Hello all 👋🏽

 

My fiancé just underwent the interview in Bogota, Colombia on Friday. He said the interview was great. The CO was laughing and smiling at all the stories he would tell about us. He said she was giggling like a school girl. The interview lasted about an hour and 15 minutes. He for sure thought we were approved, yet she came back with a 221g white slip stating we needed to submit an I-864 and a W2 for my mom since she’s the co-sponsor. The CO told him it’s just for extra verification. They kept his passport and all documents and told him to send the info directly to the embassy email. I sent the proper documents within an hour of him leaving the interview. We are currently in the dreaded administrative processing. 

 

I fell like it’s a good sign they kept his passport seeing as I’ve read online for hours that if Colombia keeps the passport, it’ll be issued soon after. But as with every step in this process, I don’t want to get my hopes up. 

 

What do you guys think? Anyone else been through this or something similar? Any info will help. 

 

TIA ☺️

Yes! It was a super long interview and it was all

positive. She went through his phone and checked our messages as far back as a year! Plus the keeping the passport I’m taking as a win. But this in between process of not knowing is terrible. Hopefully we’ll have some answers this week.

Hang tough, it sounds like the interview went well. Keeping the passport is a very good sign. You just have to let the government bureaucrats do their due diligence. 

 

Good luck on your immigration journey.

Did this issue get resolved @DanayVic? This almost exact thing happened to me in Peru.

 

Yes. Interview was in November and he received his visa in March. We just celebrated our 3rd anniversary and we are waiting for his 10 year resident card to arrive! He got in just before the airports closed for COVID. We were truly blessed.
