Depends on which city from Colombia you're flying from.

 

But I'll take FLL. Miami is packed. Been to both. 

Immigration journey is not: fast, for the faint at heart, easy, cheap, for the impatient nor right away. If more than 50% of this applies to you, best get off the bus.

I'd pick FLL.  I hate MIA because it is so crowded.  

 

I'll know better in a few days as  I am currently over seas and will be returning thru MIA.

Give a man a fish and he will eat for a day.  Deport him and you never have to feed him again.

I started out with nothing, and I still have most of it.

I went bald but I kept my comb.  I just couldn't part with it.

My name is not Richard Edward but my friends still call me DickEd

I fired myself from cleaning the house. I didn't like my attitude and I got caught drinking on the job.

My kid has A.D.D... and a couple of F's

Carrots improve your vision.  Alcohol doubles it.

A dung beetle walks into a bar and asks " Is this stool taken?"

Breaking news.  They're not making yardsticks any longer.

Hemorrhoids?  Shouldn't they be called Assteroids?

If life gives you melons, you might be dyslexic.

If you suck at playing the trumpet, that may be why.

My main concern is which location is less likely to cause a bare bulb interrogation 

Why do you suspect there would be an interrogation?  That was already done at the consulate...LOL  I have heard of only one K-1 visa holder being denied entry.  When asked by CBP, "Are you going to marry within 90 days/", the visa holder said "Maybe. maybe not".  Rumor is that he was swiftly placed on the next flight out.

In summary, it took 13 months for approval of the CR-1.  It took 44 months for approval of the I-751.  It took 4 months for approval of the N-400.   It took 172 days from N-400 application to Oath Ceremony.   It took 6 weeks for Passport, then 7 additional weeks for return of wife's Naturalization Certificate..

So I’m concerned for no reason. My fiance wouldn’t be as ridiculous as that to say anything like that.

 

I fear that all of you have misinterpreted this post. I’m trying to decide which airport would be more pleasant, take less time, etc. I am closer to Fort Lauderdale but it would be nice to pick her up in Miami and drive her up A1A for the scenic route.

she plans to live here /u can do the scenic route anytime

do easy now

she'll  want to get someplace and stretch her legs ,relax a little 

I flew from Peru,  stop in Bogata overnight as the plane had issues and then onto FLL / all i wanted to do was get home 

FLL is easy / the peruvians flying in on my plane had short interviews with immigration

The chances of a bare bulb interrogation is the same at either port of entry.

 

Do us all a favor and look up the two port orocessing wait times to determine what is best for you because time of day has a significant impact
