Colombia Club Part II

[bramirez04 2]

Thank you so much Diana you are always so helpful! He sent the DAS certificate to our lawyer the one he got for his employer and she said it was fine. But i will tell him to go get a different one just in case that one doesn't work. Thanks so much!

Diana another question is el certificado migratorio something different?

Yes. The certificado migratorio (carta migratoria) is the Migratory Movement Letter. It basically shows how many times he's left and entered the country, if any. It is required from all applicants regardless of age and whether they've left the country or not. Your fiancé will get it from the DAS in a sealed envelope and should not open it. The embassy is the only one who can open it.

I'm assuming they issued one for his visa interview since you don't need it to get a passport in Colombia. In that case, it should be fine.

Yea the lawyer told us he needed a Colombia Passport and to get the passport they asked him to get a DAS certificate. So i think it should be fine. hopefully it is! I am going to tell him to call the DAS office and find out. better safe then sorry! THanks Diana

I'm sure it's fine but I'm still confused they told him he needed it to get his passport. In Colombia all you need is your cédula, photos and pay the fee to get a passport.

Diana,

Yes but when he called they told him to get a DAS certificiate but the day he went to get his passport they didnt end up asking for it. So he really didn't need it. lol i know its a bit confusing. and is it valid for 6 months or a year?

Hi, everyone

Today , we were able to pay for the visas. The price still has not changed! I am so relieved. I was hoping she was not going to have problems.

Thanks Diana!!!...How's it going with you guys?...Hope all is well.

As if all of you in Colombia Club didn't already know... Diana was, and still "is" one of the most valuable sources of info on the forum.

Scott,

When I was going thru the process, I remember you posted a ton of good stuff and I always referred to your posts- especially when you were there for your interview! Those days, Diana(who still helps so much) and HAL 9000 always has great info, too!

Hi,

I have not read anywhere about a fee for the DS-156K. We paid today for the visas with the forms DS-156.

Is there a fee for the DS-156K? I know we are suppose to take it with us to the interview.

I personally don't think so , but she wants me to ask. It doesn't hurt to be sure.

There is no fee for ds 156 you just bring it with you when you pay for visa at the bank. We brought the ones we filled out and the bank made us use there ds156 forms. Same forms so I do not know why.

Joe,

How's it going? I noticed in your timeline that Valeria is scheduled to arrive on July 3rd. Congratulations on scheduling a definite date for POE. I know it's been a long wait for you, but it will be worth all the waiting and frustration. My plan is for Carol to arrive on July 3rd also, but I haven't made definite plans yet.

Good luck,

Mark

Hi all!

So i logged on to the USCIS website to see if they received the evidence (which was a passport picture of myself because they said the one i sent didn't have the right measurements) and they received it yesterday it also says on there to give them about 60 days to send us a letter saying if we were approved or not, are we really going to have to wait 3 more months??? ugh!
