This is crazy. My fiance went to pay the banc fee for DS-156 and they told her they would not accept her DS-156 because she indicated she was "unemployed" for question 21. The Banc suggested she state she is a housewife... this is crazy.. Since she is single and my fiance she cant put housewife or homemaker.

Anybody else have suggestions.

I appreciate any help.

Just a quick question regarding the DAS Police certificate and DAS migratorio certificate:

For those who have gotten them recently for their interview, I like to ask: If you live outside Bogota (Pereira) in our case, out of the two certificates needed, can one of them be picked up the same day at a local DAS (Pereira office), but the other one should be requested to actually be picked up in Bogota? Also, how much does each cost and does one just pay for them at the time of request, at their local DAS office? Just want to make sure we do it all right, since she will go to Pereira DAS office in an attempt to get them...

Thanks for any tips...

I answered your fiancée in the other forum. I think is absurd, since the question is occupation, UNEMPLOYED is the usual answer in USA, but the lady in the bank seems to believe that the visa is a tourist visa, and in her sick lier mind, Unemployed is a sin, but now in that logic, if I am a man would I have to write HOUSEHUSBAND,???????????????, there is no logic, is there I suggest to write Unemployed, an write a paper explaining the reason for the answer, and give it to CO, so the matter is resolved for the ones that are coming!!!!!!.

I believe you can request both in Pereira, and pick them up in Bogota, if in a hurry, or they deliver to Pereira office, the cost is about 30K each

Thanks Gigisan

She was going to try another bank location and bring two versions, one with unemployed (as it should be) and other with homemaker (which is nonsense). and hope the other banc isnt loco about this. Hard to believe she told you to write househusband...

if my fiance has luck at other banc i will let you know. Also, I was planning to write the embassy so they can resolve this with the banc but I am not going to hold my breath on that.

That's ridiculous Scott but then again, these are just bank employees and who know who trained them or if they had any training on checking these forms. Many people are not employed in Colombia, including men, so are they supposed to write homemaker as well?? Amo de Casa? My gosh! That's so stupid!
