Colombia - length of time from the TB Sputum test to VISA in Hand??

[Juango22 1]

Hi,

So my fiance has already had the K-1 interview. The consulate told us that everything looked great, and gave us the approval, but pending the receipt of the medical package. The medical package is being delayed due to the requirement of the TB Sputum test. The Doctor told us 8 weeks for the test, and then we would have the VISA within a day or 2.

But can anyone please tell me EXACTLY how long it took you from the 3rd day of the TB sputum test to the receipt of the VISA ? I have heard 8 weeks and I have heard 12 weeks. It would be very helpful to have a more precise timeline so we can plan trip, etc.

Thanks so much !!!
