Das from Colombia

[mmm52 0]

My fiancee from Medellin became a US citizen last year. We've been working on the paperwork for her mother to come up with a greencard. One of the requirements is the DAS from Colombia. However, they are both worried that her mother's DAS will show that she left Colombia for Spain in 2004 and stayed for 4 years. She didn't have any visas for this. Does anyone know if this will be looked at as an issue by the US? My thought is that it may be an issue if she were applying for a visa as it shows she may overstay, but since this is a greencard, there's no risk of that. Any help or experience here from others would be greatly appreciated! Thanks.

Her Certificado Migratorio (Migratory Movement Certificate) will show all exits and entries from and to Colombia, so her stay in Spain will be there. The DAS will hand her the certificate in a sealed envelope that only the embassy will be allowed to open. However, her overstay in Spain should not be an issue. Make sure she's honest in every form she fills out about this overstay so that it matches her DAS certificate. Tell her to answer all questions from the CO with honest answers and she should be ok.
