The Embassy
Thank God the sun was shining the day of the interview, which was a departure from the overcast, cold, rainy weather that plagued us daily in Bogotá.
We arrived at 6:00 AM and were the first ones to stand in line 3. We knew from VJ to stand in line 3. Moments later, after some embassy personnel began explaining which lines to stand in, we were literally "moved out of the way" by a large, old, grandmotherly looking lady and what appeared to be 3 grandchildren (teen agers and/or early 20's). Ironically later, she was victimized by the same treatment by another "grandma type" person, and her little (apparent) granddaughter.
The entire embassy experience took place outside, open-air, with some canopy coverage that increased as we progressed thru the interview process.
One of the advantages to being one of the first people in line is that once inside the embassy, the first line we stood in had only about 8 chairs, a... read complete review

we arrived at 6am in the morning. there are 3 poles but don't think light pole size like i did. more like broom handles that are about 8 feet tall with numbers 1, 2 and 3 on them. bring an umbrella. we didn't and had to buy one from some lady but it was only 5 bucks. everyone was in line 1 but i had read to be in line 3. we didn't move to line 3 because it is in the grass and dirt. around 6:30, the announced which line was for what and we moved to 3. you needed your passport in your hand and the appointment letter. they put a green sticker on your shirt after you showed them your passport and letter. we were let in early, around 6:45. they checked purses and you went through a metal detector. we then went inside and lined up for the line that was for our type of visa. then a lady gave a little speech about the process and then we got a brown folder that had k1 on the outside and a list of documents on the inside. we put them in order and waited. my fiancee got called withi... read complete review

Real quick: I highly recommend based on my personal observations that if you are doing a K1 the petitioner SHOULD fly down for the interview. I flew down. All I witnessed were girls being questioned for long periods of time and leaving crying or had to return with more information. The ones who's fiances flew down were all approved and approved within minutes. I was asked for my passport to see if I actually saw my fiance the times I did.
It was not a bad experience for us but I did see it was for those who did not have their fiances present. In any event, if anyone would like my wife, who is from San Gil & Bogota, to post what she thought of the whole process in Spanish so your fiances can read it, just let me know and I will have her do it. Thanks...and good luck. We are living happily in Las Vegas, married and with a child on the way.
