A couple of questions. Bogota Embassy

[Antonio y Olga 1]

We have been approved and we are planning the next few weeks. I would like to know the following if someone could be so kind to help us:

a) Is the beneficiary if approved allowed to travel to the US with a one-way ticket?

B) How long does it take to get the visa after the interview? how many days? I figure it would be sent to the beneficiary's home address via courier but we would like to depart as soon as possible to knowing this would allow us to plan.

First, let me suggest that you check out the information posted in the "Colombia Club" thread.

Now, I'm not sure what you mean by "approved". You have an interview coming up? Where are you in the process?

As for your questions: a) Yes, once the beneficiary has his/her visa, he/she may fly here on a one-way ticket. If you both are well-prepared you don't need to worry about the downside of doing this, but keep in mind that if the beneficiary is turned away at the port of entry, they will have to fly back to Colombia.

B) In the past, the visa has been available within a couple of days, but you need to look for current info in Colombia Club. The answer to the rest of your question is also contained in recent posts in the club. Be aware that if you plan for too much in advance of a successful interview, you are taking a big chance in that the visa could be denied.

If you want the best chance to be successful in the process and be well informed on all phases, please read AT LEAST several months' worth of posts in Colombia Club.

Best of luck!

GREETINGS:

THEY will tell you at the Embassy where the DOMESA kiosk is that the visa (Once approved) will take 6-8 days

We recieved ours in 3 and then bought the one way ticket and my wife travelled to the USA with me , no problem.

Go to the COLOMBIA CLUB thread and you will learn all you need too there and the people there are great !!!

Good luck with your Journey
