Interview Date
June 9, 2010
Result: APPROVED
We started the day by calling a taxi at 6:00am. Our apartment (www.welovebogota.com) was close however we did not have much luck with calling for taxis as it was hit or miss with them. The taxi arrived at 6:10am and got to the US Embassy at about 6:20am. We waited in line 3 which is right outside of the Embassy walls and the ladies in the hot pink vests verified our appointments and let us in the Embassy. We did not get the appointment letter so they had to call and verify our appointment before letting us in.
We then processed through security which is very similar to a security checkpoint at an airport. I’d also like to say that they don’t allow cell phones with cameras, cameras, mp3 players and a lot of other electronic devices in the embassy and you will need to check them in if they find them.
We then went to line 40 or immigrant visas and were given a folder to organize our documents.... read complete review

The consulate people were basically fine. The gal who first organizes your paperwork could probably use an attitude adjustment, but, she was just a minor player in the day's activities.
US consular officer was a very cool guy. All his questions for both of us were completely straight forward.
Bring a small umbrella to the embassy, as you can get stuck standing outside waiting in line to get into the embassy in the morning. If its raining, and you didn't have an umbrella, it would be kind of a drag.
We had our paperwork well organized and had no problems.

Approved
Got to the Embassy about 5:45am about 20 in line before us.
6:30 am they have you line up by visa type we were Line 3 for K1 visa
7:00 am Domessa agent puts a number on your passport and starts a delivery invoice for each passport.
7:00 am given a folder to put in the list of documents (3) 1 for fiancée and one for each child
The Form DS-156 I was mad that the bank made my fiancée re-fill out was the wrong revision date but accepted by the embassy.
Bogotá uses the red serial number of the passport not the one that is on the passport in the passport number area. (I understand you use the passport number that we would expect to use for travel documents)
8:00 am called to window 32 and documents were reviewed and asked for signatures on a few forms that were not to be signed until this point. Strange part of this step was the woman would lower the shade and say we will process one child at a time and one minute later ra... read complete review

I will try to describe the process for us with hopes of helping someone else. My finace had her first interview with it ending a request for more evidence for her son and a request for me to attend the second interview. We had a good hotel close to the embassy. Our hotel provided free airport and embassy transportation. The name is Hotel American Dream. I think some things at the embassy are very professional others need some attention. Most of the people are very nice a few lack some people skills. The process started at 6 am in line they processed us checking our new evidence and gave us a appointment to return at 1 pm for the interview. They called my fiance,I naturally went to the window with her, I was promply told to go sit down. I do not have a problem with this, I still do not understand the next comment. I walked away and stood out of site from the interviewer just thinking of another cup of coffee, I was 10 feet from the rows of chairs standing in a court yard. The interviewe... read complete review
