My wife (born in Cucuta, Colombia) arrived here in the United states this past summer on a K1 (fianceé) visa and we are now married. We are trying to prepare for the USCIS Adjustment of Status (AOS) process but need to get an official copy of her birth certificate (Registro Civil) in order to do so. All information that I have indicates that this is only possible by someone physically going to the Notaria in Cucuta and requsting, paying and collecting the document. We have no family or friends anywhere near Cucuta to support us in this effort. Can you help. Are there agencies/companies in Colombia that could possibly provide this service for a fee and then send it to us here in the states? Can you suggest some other solution?

Your wife must know someone in Colombia that might have a friend that can go a ask for a copy of the marriage certificate. I was born in Valledupar a tiny town in Colombia and all my family is in Bogota and my mother always finds a way to get someone to go get a copy of my birth certificate and send it to her then she goes to the notariado an registro herself and gets it certified.
