Hello all!

My wife was just approved for the CR1 and we are looking to take a honeymoon this Sept by doing a med cruise. My wife will have a Colombian passport and her US temp resident card. We will be visiting the following countries on the cruise: Spain, Italy, Croatia, and back to Spain. Please let me know where I can verify if she needs that schengen visa before our trip. if she does how do we apply for the visa? We are living in Orlamdo Fl.

Thank you!

Wow you all are so quick, thank you for the advice. We will do the labs mon morning and then make her appointment for her physical that afternoon. We cannot wait to be done with this, we are almost there!

Thank you again for the advice!!

Hello Everyone!!

I need some advice, my wife Has her interview for 4/13 in bogota and we need to get her medical exams before the interview. Does anyone know how long it takes to get both exams done? Any tips on getting this done as close as to the interview date? We don't want to spend too much time in bogota due to expenses.

Thank you for any tips!!

So happy we justmgot our interview for April 13. Now i need to read up on what to do next. Any suggestions for those who have gone through this already?

Thank you for the feedback!!

We just got ours too, it's for 4/13 in Bogota!!!!! We are near the end now, thank you Jesus!

6 months was for USCIS.

Your casefile has been at NVC since 12/14/2010 - and you only had 3.5 months with USCIS.

hmmmmm...

At this stage, you should be calling NVC to inquire about 'the holdup' ..

Ok I called again and to see what happened. When I spoke to them he said march has been posted and we were not on the list. he said the Colombian consulate has a certain capacity and we will have to wait till the 2nd week of march to see if we made April. Is there anything I can do to assist with this interview date? Case was completed on 1/31/11. Can my senator help? Should I send an email to the embassy?

Thank you for the advice!

My case is already completed from NVC, but we are still waiting on an interview. My 6 months will be 3/6, can I still contact my senator to help get an interview date? Or since it's already complete I'm stuck with waiting?

Thank you!

My case was completed 1/31 and still no interview .... Please let it be for early March!!!!!

Good luck to all on getting an interview. Our case was completed on 1/31. We are still waiting on an interview. Soooooo frustrated!!!! Any march interviews yet?

So happy just found out that my case was completed on 1/31. I really hope the interview date comes sooner vs later. Any other September filets with interview dates yet?

A humanitarian situation is listed as a valid reason for expedite, so give it a try! Hope it goes through for you and you can get her to you soon!

How Do I submit an expedite when I'm in the NVC stage? If it does not hurt, I will certainly do it. The country is in a state of emergency, granted her home is not flooded, but parts of the city has been and there have been rock slides in other parts of the city. What documentation would I need to provide in order to get this reviewed and how do I submit?

Great news, just got my NOA 2 yesterday. I got my NVC case # and IIN #. I cannot pay the AOS fee because it's still showing as not invoiced, errr. How long does this take? Can I email DS-3032 before I officially receive some email from NVC? How long does it take to receive the email? Does anyone know, when I main the IV Packet it's asking for original docs. That's fine, but do I need to get an Apostille or Sello from the notaria in Colombia? My wife is gathering again her birth certificate and our marriage license again so we can mail the packet.

any tips that anyone can share with me? it would be greatly appreciated. To everyone else, good luck with your journey!

Hi Folks!

I submitted my i-130 back in late Aug and received my NOA 9/3. I had a few touches and also submitted I-129 for a K3 visa and received another touch on 10/29 on both applications. do you think it will take much longer to get the NOA2? i'm past the 3 month marker now ... tick tock .. also my wife is in medellin right now and parts of the country is in a state of emergency, do you think I can apply or send a note to expedite due to state of emergency? Let me know your thoughts!

Thank you!!
