Mr. Ross

Why did I even bother to provide you with this excellent information ? Do as you wish - Good luck to you.

A K1 visa is a request to the US government to allow you to bring your fiancée to the USA so you can get married. This starts with an engagement and an engagement ring and then wedding plans which are all included in your K1 visa package. A visa package without significant wedding plans, photos of an engagement event etc will probably result in an RFE asking for this evidence. Don’t forget you need 2 letters of intent to get married too signed and dated & properly filled out.

Is the US Embassy in Bogotá Colombia conducting K1 visa interviews ?

When you get the Affidavit of being single for your fiancée from the Colombian government get it translated into English by a certified translation company. Then write a short letter to the service center that is handling your K1,case with a copy of the Colombian government affidavit of being single, the certified translation and the NOA1 letter. In your letter - Briefly apologize for forgetting to submit this affidavit and respectfully request it be added to your K1 visa package. USCIS can accept the addition, or not, it’s up to the visa officer but go ahead and be proactive with this suggestion. This should cover the service center adjudication. Upload the certified affidavit of “being single” at the NVC CEAC stage under other documents include the translation. Bring the original letter to the visa interview. Then 2 weeks before the face to face visa interview at the embassy both of you write new letters of intent to get married clearly stating you are both single - and legally able to get married in the USA. You can get the Colombian government affidavit certifying your fiancé is single at this address in Bogotá Colombia - Carrera 7 - Calle 32 - numero 17 - Edificio San Martin, Bogotá Colombia

In Colombia it’s a normal term of endearment but we recommend you get a letter from the Colombian government that attests to your fiancée’s single status. its called an affidavit of single status and can be easily obtained from the Colombian National Civil Registry - The address in Bogotá is Avenida Calle 26, #51 - 50. - CAN This letter states your fiancé is single and free to marry - get it translated into English. Have this affidavit of single status letter ready in case you get asked about the chat logs. Either from the service center or at the embassy interview. it overrides any playful banter and chat in your chat logs. Relax - you will be fine ok

My first wife was from Colombia and I submitted dozens of pages of chat logs using these terms of endearment - it’s normal in South America to use such terms of affection even though not real - on paper 📑 using the term promatida and promatido is redundant here in Colombia. If engaged you are now the esposo in Latino culture. My first wife visa was approved no problem. Now I’m waiting on my second K1 visa for my beautiful new wife and our chat logs contain the same words as you used - mi esposa mi Esposo etc. Relax - if your fiancée gets asked about it she will tell the immigration officer it’s a normal means of showing affection in Colombia 🇨🇴 Which it is - don’t sweat it ok - I’ve been there and done that twice now 👌
