Most of the posts on this forum relate to the IR-1/CR-1, not the K-3. Stick with what was written in the Club Colombi forum. My wife will be coming on a K-3 from Colombia and I found the info in Club Colombia to be quite accurate. If I can help you, PM me.

I too received my K3 Approval and just found out this morning NVC received our K3 Package on Monday (11/27/06)! So I am hoping it will arrive in Bogota by next Monday or Tuesday (12/4/06) and then I will have my wife fax and courier the same documents recommended in the Colombia Club short cuts and tips for speeding the process along!

Bueno Suerte!
