Bogota Colombia Embassy Interview - Internal Processing

[Robert_y_Leidy 0]

Ok so my fiancee and I are thoroughly confused now. We went to the interview on 26 April 2014 and everything seemed to go fine. They ask my fiancee a few questions about our relationship and then they proceeded to ask her questions about her brothers and sister, nothing out of the ordinary. My fiancée talked to them for about thirty minutes and they called us back up to the window. The lady stated that they couldn't give us the VISA at the moment and they need to perform some additional processing. They told us this internal processing could take a few weeks to three months.

Ok so what gives? Since they gave my Fiancee back the passport can we assume that they are just going to say no and are just going through the motions? I would have thought that if they were just doing some additional processing they would have kept her passport. Has anyone else had this happen to them? We are so worried that they are going to deny it and don't understand why. We have had a relationship for two years.

Any info would help.

Thanks,

Robert and Adriana.

It sounds like she was put under Administrative Processing. Did they give her anything at all? They usually give you a document explaining the process which like the CO said, could take between a few days to a few weeks to a few months. They just need to do a more extensive background which is the reason why it could take a while. But don't assume that the visa was denied if the CO didn't tell you it was denied.
