Over all it was a great experience, We arrived at about 6:15, got in line 3 and waited about 30 minutes before they started letting us in for security checks, once inside you are brought up to podium and given a folder to arrange all your documents and return it to the same podium and then wait to be called.
The first call was to window 31 to go through the paper work and my Fiance was asked some questions etc and asked for signatures and other documents we also needed the DS156K ( which we had filled out but some how forgot it ) Thankfully the provided us with a blank one and we filled it out.
Then you wait again to be called for finger prints, if you wear rings you will need to remove them the electronic finger print reader worked better after they were removed.
Then wait to be called for your interview, I was present through all the process and did not have to leave any window we went to. The questions they asked were simple and normal q... read complete review

We arrived at the embassy at 6:30am and there was no one waiting on line 3. We went straight inside and discovered that a lot of people were already inside. There were 2 sections- (1) for Tourist visa and the other for Resident visas such as the K1. The waiting area was outside, but they did have a clear overhead canopy above the resident section and a covered tent like enclosure for the tourist visa applicants. Thank god they had that because the rain decided to come on down. They sold drinks and snacks under the canopy also. It was quite a lengthy process as we had to go up to different windows at least two times before the actual interview occurred. The actual interview took maybe 5 minutes but we did not leave until about 3:45 pm, but thank god we were able to leave with a gigantic smile. Bring an umbrella just in case and also a warm jacket as it may be cold, rainy day. Overall though for us while it was tiring it wasn't a bad experience.

Everything takes place outside. They call you up to a window with a number. Arrive at 6-6:15. That let us in early. We were out at 10:45. They were interested in us having children because of the age difference. She (an American) talked with both of us. We felt she would have denied us had I not been there. She was nice. She was from the Washington State area. Make sure you both give the same answers. The Embassy was an OK experience but the days leading up to it are not good al all. Hotels are over priced and the travel across Bogota for doctors an tests take it out of you. We found good cheap food on the side streets a few blocks from the Embassy.
