A few questions about Direct Consul Filing

[Vintage 0]

Ok so I plan on staying in Colombia for about 8 months, from June to Febuary of next year and getting married. I've already tried the K-1 route but was denied and received a 212(a)(5)(A). I wondering if I eligible to do the DCF after having been denied.

You would be able to file but only if you are resident in Colombia for at least six months and also married. Just visiting or having a tourist type visa would not count.

Whether or not your K1 denial will matter depends on the reason for the denial. If it was simply that they did not believe the relationship was real, that is much less likely to cause much trouble with the DCF process as long as you're married, resident in Colombia, and have proof of living together. If there were other reasons, you are likely to run into the same problems again.

Getting a visa in Colombia as resident is not that easy, make sure you answer the 212 otherwise you will be considered having committed false visa application. also file a FOIA es[ecifically asking to see the report they sent to USA from Bogora.

Freedom of Information acts can take over a year. If you know the reason already , such as lack of a bonafide relationship you may not want to wait for the FOIA
