Question for Colombians...

Do you know what papers exactly to bring to the embassy the day of the interview???

I'm a little lost with it...letter from NVC says I don't have to bring any paper but that letter, but I have read most of people bring many things and the embassy asks for them...

My biggest question is...do I have to ask for immigration records again, that's my only concern because other than that I have pretty much everything but that one, which was a closed envelope I was told not open and sent just like that to NVC.

"IMMIGRATION RECORDS: Applicants who have been denied admission to the United States, requested extensions, changed status, applied for asylum, been deported, or granted voluntary departure from the United States must bring all relevant documents from the Department of Homeland Security or the immigration judge."

The list I found is this:

  • Appointment Letter received from the NVC
  • Passport(s) valid for six months beyond the intended date of entry into the United States
  • Police Certificate(s)
  • Birth Certificate(s)
  • Court and prison records, if applicable
  • Military records, if applicable
  • Color photographs
  • Marriage Certificate, if applicable
  • Evidence of financial support (e.g. Affidavit of Support, a notarized offer of employment, or evidence of assets)
  • Divorce decree or death certificate of spouse, if applicable
  • Family-based cases: All original documents establishing the relationship between the petitioner and the applicant
  • Employment-based cases: A currently valid letter from the prospective employer confirming the essential elements of the job offer

We are trying to get all our papers together but we are kind of lost :help:

You're exactly on the right track. Don't over kill it. Bring a folder with everything you have up to this point (just in case they ask for anything so you don't get caught by surprise, even though the letter says they have everything. You never know). Also bring a copy of your "Record Migratorio from Migracion Colombia" which they shouldn't ask for but just in case. Be aware though that this document takes a couple of days to be generated, so request it now @ your nearest "Migracion Colombia Office."

Here is the link to find the office nearest you. You have to request this in person and I think it costs around 47,000 pesos or so.

It's 6 pm India time, and I leave tomorrow morning to Mumbai. I'm getting my medicals done the day after, Wednesday, and my interview is next Wednesday. Just reviewing my evidence package, which is huge, right now. Also need to pack and get a good night's sleep. Need all the luck and good wishes I can get. Pray for me please, everyone.
