Bogotá 07 de Diciembre de 2006
Sí, la verdad ha llegado el día es el día de la entrevista en la Embajada de Estados Unidos.
Me levante muy temprano a las 4:30am, tome un taxi y estuve en las puertas de la Embajada a las 5:45am era la cuarta persona haciendo fila.
A las 6: 50am unos señores de seguridad dieron la orden para hacer la fila en orden y más cercana a la puerta de ingreso es así como nos dijeron que teníamos que prestar atención a los parlantes…
A las 7:00am dijeron que las personas de visa K1 (como la mía) teníamos que hacer la fila en la parte con el numero 3 allí me ubique y al rato salio una señorita revisando cada uno de los documentos y poniendo en un lugar visible un stiker redondo de color verde.
A los pocos minutos nos hicieron ingresar, mostré mi pasaporte, mis formularios DS-156 y mi hoja de la cita.
Luego nos dijeron donde hacer la fila, fue en un punto cerca de los teléfonos qu... read complete review

The embassy staff and personnel were great. We were so comfortable and had very little stress to worry about. Diana's son didn't go with us to the interview and the official was a little put off by this, but we were informed that he didn't need to go...in the end he said that her son needed to be there to pick up the visa, but that we were approved. She took her son the next day, but no one asked to see him. For all of the hassle and everything that we went through, it was absolutley worth it. She is here now and we are married. Her son is coming at the end of the month and we will finally all be a family.

well, after never receiving packets 3 or 4 in the mail (even though the embassy swore on their life that they sent them), we finally made it tot the interview. carlos arrived at 5:30am thinking he would be the first person in line for interviews that were to start at 7:00am. well, when he got there, despite the rain and the cold, he was 10th in line!  things proceeded as one would expect and he finally got his interview at around 9. several questions were asked of him, besides the typical "where did you meet?" he was asked:
1) where did you learn english?
2) how did you meet?
3) what university did your fiancee attend (now, i thought this was a little weird bc even though i know that carlos went to university myself, i have not clue what it was called. so, carlos got a bit nervous when he did not know the answer. regardless things went smooth)?
4) does she have a car?
5) are you sure you want to move to chicago (man, our weather alw... read complete review

The process went really well for us, she arrived to the Embassy around 6:15 AM, waiting for about 20 minutes before they started letting people inside. The gentleman that interviewed Luia spoke to her in spanglsih throughout the interivew (but only after he asked her if she spoke english). After about 10 questions, he said that she could return at 4 PM to pick up her visa since she was from out of town. However when she returned at 4 PM it was not ready, so she had to wait another day to pick up her visa.

Summary: it was the same service you expect in any government office, probably of any country. However, I think the difference is that these people have great control over the future of those they are serving, so perhaps some of the embassy employees let it get to them and are a bit more rude than they should be. (Perhaps those like us also allow it because we are scared to make ways.)
Below are the details of our experience:
As I talk of "embassy" and "windows" and "interviewers" do not think so much of an office environment as I was expecting. Picture an outdoor pavillion with lots of black iron fences and concrete walls. The seating area was a covered concrete area, perhaps like the an eating area at your favorite amusement park. The windows where the questions and interviews where held seemed more like concert ticket windows than anything else.
Our appt was for 7:00. We showed up at 6:00 and were about fifth in line. A couple of street ... read complete review
