We have an ETA!


Well hopefully it's more than an estimated time.  I would call it an "actual" time of arrival. Hurray!!

Pollito had his consular/embassy US gov't interview on August 8th after finally getting all the paper work lined up.  We both thought that it would be a relatively easy process, like getting your tourist visa and that he would be out in a half hour.

Aparently not.  It took Pollito around 3 hours to come out of the Embassy.  He said that he probably spoke to someone a total of 3 minutes, and they all asked him the same thing over and over, and in one window he handed over some documents.  Apart from the waiting, and knowing him, being hungry sometime in those three hours, it was not a difficult process.

I think that we were lucky because we were able to file from Lima showing that I had lived there, and Pollito doesn't have any type of record, be it criminal or by overstaying any visa or anything on his trips to the US.    So we have the visa!!!  Which means that when he arrives in the US he will have a green card sent to him and be all legal and stuff!!

He was able to buy his ticket a week after he got his passport back from the Embassy.  He used miles and so has a ticket for Sept. 22!!  Yay!!!  Can't wait until he arrives!
