I’m sorry I miss spoke. They ask for the copies of the petitioners passport that is proof of citizenship.

They take a passport.

To someone in the same position you were in it would make sense to include a statement in your updated letter of intent that you plan to get married at the local courthouse as soon as practicable.

Those raised seals are going the way of the horse and buggy and paper files. Most court clerks have better things to do than sit around and emboss raised seals on documents for a couple of bucks. Everything is electronic now.

Bogota is requiring the petitioner’s birth certificate as well. As the previous post related, it is embassy specific.

The I-134 form is the stupidest form you will ever encounter and I, too, recently struggled with all its nonsensical twists and turns. There should be a separate form for when a beneficiary intends to support himself. You don’t have to complete that ridiculous section 4 if the beneficiary isn’t supporting herself. I sympathize.

This makes one feel happy just to read what you went through. It is a very happy ending and thank you for sharing all the details of your journey. Your experience shows that anyone can overcome the red flag with the proper documentation and perseverance. I was not aware that the petitioner could accompany the K-1 beneficiary to the interview in Bogota.

I was hoping that somebody would answer my question instead of dump irrelevant general information.

My fiancé has an appointment for biometrics with the ASC on Monday morning at 7:00 and the consular interview is the fooling day. I want to know how long that biometric appointment will take to know if she will have time to leave there and collect her sealed envelope with her medical exam results from the doctor's office.

You were smoked at your interview because you didn’t prepare for it. You should have had a lawyer in the first place. Gather all your evidence and recall what you told them at the green card interview so they don’t bust you out again,

Now the medical exam is scheduled for 7 July, the ASC appointment for 17 July and the consular appointment on the 18th. How long does the doctors office take to prepare the packet? How long does the ASC take for the biometrics?

My attorney completed the DS-160 and obtained the confirmation page. Now we can go online and schedule the visa interview with the embassy. However, there is a conflict between the recommended timing between the medical exam and the interview. The Bogota Embassy guide posted here states the medical exam should take place 3 days before the interview but the packet that the embassy sent recommends that the exam be scheduled two weeks before the interview. Can anybody shed some light on this discrepancy?

Our K1 petition filed on August 2021 was approved on 11/7/22; it was received at the NVC on 12/20/22 and sent to the Embassy in Bogota on 1/31/23. The Embassy sent email to me and my attorney on 2/10/23 asking for my fiancé's email address to send her correspondence. My attorney's paralegal told me that she filed the DS-160, finishing around 2/23/23 and told us that the Embassy would be sending an appointment letter soon. This is in conflict with the Packet of instructions 3-4 that the Embassy sent, which states that the beneficiary should log onto the site after the DS-160 is filed and pay the fee, schedule the fingerprint appointment, the interview appointment and the medical appointment. Your VJ site on Bogota states to schedule the medical appointment 3 days before the interview however the Embassy states that the medical appointment should take place 2 weeks before the visa interview. Did the paralegal drop the ball by telling us to wait until the Embassy schedules the visa interview appointment or should my beneficiary have gone online right after the DS-160 was filed and schedule the appointment(s)?
