Se me olvido por completo poner la versión en Español después que puse la de Ingles, entonces aquí la tienen.
Version en Español:
1. Llegamos a la embajada tipo 6:45 de la mañana. Esperamos en la línea numero 3 ya que después de leer VJ, muchos de los miembros dijeron que esa era la línea para visas CR1. Esperamos por 5 minutos en la línea y una representante nos dio un sticker con el numero 40. La representante nos dijo que siguiéramos y que formáramos la línea contra la pared a la mano derecha.
2. A las 8:00 de la mañana, después de estar haciendo la fila por un buen rato llegamos a donde estaba la funcionaria y nos dio una carpeta que tenía instrucciones en cómo organizar todos los documentos. Ya que nosotros habíamos enviado el %95, lo único que pusimos en la carpeta fue el pasaporte, exámenes médicos y las fotos.
3. A las 9:45 llamaron a mi esposa a la ventana número 23 donde le preguntaron unas cuan... read complete review

Buenos Días Queridos amigos del foro:
Por aqui reportandome despues de tantos días, para postear, yo misma por fin VISA APROBADA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!. A continuación va mi relato. Primero que todo les revelaré mi secreto; por el cual yo estaba muy temerosa en este proceso. Yo soy sobreviviente de un cancer de seno desde hace tres años. A pesar de haber tenido una recuperación lenta y dolorosa, gracias a Dios en los examenes de seguimiento de este mes, todo salió muy bien, desde alli yo empecé a sentir, un gran optimismo, por el proceso, pues aunque tener cancer no es motivo para negar la visa, si es un agravante para la aprobación de esta, si hay tratamientos pendientes, pero gracias a la misericordia divina, puedo decir que hasta el día de hoy el me ha dado una nueva oportunidad en mi vida. Ahora si este es el relato de la entrevista: Mi baby llegó el miercoles finalmente a las 10:00 de la noche, como un milagro pues pudo abordar el unico asiento que quedaba en el ... read complete review

My wife's IR-1 visa was approved yesterday. We waited for 6 hours for a less-than-two-minute inteview. The very pleasant C/O asked 2 questions: "How did you meet," and "what were you doing in Argentina when you were there for 6 months." (she took a course in multi-media animation). Then she asked to see some of our evidence. My wife asked her if she wanted the photos or the paper evidence, and she asked to see photos. We took the photos out of the wedding album and the other album, and the C/O glanced at a few of them and then said "congratulations, you are approved." It was sort of anti-climactic in a way, because I did so much preparation of the documentary evidence - I had all my boarding passes, emails, phone bills, IRA account and bank statements and she didn't look at it. I suppose it was good to prepare for any and all eventualities.
The worst part is the insufferable wait, where you watch other visa applicants stand at the windows for up to 45 minutes... read complete review

We got the visa approved yesterday 06172009. That is an adventure. Bogota is hugh. The doctor you have to use is on one side of the city. The clinic for the blood test etc another side. The bank you have to use to pay the embassy fees (301,300 COP) another. Monday was a holiday. I asked three people what is the holiday, they did not know. The doctor that signed Claudia's report said he thought it was related to Lent or St Peter or maybe St Paul. Anyway we had to do all of this paperwork on Tuesday before the interview Wednesday morning.
The interview is waiting (in 7AM out 11 AM)in a hugh open but covered patio in the embassy and waiting to be called to a window. It is like in a prison, she talked on a phone with the interviewer behind the glass. We went to two windows and the last one asked me several questions about how I met her, how many visits, and had we been to another country together. She then said I am going to approve her visa and it will be about a week bef... read complete review
