I'm not sure if I'm posting in the right forum. Sorry if I'm not. Hopefully the K1 will be granted. A very slow process as all of us are enduring. 100 days and counting now also. Can we submit for a visa once she has hers so that the mother could visit for about two weeks to be at the wedding? A tourist visa. It would be nice is CSC would at least touch me. I don't care where. haha Thanks in advance for any help.

Yes, there's no problem for her mother to apply for a tourist visa. She'd have to gather proof of strong ties to her home country and there's no guarantee, of course, that the visa would be granted.

I only offer advice - not even legal. Just the plain and simple kind.

Rodney, you should read the Colombia US embassy website carefully regarding the rules for tourist visas from Colombia and to understand the timing. In some countries it takes 6 months to even get an appointment for a tourist visa so if that is the case in Colombia, you will not to wait for your fiance's K1 approval to apply for her mother. Since there is pretty much no relationship between her K1 approval and her mother's potential tourist visa approval, there is no reason to wait.

PS I would add that unless your mother-in-law is reasonably well-to-do with many ties to Colombia, please don't pin your hopes on her getting the tourist visa. I have known three Colombians whose relatives have been refused visas repeatedly. Good luck and I hope everything works out!

Thanks for the replies. For what it's worth. I talked with a friend today who is married to a woman from Bogota also. Her parents just visited and got their tourist visa approvals same day as application to the embassy. I guess I'll see when the time comes. Right know a touch or something would be satisfying from CSC. The mother in law (to be) meets all the criteria on the web site. (i.e. - house, job, married, bank accounts)

That's great news - there is apparently only a short wait for an appt in Bogota (unlike 143 days for in Mexico!!!) Best of luck!
