Consulate Review: Bogota, Colombia Review Topic: IR-1/CR-1 Visa Event Description Review Date : August 24, 2012 Embassy Review : Our initial approach to the Embassy looked to be a long wait...but our line (line 3) was extremely short and we actually were the first in line (the other longer lines were for tourist visas). We presented our official letter then passed thru a security check were they took our cell phones and scanned any bags/purses. We were given green dots/stickers to place on our shirts and were told to proceed to gate 3 or 4. We only waited a few minutes when we were called to the window. A middle aged Caucasian gentleman with a thick Spanish accent was on the other side. He first asked my wife a few simple questions and my wife had to ask him to repeat something once due to his accent...to which he was apologetic and kind. He then called me and asked me a few simple questions...my wife signed the papers and we were told to sit and wait to be called again. Approximately 15 minutes later, we were called and we told everything was in order and that we should be receiving my Wife's visa within 2 weeks (which only took 3 days - in Bogota). Overall, super simple, easy and with out any hitch. javascript:emoticon('') Rating : Very Good

*Notice about estimates: The estimates are based off averages of other members recent experiences
(documented in their timelines) for the same benefit/petition/application at the same filing location.
Individual results may vary as every case is not always 'average'. Past performance does not necessarily
predict future results. The 'as early as date' may change over time based on current reported processing
times from members. There have historically been cases where a benefit/petition/application processing
briefly slows down or stops and this can not be predicted. Use these dates as reference only and do not
rely on them for planning. As always you should check the USCIS processing times to see if your application
is past due.

** Not all cases are transfered
