We arrived at the embassy at 10:15 for our 10:30 appointment. We went to line 3 which was shorter. There we discovered that we had forgotten the photos at home! Trying not to get in a fight, we quickly went across the street and my husband had two more photos taken which cost 10.000 pesos! We came back to the line within 10 minutes and then waited about 10 more minutes for them to let us in.
We went through "security" but they did not take our cell phones. I guess the rules have changed. We past by the regular line and almost immediately went up to the window where my husband spoke with a Colombian woman in Spanish. She asked him about some of his trips to the US, about me living in Colombia. She also asked for his police certificate.
We then sat down for a few minutes and got some coffee at Crepes and Waffles. While we were there, they called us back for the 2nd interview. My husband did his fingerprints and signed the form. The American man asked him ab... read complete review

My fiance was approved today. I was not able to travel down and be with her for the interview but I spoke with her several times about what questions would be asked of her. The questions I saw in other reviews were very helpful. Make sure all of your paperwork is organized. Do this by using the guides within this site relating to K1 Visa's. Carefully check and double check everything, making sure there are no missing signatures. This is especially crucial if you can not travel to be with your fiance for the interview. My fiance decided to spend the night at one of the many inexpensive hotels near and around the US Embassy. Google "Casa" and Hotel and Bogota and US Embassy and a slew of nearby hotels will pop up. Prices range from $50 to $100, depending how far in advance you can reserve the room. The previous day she arrived from Palmira at 7am after a 12 hour bus ride. Please be advised that the medical offices for the lab tests and the medical physical are quite a distance ... read complete review

My fiancée's visa was approved in February/13. She is now here in the US with me and we are getting married next week.
The IO asked my fiancée several questions like how we met, how many times had I been in Colombia visiting her and a few more intimate questions. Fortunately, I decided to travel to be with her during the interview and at the end, I can tell that if hadn't gone to the interview with her, the visa wouldn't have been approved.
My fiancée mentioned to the IO that I was there with her and he totally ignored her, but then he asked my fiancée to call me to the window and while my fiancée waited seated a few feet away, the IO asked me exactly the same questions he asked my fiancée, plus two or three more in detail.
At the end of the interview, I felt that some of the questions were somehow too personal, but I guess they are in that position to ask.
If I need to make a recommendation to anyone having an interview at the Colombian Consulate, tha... read complete review
