since my wife has only lived in Barranquilla since she was 16.

Mike (and others):

Just for the record I DON'T think that my wife and I were singled out by having a long interview. As cartagena2112 mentioned, I too at first thought I was being "profiled" because of my Captain America outfit (as a "Super-Abled American"), until I noticed they treated Spiderman and Batman (and their spouses) the same way.

Seriously, as I indicated in my post: "I noticed that ALL the interviews were taking an extremely long time."

So I think that, for whatever reason, ON THIS PARTICULAR DAY, they decided to interview the majority of people for a long time (20+ minutes). Is this a new trend? I don't know. It will be interesting to see what details Doug and Ceci report, since they had their interview 2 days after ours.

It was very confusing the way people were being interviewed, sitting down, and then having to go back up to the window. In fact, I didn't notice anyone leave immediately after their interview EXCEPT my wife and I. Maybe a couple people slipped by that I didn't notice. Maybe they had a lot of people trying to get some different visas beyond the scope of my knowledge so they had a different process. All I can tell you is what I experienced and what I saw... or at least what I "remember" seeing.

I wish I had the time and the data to do a study to see if there are correlations between the number/type of questions asked versus certain other variables (e.g., ages of beneficiary and petitioner, length of marriage, length of time known each other, financial status of petitioner, education of petitioner, etc.). I find it interesting that so many of us with seemingly similar situations...have such different experience at the embassy. As I have said before, the CO asked my wife no questions. Yes L4W was interviewed with his wife for 30 minutes? Why? Certain red flags in the petition? Preference of the CO? Change in embassy policy? Or random selection of who to "grill"?

I wish I knew. Frankly, I find this fascinating.

Mike

PS - COngrats to you...and to Doug and Cecy.

Actual Visa Interview Questions 4/10/2007 (not necessarily in order)

NOTE: We were interviewed extensively for a total of about 30 minutes. 1st her, then me, then both of us together. I noticed that ALL the interviews were taking an extremely long time. In fact, I couldn't tell if other people were receiving approvals or not. Many people were being interviewed, then going back to sit down, maybe to be called up again to the window(s) again much later. I was thinking, people of VJ always talk about identifying who's getting approved/denied, but I couldn't tell anything.

The interviewer, who appeared a white American male, was very friendly with us. He spoke to me in English, and he spoke to my wife in Spanish.

Most questions the interviewer asked both me and my wife the same question separately, i.e. to be able to compare our answers.

1 What is your husband's address? (the only question asked at the first window, prior to the interview)

2 Does your wife have any family in the USA?

3 How many siblings do you / does your wife have?

4 What do you do for a living?

5 Have you guys discussed having kids?

6 How many kids do you / does your wife want?

7 How many times have you been here to visit her?

8 What other places (cities) have you and your wife visited together inside of Colombia?

9 What will your wife do when she gets to the USA?

10 How do you communicate?

11 Do you speak Spanish?

12 Does she speak English?

13 Do you know his parents?

14 When did you two first meet?

15 What made you come to Colombia to find a wife?

16 To my wife (weird question to a Colombian woman): Do you know how to dance Salsa and Vallenato?

17 Did his parents come to the wedding?

18 What was special about your wife that made you want to marry her?

19 How did you two meet?

20 How many Spanish classes have you taken?

21 Have you guys discussed relgion, is that important to you?

22 What religion are you?

23 What religion is she?

Just a quick note to let everyone know Ceci got approved today. Because of some glitch that was giving everyone fits at the embassy no visas until Monday

Let me be the first to say Congratulations!!!!!!!!!! But obviosly it is a bummer, having to wait a few days more

for the actual paper. So, did you return to the States or are you both waiting together in Bogota??

From your experience and that of others here recently, I will plan to stay a few more days in Bogota!

To everybody: A general i-864 question:

Which papers from the i-864 need to be sent in? The guide here sez, ALL pages in order 1,2,3,4,5,6, etc...

that makes no sense, the 864 form come with 19 pages but only 5 or 6 are pertinent..

What did you all do as far as sending in your 864 forms???

Sorry if this is a silly question, but I don't wanna risk "anything". hahaha

Thanks in advance!

Best,

George

Sorry if this is a silly answer but, Dude, you send in the pages that you fill out... you don't send in the instructions that accomany the form... B)
