You could do whats listed above, and sign for her. Email packet 3 info for a faster response. I had difficulties faxing the Embassy, probably because my Fax machine was on the fritz.

Great Thank You.. Will Do...

However, another question, I posted this question in another forum, but maybe someone here has some thoughts...

how many of you have dealt with a Beneficiary child who will follow mom at a later time?

I am a little confused regarding the completion of the DS-156.. In the Appointment package it says 2 copies for each family member including children..

We intend to have the child follow within 1 year of her mom.. Do I need to simply submit additional copies of the same form I completed for my fiancee or fill out a completely new DS-156 for her child? Her child is 8 years old..

Also, I hope you guys don't think this is extemely stupid, but does the child need a passport?

will there be a seperate visa in the childs passport?

Since we are submiting the DS-156K indicating the child will follow....,

Does she need to have her DS156 submitted at the same time as her mom?

Does the Visa Fee need to be paid at the same time or at a later time? when?

Just need a little clarification on how this actually works for her child..

Thanks again everyone...

your fiancee and her child need separate ds-156 form (individual information), and just one ds-156K form, it is what the instructions says pck 4

"Nonimmigrant Visa Application (DS-156)

Complete two (2) copies per applicant (including your children)

Nonimmigrant Fiancé(e) Visa Application (DS-156K) (K1/Fiancé(e) Visa Applicants Only) Complete (1) copy per family. "

both fees must be paid at the same time and all papers and forms must be submitted at the same time too.

Once the visa is issued, as far as I know, is valid for six months to enter to US, I'm not sure if you can request an extension for a K2 visa holder.

The child not only needs a passport also needs permission from his father to leave the country

Yakad

Nice to hear from you and thanks for your reply..

Ok, so the permission from the father is needed for the Interview or before the daughter actually travels?

Just curious if they will require it grant the visa or simply need to show it when she is ready to travel...

Thanks

Also, a friend in Colombia told me the permission for the child to travel is a standard form which can be gotten from a Notoria.. Are you familiar with that form?

Thanks again..

Hi Colombia Club! I am back from Medellin, my boyfriend arrives Aug.30th at the Ft. Lauderdale airport. Our interview was super easy we arrived at 6:40am. We got all the paper work ready in the brown folder they gave us. and Juan was called up at about 9:00am to check all the paper work it was a Colombian lady she wasn’t so nice she checked everything and told us to go have a sit on the other side of the room. About an hour later he got called up for fingerprints. And we waited about 45mins until they called him to window 6 for the interview it was an American lady super nice, I went up with him and she asked him who I was he answered. And she asked him when we met, than she asked to talk to me. she asked me in English where I lived, who I lived with she also asked me when we met. Then she told me that we sent a lot of evidence and that she can see that we have more to show her but that she doesn’t want to see it because she believes in our relationship and she can tell we love each other and then she asked to talk to him again. He got on the phone and she said VISA APPROVED YOU MAY GO PAY DOMESA. We kissed and hugged each other and cried everyone around us looked happy for us kept giving us the thumps up because it was seriously like 2 mins. We were super nervous because everyone before us got denied we were the first couple to get approved that day! We left the embassy at 11am.  thank you everyone for all your help! We wouldn’t of been able to do it without you.

Congratulations!

Hotels near embassy that are the real bargains are disappearing.

I'm looking for a room from August 22 -- 26 any the best recommendations are unavailable. Martha's booked and I got a surprise message from www.bogotacolombialodging.com that they are currently out of the room rental (appartment/guest house/ bed & breakfast)business.

I am checking with www.hotelbogotainn.com owned hotels, but an internet search found comments alleging their BasicasInn is in a questionnable area (Calle 63D N. 22-44).

I know Martha's rooms and bogotacolombialodging.com were very popular with posters here. Other than those places, are there any others folks care to recommend?

Thank you
