just did a rough count of the March schedule for interviews in Bogota as listed on the US Embassy Website in Bogota.

there are over 800 total scheduled interviews listed for the month of March

of which over 200 are for K1 Visas

I am guessing this is a typical schedule for the the Bogota Embassy

I believe this list of scheduled interviews is for Immigrant Visas only.

I think these numbers support the general consensus that "proof of relationship" is crucial for a K-1 and the presence of the petitioner can only help. 200 K-1s in one month......no wonder visa fraud is such a big concern in Bogota....that's a lot!
