UPDATE
SCRATCH EVERYTHING THAT I WROTE PLEASE AND WHAT I SAID ABOUT THE FUCKING SUBSTITUTES IN CHILE, THEY CAN ALL FUCKING DIE AND GO TO HELL. OUR THING WASN'T RIGHT AND I BLAME THAT ON THE FUCKING EXTRANJERIA BECAUSE I FILED FOR A PERMENENT RESIDENCE VISA NOT A FUCKING TEMP VISA. SOOO NOW I HAVE TO FUCKING REAPPLY AND HOPE THE PEOPLE IN THE EXTRANJERIA GET THERE FUCKING HEADS OUT OF THEIR FUCKING ASSES AND DO THIS SHIT THE WAY I FUCKING ASKED IT IN THE FIRST PLACE SO I MIGHT AS WELL CONSIDER ALL THIS SHIT RIGHT BACK AT FUCKING SQUARE ONE! IF I MAKE IT TO MY OWN FUCKING WEDDING I WILL BE LUCKY. FUCK CHILE AND ALL ITS FUCKING "GOVERNMENT ""OFFICIALS"" OFFICIALS MY FUCKING ASS!
All right so since I haven't yet said anything on this topic I will go ahead and tell you that YESS we FINALLLLLY went to the Embassy! Meaning?? Well let's start at the very beginning! Since I haven't worked there in almost a month I don't blame myself for forgetting that Friday November 21st is the day that almost every single student going to the US with a J-1 Visa for the summer was also going to the US Embassy...stupid me! So we went and as soon as we got there there was a crowd of people, inside and outside. But of course like always I shine out my US passport and for some reason they let me in right away, take my electronics, and give me a little plastic 1. I looked at it and thought 1?? NO way! I am first then the man that handed it to me told me I was the only one going to the window for those services, so go right up to the window... NICE!! So we went to the window only to find out that both of the people that take care of that visa were out sick. Umm No sir I don't want to come back on Monday I want to take care of this NOW!! So they brought in a substitute. I talked to her filled out some papers with Ro and paid the $355 fee for the application of the visa. Now I just have to hope that this "substitute" really knew what she was doing. They gave us a packet of papers and we have to wait for a call or an email saying that the application was accepted before we can start the rest of the process. According to the papers a doctor visit is next. A $140 doctor visit and he can only go to one of the only 2 choices there are. I am now seriously in the waiting game and hoping that everything goes how I want it to! So wish me, or I should say us luck!! I will update when I hear what is next!!

I am soooooooooo sorry that you are going through this. I can only imagine how upset you must be... and really, reading your blog only puts more fear into Seba and I's uncertain wedding plans. I came to ask if you could blog on a specific topic... but perhaps I should wait til you are having a better day.
Hug?
I guess congrats and, uh, dang in the same sentence.
What exactly did extranjeria mess up? Will it affect his visa process?
I know someone who will do all your extranjeria stuff for 60 or 70,000 pesos-you'll only have to step foot in extranjeria to get the final visa stamped, not a minute before. A lot less hassle, less time wasted generally a lot quicker than doing it yourself as well as you have someone asking every day after your application. Feel free to email me at info at pacificfive dot co dot uk and I'll put you in touch if you want...
70,000 pesos is a lot for a visa that is free! And I need the permanent visa, and its not possible to get that because i haven't had my temporary for a year yet. But thanks for the suggestion.
Haha, true but it depends on how much you value your time. Personally, I value never having to step foot in extranjeria, wasting at least one entire morning getting stressed and still being given the wrong information-trust me, you're not alone there-and getting your visa sorted out quicker at more than 70k.
