| Embassy Review : |
Our Interview at the Bogota Embassy was on Oct 7th 2010.
Maritza and I arrived in Bogota on Sunday, 3 Oct. We spent Monday - Wednesday doing the Exams and Vaccines, as well as a visit to DAS to pick a document that was waiting for her since about 3 weeks ago.
Thursday was the interview. We truly felt blessed with the weather, since it had rained all week and was cold all day long for the past 4 days. This day was warmer than we had seen all week, and the sun was out..
Maritza and I arrived at about 5:45 am. There was already about a dozen people lined up. We were soon asked to move to an area closer to the Embassy Gate where a women came out and started giving instructions over a PA System. They first separated the Line by Visa Type. K Visas were moved to line 3. They then started giving out instructions about what items to have in your hand.. The Items they were looking for were Beneficiary Passport, 4 Passport Photos, DS-156, Interview Lettter from P-4, and my Job Letter (Original).
After confirming your passport and Interview Letter, we passed through Security Gate..
Once inside the Embassy, we were directed to a Desk where documents were confirmed. All Applicants were givin a folder with instructions taped on the inside cover of the folder explaining which documents to place in the folder..
The things they asked for was DS156, DS156K, Passport, Passport photos, DAS police certificate, DAS Carta Migratorio (Sealed Envelope from DAS), Birth Certificate (Original), Job Letter, and my 3 past years Tax Returns.
Once those items were assembled, you were again required to return to the desk where your documents were inspected. We were then directed over to windows 30 - 35 waiting area. we sat for about 2 hours. Maritza was called. I went up with her but was told to sit down. The lady went throught Maritza\'s documents and asked her how we met.. We were then directed over to an area near windows 2-7 where we wainted again for about 90 minutes.. Maritza was called and agian went alone to the window. She was asked 2 questions about my last trip to Visit her and How we met. Maritza told me the lady was friendly and smiled at her and told her her documents looked very good and was approving the VISA...
my main suggestions is to take the time to prepare ahead of time. Make sure you start early getting your tax documents in order and have your fiancee start gathering her required document early.. You can do much of this while waiting for NOA2..
We had all the normal evidence of our relationship, but they asked for nothing. I was never interviewed.
I can\'t get over how simple and painless the Embassy Experience was and how the Approval was given.. We had tons of evidence, but the didn\'t aske for any of it..
Maritza and I spent most of the day wondering if it was really over and our approval was real or had we dreamed it...
The US embassy is once of the nicest I\'ve seen, the do sell food, drinks inside and the restrooms are clean.. Great Experience overall..

*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.
