i bet, i find things complicated in Colombia too! I lived in 7 countries and gosh Colombia is so far the most complicated one and it pisses me off lol but oh well, we'll all be together with our spouse at the end  

Why, for my wife´s Birth´s Certification only took me 10 minutes to obtain it, if you have money, the same company that translate you the documents do the Apostille, Police records of Colombia are obtained online here:

I'm just talking in general, for example being a citizen and having a Colombian mum i had to wait 5 months to obtain a Cedula and Passport, my dad(Italian)they gave him a Cedula after only 2 weeks! And many other things, not my cup of tea on how they do things here, i'll just wait to see about the police certificate when the time comes!

No, no , no, The consult about Police certificate is made online,and it´s results are obtained momentaneously, then you print it.

I have a foreigner cedula (Mandatory after the first 15 days of entry to Colombia).

Don´t Worry about that ok!

Hey premiere of new photo alsoo, hahahaha , lol.

One advise, if your cedula is not registered in the Database of the National Police of Colombia, write to this e-mail address:

dijin.araic-atc@policia.gov.co and send them a Photocopy of both sides of your cedula and please ask them to include it in their database for online consulting!

The Link will guide you to the answers apge of what to do if the Cedula is not registered, is the question 6!

haha yes, that's us lol

and ok, i usually always gave my italian passport for previous certificates, but i guess being looked up with the cedula will make more sense for colombia

It´s mandatory sending the cedula photocopy! With the Italian Passport they will do nothing!

Even if we are talking about the Marriage Certificate, because I have the original one from my country: Cuba, but no Apostille...

"No Apostille" means exactly that.  However, the best you could have is a Certified Copy.  The "original" is a government owned document.

Re-Reading again what @pushbrk says is true, at NVC website is never mentioned apostille at any stage! After re-reading again thousands of times seems to be like this!

My question is that if in the case of Cuba and the "very special relationship" that they have with U.S if is not required an Apostille, because Cuba issuing the document REQUIRES apostille for using it abroad!

Cuba's "requirements" like any other country, have nothing to do with what the US requires.  I use absolute terms like no, never, and none for a reason, not by accident.

It might be interesting to see if there's a difference.  Some people complain USCIS doesn't update regularly. So it will show no movement and suddenly jump by quite a bit.  Sorry you got stuck with Nebraska... notoriously slow.   Ironic you lived in Roatán.  I lived in Bogotá a year.
