Consulate Review: Bogota, Colombia
Review Topic: K1 Visa

Description |
| Review Date : |
January 30, 2013 |
| Embassy Review : |
We arrived at 7 AM for a 7:30 appointment and stood in line 3 (which was only a "line" because of one person ahead of us). The other lines were quite long.
We passed through security and were told inside how to arrange our paperwork and then the lady would come tell us where to go. Once everything was arranged, we waited in the sitting area near the Iguana Cafe, a little kiosk selling drinks and pastries. There is also a Crepes and Waffles stand there.
A few minutes later, the lady told us to go stand at the yellow line at window 5. When the people in front of us were done, the woman at Window 5 called us forward. She asked for the documents and medical exam results, which we passed through the window. After a quick revision of everything, she organized the papers for signature, and passed them back to my fiance who signed them and returned them.
Very little questioning going on other than "Your name?"
We were then told to wait again to be called. About 30 minutes later, we were called to window 2 where an American was handling the interview. Some quick questions like "where did you meet your fiance?" And "How many times has he visited you?" Of course, I was standing right there, so it was obvious there was a relationship.
He took the electronic fingerprints, obtained another signature or two and said "You're approved for the visa" and then handed a short instruction sheet on what to do next.
Over all, a very orderly process. IF you have the documents in order, and we had about 2x as many documents as were needed, it appears to be smooth sailing. |

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.
