| Embassy Review : |
Today, our visa was approved! Just got back from the embassy here in Bogota. Here are the details:
*Appointment was at 7:30
*Arrived to the embassy around 7:00 after finishing a fast breakfast at a hotel about 5 blocks away and walked to Line 3 (bypassed long lines 2 & 4) where we waited for 1 minute and were greeted by a woman who confirmed our appointment and instructed us to enter the embassy.
*1st part of the interview was a little adverse as we met with a Colombian woman at 7:30 at window 5. She was wearing reading glasses and gathered all the papers which were put in order according to a sheet provided to us upon entering the embassy. The Colombian employee behind the window appeared a little rude, gathered a fraction of the documents I had prepared (D-156,D-156k, Fiance's passport, 2 photos with fiance's info written on back, one 2011 Tax copy, letter from my employer, and a letter from my bank).
*We were instructed to sit and wait for our name to be called around 8:00 am by the employee at window 5.
*We sat, enjoyed a tinto, prayed to God and my fiance's name sounded around 8:45 am to report to window 2.
*We reported to window 2 and were greeted by an EXTREMELY nice American female who asked my fiance the following:
Q: What is your name?
Q: Is this your fiance standing next to you?
Q: When did he arrive?
Q: Where will you be living?
*The professional & nice employee then said Congratulations, your visa is approved and will be sent within 5 days to the DHL office!
*We were back in our hotel at 9:15!!!!
God Bless the staff at the Embassy here in Bogota, Colombia!

Timeline Comments: None yet, be the first!
*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.
