Consulate Review: Bogota, Colombia Review Topic: IR-1/CR-1 Visa Event Description Review Date : October 13, 2017 Embassy Review : We had our interview at 9am but arrived early after reading all the other stories. Sure enough they did not have any people waiting and as you showed up they started you on your process. It was a beautiful day so rain and cold weather wasn't a problem but the waiting area is outside so it could get cold and or rain on you. The first part is walking up to a lady close to the street and she advises you to go to the line 3 (we were very lucky and no one was in line. we have read that these lines can get very long) A nice man came and asked for her Birth Certificate, Marriage Certificate, Medial Results, Police Record, Two photos and passport. He checked to make sure we had them and then gave them back and placed a green sticker on both of us and told us to move forward. We waited about 20 minutes and then were called to a window that we spoke to a lady through glass and using a phone. She was the nicest lady and basically reviewed the files that we organized with the first man. She gave us back our copies and said they werent necessary. We asked if we needed translations (we got them just to be sure) and she said its better that you have them but not necessarily a must. After she verified the documents she gave them back to us with a number and told us to go wait in seats and our number would be called. we probably waited 10 minutes and our turn was up. Again you go speak with someone through a glass window and use a phone to talk. This was the actual interview, and they allowed me to stay with my wife ( we did see some of the other windows tell the spouse to go sit down). The interview was so simple and easy and the lady was so nice. She asked my wife "how did you meet" and then asked "how long have you been together". my wife gave good solid detailed answers and that was it!!! Visa approved and said we could pick it up in a week. WIthin 4 days it was ready to be picked up. This process could not have been any nicer or easier. 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.
