What papers are you talking about? That is the reason why it's strongly advised to make 2 copies of all original submissions, so that you don't end up in such a situation.

Does it matter what papers? The question is how can I go about getting a copy of something that we turned into the consulate the day of the interview. Any advise?

Not gonna happen more than likely. It is now part of a government file and you don't have access to it anymore. You will more than likely have to go to wherever you got it before, and if that is not possible....your never gonna have it again.

Pizzadude is right on the mark. What you have submitted is now part of the file. You will need to obtain the document from the source. Depending on the type of document it may need to be a certified or official copy.

What did your blue/white slip ask for?

Well, yes, it matters. In most cases it is easier to just get another copy of the official document from the source when you got the first one. Make a copy of anything you give to anyone at anytime in this process. You could contact the consulate by email and ask for a copy of the document but it is not always easy to get one

Sorry to tell you this, but you were WRONG!!!! Not only did I receive a copy of the papers turned into the Embassy the day of our interview, but the Embassy personally contact me via e-mail to advise me that my wife could pick it up any Tuesday after 1:00pm NO APPOINTMENT THROUGH CALL CENTER NEEDED!!

My wife just got back from the embassy with a copy of everything needed. Try not to be so negative next time "pizza boy". Unless you speak from personal experience, you should try encouraging readers.

Well....If you think "pizza boy" is right on the mark..........you would be WRONG!!!!! Not only did I receive a copy of the papers turned into the Embasy the day of our interview, but the Embassy personally contact me via e-mail to advise me that my wife could pick it up any Tuesday after 1:00pm NO APPOINTMENT THROUGH CALL CENTER NEEDED!!

My wife just got back from the embassy with a copy of everything needed. Thanks for all the encouraging words (sarcasm applied).

Great you got lucky and i'm not in the habit of sending people on wild goose chases. Glad to hear you got what you needed, maybe next time you will keep copies so as to not put yourself thru such NEGATIVE times in your life.

And the name is pizzadude, JUNIOR

The purpose of an open forum is to get a bunch of opinions and to be able to form a concensus. In most cases I would agree with Pizzadude, you are not likely to get them back. On the outside chance (and because it is free, so why not?) I suggested contacting the consulate by email, which you did, (maybe on my advice, maybe on your own, it isn't important) and you were successful. Congratulations. Bullet dodged.

Pizzadude was pretty much "right on" in most cases and I would think that crticism and sarcasm from a person that failed to make copies of his entire file will be taken with a grain of salt. No sarcasm intended. NEVER give anyone in this process ANYthing without making a copy (or two) for yourself. You got lucky.

Dude,

Get a grip. Each embassy is different. VJ is to educate others and if the US Embassy in Bogotá was kind enough to give your wife back whatever documents she needed, then all you had to do is come back to this post and say something like "to clarify, this and this happened at the embassy". With that, others will benefit from your input. No sarcasm needed my friend.
