I bet this has never happened before. My wife got her resident visa after two years. We went to the US and stayed only two weeks. We had to return to her country because both her mother and father had to go to the hospital with severe health problems. The green card hadn't arrived before we left. The green card arrived after we had left and my daughter in the US mailed it to our address in Colombia Well it didn't arrive for a month. So I looked at the tracking number and it was delivered to Lagos, Nigeria by mistake. The delivery address was correct . I don't know if it was stolen or just misdirected to Nigeria. I contacted the USPS to inquire and they said they would look into it. So far nothing. It costs around $500 to replace it and takes any where from 7 months to a year to get a replacement !!!!!!!!. Incredible. I am not sure if she can enter the US without the green card. You are supposed to have in your posession at all times. Anybody know if she can enter? Any ideas?

Thanks for all the replies.

Received the passport with the visa in it today. Just now. The IV issue date is 25JUL2023 with an expiration date on 30DEC2023..It is an IR1 visa. Why is it good for only 5 months or so? Too late to call the embassy in Bogota. On the bottom of the visa it states: 212(g) (2) (B) IV DOCS IN CCD UPON ENDORSEMENT SERVES AS TEMPORARY I-551 EVIDENCING PERMANENT RESIDENCE FOR 1 YEAR Any ideas on what this is about?

Finally! 2 year wait. I have forgotten what the embassy sends you now. My documents and visa in passport. Are there still documents sealed that you carry to the US?

Can I send a requested document on a 203g letter to the US Embassy in Bogota by Fedx or another courier service?

I hope so. Thanks for the info.

I think it will. I should have looked closer at the divorce stipulation. After the acceptance at the NVC I thought the document was ok.

Well we waited 2 years so far. Another wait coming up I am afraid. The embassy wanted a divorce decree from 25 years ago. I had submitted a divorce stipulation which looks like a decree. The NVC accepted all my documents. They kept my wife's passport and told me to send in the decree. I called the clerk of court and they promptly sent me the decree. They said to use a special DHL that will send it free. So I took the decree in an envelope. The clerk said there was no authorization. I told them I would pay for it. They said no. That is not possible. So I went to another DHL and sent it to the consular section for visas. I don't know how long a delay this will be. Anybody run into this problem?

I am getting " invalid email or password" on my wife's email. The embassy sent an email to her email stating that she had to register her visa appointment. On my email it says the same thing. I have tried to change my data on email and password to no avail.

Hi I have tried many times with both emails and including the original email for my account. Nothing works. What happens if you don"t register it? Can I send an email to the Embassy in Bogota?

I tried both and neither one worked. Thanks

Do I use the petitioner's email or the applicant's email?

Are Bivalent covid 19 vaccines available by the panel physicians in Bogota, Colombia?

If I am reading this right only one dose of any of the covid vaccines is sufficient for immigration purposes?

That is what I thought. Thanks.

Ok..I found the site. It is the CDC which says that only one dose is requiered for covid 19 for Johnson and Johnson vaccine.

My wife has not any covid vaccines. I am the petitioner. Her interview is coming up in July for IR 1 visa. I thought I read just recently that only 1 is required now for the visa. The second dose is for her to do whenever she has time. I can't find the article again. Does anyone know if the 2 dose requirement change? Thanks

Thanks

Finally an interview with the US Embassy in Bogota after almost 2 years. I have been reading some of the articles about the embassy. Some say the petitioner can be in the embassy and others say no...anyone know the latest? We have been married almost 3 years and I have been a legal Colombian resident for more than 10 years. I hope the interview goes smoothly. Also is the biometrics done at the embassy? Thanks for any comments.

II am a 20 year Colombian resident. My wife is the mother of a US citizen. She is the sole owner of a condo here. Thanks for the responses. Yes, I meant the petition was approved.

My wife has been approved for an immigrant visa. We live in Colombia. We are having 2nd thoughts about migrating to the US. Would itbe easy or hard to convert the CR1 to a tourist visa. She owns an apt here in Colombia free and clear in her name. She hasn't had the interview yet in Bogota nor an apppintment yett. Any thoughts?

Just received DQ today. At last.

I don't have an appointment yet and no DQ yet. Visa approved but some problems with my app for RE issues.

I don't understand what this means. " This case does not meet the minimum income requirement to sponsor the intending immigrant. To avoid delays an additional Affidavit of Support form I 864 from a joint sponsor may be submitted. For more info visit NVC. The consular officer will make a decision regarding this requirement at the time of the interview." Well, my income is more than 3 times the minimum requirement. I stated that on the form. I made comments on the form that stated that VA benefits are not taxable. I am well above the minimum. Any ideas on this? Thanks
