1- Be early since there is alot of people on line by 6am
2- Dress accordingly but not formal (not needed)
3- Be ready for a long day
4- Be mentaly prepared to see sadness from people frustrated for not getting approved.
5. Be sure to get all supporting documents to proof relationship since meny people were delined for not being prepared.
6. Most important of all "pictures" take many pictures which they will ask for them, it is the first thing they look for but everything else still important.
7. Make sure to have enough money to buy something to eat inside the embassy since it will be a long wait.
8. over all it was a good experience, they are very organized and make sure to take as much evidence with you than needed, it's better safe than sorry but belive me they will ask for it.

Otra vez, esta vez en castellano.

CONSEJOS:
1. Debe traer unas toallitas húmedas para limpiar los teléfonos que se necesita utilizan para hablar con los empleados en las ventanas.
2. En el sitio Web (julio, 2009) dicen que ponen la lista de cita en el 15 del mes anterior, pero de verdad no lo hacen hasta el 20 y más tarde si el 20 es día festivo colombiano o americano o un fin de semana. Dentro del paquete 3 dice la lista "se actualiza alrededor del día 20 y 30 de cada mes".
3. Se puede llenar el formulario DS-156 por Internet (https://evisaforms.state.gov/ds156.asp). ¡Hágalo! El paquete 4 (Paquete de Instrucciones para visa K) en inglés que se encuentra en sitio de Web de la embajada (http://bogota.usembassy.gov/appt-package.html) tiene enlace, pero la versión española que se encuentran en

TIPS:
1. Bring "sanitary wipes" to clean off the telephones you have to use at the windows you visit.
2. Their website says (as of July, 2009) that they post the appointments on the 15th of the month, but inside package 3 (THE INSTRUCTION PACKAGE FOR IMMIGRANT VISA APPLICANTS) they say, "our online appointment schedule... is updated on on/about the 20th and 30th of each month". The latter is the correct information, and if that falls on a weekend or Colombian/US holiday it will be later.
3. You can fill out the DS-156 form online (https://evisaforms.state.gov/ds156.asp). Do it! The online Visa K Appointment Package (package 4) in English found at the embassy website (http://bogota.usembassy.gov/appt-package.html) links to this, but the Spanish version found at embassy website (http... read complete review

Todo parecia ir bien hasta que el consul me pidio una carta del DAS con los movimientos migratorios de mi prometida ademas del reporte de embarazo de ella mas sonogramas, los dos ultimos yo los tengo, pero obviamente yo no tengo lo del DAS de ella.

Consegui los documentos, volvi a ir y me aprovaron, no me hicieron mas preguntas

My wife tells me that although there were a lot of visa applicants (all types), the process for the immigrant visas was well organized and went fairly quickly for her. They line up in three lines at 7am and at each step there was some waiting. She arrived at 6:45 am for the 7 am appointment (everyone has a 7 am appointment). She was given a folder for all her documents, was finger printed, and then had the interview. The CO was female and very nice. She only asked two questions - how did you meet and where does you husband live. She was approved and finished by 11:30 am. The only original document they did not return was her police certificate. All in all, a very easy process (we did pray a lot about this.)
