Get your wife re-entry permit (I-131) and send her down to Colombia.

The process can take anywhere from 6-12 months, depending on YOU. You can speed things up if you have everything ready for when their cases get to the NVC, get all their documents, forms and payments ready to go, so when something is completed, your stuff is pretty much at the post office being delivered at the same time, that will speed things along. The way to do this is by reading the EZSpouseGuide, then read it again, and then again, and again until it makes sense.

Also, your wife can go there and stay with them if it's for less than 12 months (which is the reason why you need to go through the NVC process quickly). After being there for 6 months the immigration official may question her long stay in Colombia; however, they can't deny her entry as long as she doesn't stay outside of the US for more than 12 months.

As for expediting your case, nobody will do it, neither the embassy, the USCIS, nor the NVC unless someone is dying or being deployed to some unknown place to defend the US or something drastic like that, so it's no use. Just stay on top of the NVC process, send your wife to be with her children until they get an interview (if you can afford it), and the'll be here in no time.

Is there an ex involved where permission is also required before those kids can leave the country?

Would have been much easier, if the wife and kid/s were all done at the same time, but guess its too late for that now. Major delay we had was getting that permission from the ex. But he gave it rather than have to pay some 12 years in child support payments, seven back payments and another five future payments.
