Consulate Review: Bogota, Colombia
Review Topic: IR-1/CR-1 Visa

Description |
| Review Date : |
July 26, 2009 |
| Embassy Review : |
1- Be early since there is alot of people on line by 6am
2- Dress accordingly but not formal (not needed)
3- Be ready for a long day
4- Be mentaly prepared to see sadness from people frustrated for not getting approved.
5. Be sure to get all supporting documents to proof relationship since meny people were delined for not being prepared.
6. Most important of all "pictures" take many pictures which they will ask for them, it is the first thing they look for but everything else still important.
7. Make sure to have enough money to buy something to eat inside the embassy since it will be a long wait.
8. over all it was a good experience, they are very organized and make sure to take as much evidence with you than needed, it's better safe than sorry but belive me they will ask for it. |

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.
