Venezuelan CR1/IR1 Embassy Interviews in Bogota, Colombia

Hello, I am a US citizen sponsoring my Venezuelan citizen spouse for an immigrant visa. Our I-130 petition was recently approved and we are now at the beginning of the NVC stage. Since the US Embassy in Caracas has been closed for over a year, I understand that the immigrant visa interviews are being conducted in Colombia. I would love to have some insight into the process of a Venezuelan traveling to Colombia for the final interview, and anyone that has been through this process personally is someone I would love to hear from.

In the interest of planning ahead, I have several questions:

1) Is the US Embassy in Bogota even open right now due to COVID-19? Are interviews on hold?

2) How much advanced notice is given for the interview date (to plan for travel to Colombia from Venezuela and from the USA since I intend on going to be there to support my spouse even if I cannot attend the interview)?

3) Must the medical exam appointment be made and completed in Colombia?

4) Must Spanish documents be translated to English even though Colombia is a Spanish-speaking country (I ask because I read conflicting information online)?

5) How long after the interview is the immigrant visa issued and what options are there for receiving back the passport with the visa in it (return to embassy, DHL)?

I may have other questions which I will ask later, but these are the most pressing. Thanks in advance!

Just a little background info:

I'm the USC and my husband and I had a K-1 applicantion turned COVID elopement (he came for a visit right before the pandemic hit). We are wanting to get the AOS filed as soon as possible because he would like to start working again. I'm taking his last name, but I'm wondering if I should complete all of that before submitting the paperwork with my new name? Would it cause complications for us?

So like a lot of you who are in a pre-interview mode, you are stuck right now with all the embassy's shut down, our interview will be in Bogota. We are supposed to have the interview by mid July and somehow I don't see that happening during this Covid-19 crisis. The NVC said they are holding all paperwork that they would normally be sending to the Embassy's for interviews. The nice thing is she did provide me with my Case # which they received from the USCIS on April 2nd. So she told me when we send your paperwork to the embassy you will get an e-mail notification. But my problem is with my paperwork being held the Bogota embassy doesn't know I exist.

So I asked how will the embassy know to extend my date for the interview when they don't have my paperwork? Is it automatic? and if it is, again how would I know the new date?. At the NVC website it only states "The I-129F petition is valid for four months from the date of approval by USCIS. A consular officer can extend the validity of the petition if it expires before visa processing is completed" So I assume its going to be up to me to contact the Embassy in Bogota at some point and ask for an extension.

Anyway if you have anything to add to this feel free or maybe you have already run into this before.

Hi!

I m currently needing to get a state ID. I don t have a driver s license (i don t drive), so I ve always used my Permanent resident card for ID purposes. My green card is about to expire, and due to the current situation with COVID19 i don t know if I will be able to get an appointment with the DMV before the expiration date. I do have the extension letter for my green card. I was wondering if the DMV will accept my expired green card along with the extension letter.

i would appreciate any info or experiences you can share with me. Thanks
