Did they give any explanation as to why they are taking so long?

[neophi 5]

That's a good point, Scott. It took a lot shorter than what users were reporting recently as to USCIS -> NVC time frame. I took 2 weeks or less for CSC to forward my case to the NVC, yet it took 6 weeks in your case... wow. Then you got the interview within 2 days, and now it's been two weeks since I faxed/mailed packet 3 and still no interview.

I was aware about the thread for the Colombian Consul and saw a lot of questions that were just a waste of space on that thread.

Good luck Brian and Yenys, I am sure everything will go great for you guys. Update on the DOMESA pickup. Lina told me she spoke to the reps and can pick the visa up today. This makes day number eight since the interview. That is the date that DOMESA projects too, so at least they are keeping their word on that. Anyway I hope this helps some of you guys out. By the way, is there a forum for the AOS or life in America or anything like that? Take care guys.

AWESOME...THANKS JMARSH

Tuesday the 20th - 1st full day after interview...

Wednesday the 21st - 1/2 day for the embassy...

The Colombia Club forum is absolutely the best source of information available! Had I only known before the process began, I would never have spent the money on a lawyer!

So I am officially ready to join the party! My case left NVC via DHL yesterday (Wednesday) I am hoping it will be recieved in Bogota by Monday, so we can fax packet #3 then and call Wednesday to verify reciept. What are my chances that Bogota will recieve by Monday?

Erica and Bundy,

Read through this up to date post for the info you're looking for.

Thanks for the information! Very helpful. We hope to have the paperwork faxed to Bogota today and pray we get a January interview date! I'm sure I'll have a few questions to ask before the interview! Thanks again for the info!

Come on people. VJ will select 10 questions to be submitted to the embassy. I think we are really missing an opportunity to get the answers to some important questions from the Bogota embassy if we do not participate in the thread where people are submitting questions.

Do we really want the embassy to be asked questions about the statue of limitations on drug convictions and how to recover original documents that were submitted with the I129F? I am sure these are important questions to a few people but wouldn't it be better for the embassy to be asked the questions that are frequently raised and discussed here?

Please reply to my post on that thread and express your agreement or disagreement with the questions I submitted. Then add any additional questions that you think should asked in your reply. Then the next person should reply to the reply etc. This will magnify the impact of our questions and maximize the chances that our questions will be the ones selected.

Thanks!

Lucho......Good Luck !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Im sure you and your VJ masters degree will have no problem!!

Yay to Bill's insistence on the VJ questions. At first I found it a bit strange to have gotten the Embassy that WE went through... and I think that at least a couple (2-3) questions should be dedicated in their entirety to Colombia-specific issues. I took issue with the vaccines problem a lot of us had here and tried strengthening that one.

I am sure we have plenty of Colombia-specific questions that we want to ask. Lets show the rest of the VJ community how interested we are in doing things right and concomitantly helping others perfect their approval records.

[BYRON-LEIDY 0]

Posted my questions yesterday and Capt. Ewok messaged me that we should have the answers to the 10 chosen questions by Friday..

It's safe to say that there is a degree of mismanagement (at best) or corruption (at worst) at all stages of the immigration process. The business with the doctors and vaccinations in Colombia and with the so-called civil surgeons here is the best and clearest example. The issue with civil surgeons in the US is disgraceful. These people are probably getting paid by the government and are then also gouging the patients for an exam that is little better than two first-graders playing doctor with a plastic stethascope.
