We arrived at the Embassy at 6:30am and they gave us the green stickers to wear on our clothes in a visible place. We went through security and left our cell phones at the security building and were instructed to the waiting area. The embassy is doing construction in the waiting area so it is vastly different than when we first went there. They have a wall around where the normal waiting area is and part of the covering they have is torn down. Not sure what they are doing (hopefully they are making it more of an indoor type place, more on why later!)
We were all lined up on the north side of the waiting area and they asked the people who had 221 to come forward first. After they instructed them what to do they gathered the rest of us around and told us about the green folders and to put the papers in order and then come back to the person to check that we have them all in order, we then sat down and waited to be called to one of the green windows on the west side of the ... read complete review

Josh and Claudia's review mostly mirrors mine and Claudia's experience action per action. We actually entered the embassy 15 minutes late because the embassy workers were late. Our total time in the embassy was 3 hours 15 minutes. The weather was very nice, sunny skies.
Whe the CO called us for the interview she asked my wife how many times I had visited. My wife told her 8 times in 18 months with my son coming twice with me. She asked to see my passport which we passed to her. She then asked us about our Catholic wedding and how important our faith was to us. My wife explained that even when I visited for a short period we always attended Mass together and remain very close to the priest (Padre Valencia) who married us. She asked to see some photos so we handed her a stack of photos. She looked at some and smiled and said, "I am approving your visa." I was never asked any questions. At one point she switched from speaking Spanish to speaking English which was... read complete review

They sent me to DAS because of an extensive criminal record..Since I did nothing wrong in Colombia they did not give a shit and the Visa was issued..If they let me complete a K-1 visa application with 11 arrests for drugs and violence then anyone can do it..

So we got to the embassy at about 6:30AM, jumped into line #3 for IR1/CR1. Don't forget your 4 passport photos, you're going to need them starting now. Showed the lady the appointment letter and the wife's passport, both of us received green dot stickers to put on our jackets. We proceeded to security, which is almost identical to the airport, minus the fact that the embassy doesn't allow cameras of any type. After security we walked about 50 feet and got a little form from a Domesa lady who also puts a little Domesa sticker on the wife's passport. We then walked into the embassy waiting area and got in line with everyone else from our line #3 crew. The line was waiting for the green folder in which to organize all your papers in the order listed inside, and the nice lady at the desk will explain clearly what to do. You'll need your passport with the Domesa sticker, your passport photos, form DS230, form I-864 (with employment letter, last 3 years W2 and IRS transcripts), (both wi... read complete review
