Recent Applications in Bogota Colombia for K-1 Visa

[John P 1]

Hello All,

I am new here in the forums and going thorough the visa process now for k-1.

Currently my finance lives in Colombia and she will be going to Bogota for the final interview. I have heard bad things about Bogota. I have heard many people that say once the 129f petition is approved and sent to Colombia the embassy is not contacting the individuals there. Some people tell me they have the petition approved and Bogota has not sent anything to the fiance for four months when she calls the embassy they tell her she has to wait. I also know that the 129f petition after approved is only valid for four months.

I guess my question to everyone here is I want some feedback from people who have gone though the process in Bogota Colombia.

Anybody who has information recent withing the last year or two would love to hear about your experience in Bogota.

You are correct of what people have told you. That embassy does not contact people accordingly. Helping a friend and he received the NOA2 on August 4 and spent around a month to contact anyone in the embassy to find out why they haven't sent the package. The finally sent it by email. They changed the appointment system now is online. So it is a mess.
