My Wife's 6 year old daughter was not baptized. They are protestant. I read that the US consualte in Bogota wants a baptismal certificate. Is this true? I also read that we must produce some sort of a notorized paper stating why she does not have a baptismal cert. Can anyone clarify this for me?

Also my wife visited Spain for about two months when she was 18 years old. Will she be needing a police "judicial"

document from Spain? Thanks for any help on this -Rich

No, the requirement is having lived 6 mos or longer (some consulates is 1 yr)

YMMV

Since it is a Columbian specific issue it is better if someone with closer ties comes with that answer....

YMMV

mountain,

I believe there is a form or document you can submit in this case, but I am not sure. You should post this question in the Colombia Club topic in the Foreign Embassies forum on this site. A lot of people who have gone through interviews in Bogota frequent that thread and can probably give you more details.

Married: June 11, 2007 - San Andres Isla, Colombia

I-130

7/27/2007 - Sent I-130 Package to TSC*

7/30/2007 - Received by TSC

8/28/2007 - NOA-1 date - CSC

3/19/2008 - NOA2 date -CSC

I-130 held by USCIS for future AOS

I-129F

7/27/2007 - Sent I-129F Package to TSC*

7/30/2007 - Received by TSC

8/30/2007 - NOA-1 - Fee waived

3/19/2008 - NOA2

4/3/2008 - Received by NVC

4/10/2008 - Received by embassy

4/11/2008 - Faxed packet 3 forms to embassy

4/30/2008 - Appointment date assigned

6/19/2008 - Appointment at Bogota Embassy - APPROVED!!!

No touches except when I called CSC directly to inquire.

8/28/2008 - POE Houston

Still being lazy and waiting to do AOS.

*I-130 and I-129F sent together to TSC per USCIS instructions.

The Bogota Consulate's website addresses how to get around the request for a baptismal certificate.
