I don't know what the wait time is in Columbia, but there was a time that you could get through the provcess at USCIS in two weeks or less...

IT WAS CALLED VERMONT....

Hola Byron-Leidy,

Great Post!!! And, we would ALL like to know this process to expedite this process to a very short period. BUT, the reality of it is that we are all in the same boat...and our applications get processed in (more or less) the same period of time. Currently about 6 - 7 months. Those with RFE's may take a little longer. All other things being equal, we are treated equally by the USCIS. There are no "special favors" or whatever to expedite the process. It is simply a game of waiting...and waiting...and waiting. My wife uses the term frequently, "PACIENCIA, Craig, PACIENCIA!!"

On the bright side, I have found that by communicating with my wife via e-mails and MSN Messenger that it has allowed me to "see" more about who she is and why I love her so much. For example: Recently I sent her some money for a new dress and shoes to wear when I make my next visit to Bucaramanga in September. In a very sweet e-mail to me, she explained that she gave some of the money to her father who was in a difficult moment. So, I saw a very generous and unselfish side to the woman I love very much. Instead of buying a dress and shoes...she gave help and assistance. I was quite impressed with my wife!! I am very proud of her.

We are relatively "new" members of the VJer's and I spend a lot of time "looking and lurking" through the postings about the process. I have great respect for many of the "old timers" who give help, assistance and good answers to the postings. I recommend that you "relaje" about the process and allow things to proceed at their own pace. You are very early in the process (As are we!) and the best thing to do is listen to the advice you receive from others on this site. Believe me...IF there were a way to expedite the process to 1.5 months...we'd all be aware of it!!!! My wife would tell you, "PACIENCIA Byron, PACIENCIA!"

Sincere regards,

I've heard this scenario before and there is some truth to it, but not for a K-1. Before the Adam Walsh act about 6 months ago, going DCF was the quickest route to a visa. If everything was assembled, a 1-2 month wait to visa was doable. Unfortunately I no longer believe this is the case due to Adam Walsh, and the new process is not nearly as quick. I'm not an expert on DCF, but the posts I've read on VJ about it seem to be inline with what you have heard.

Just be careful with what information is given to you. Everyone (not on this site...but in my world...lol) told me all kinds of things. I'm a researcher and gathered enough information to be able to do it the right way and not make any mistakes. (I found VJ after I sent in my petition... ) Just we very careful and take your friend's information with a grain of salt and do your own research. Maybe they DO know someone that can get you moved up on the interview docket or something. I don't know. Just make sure you know what you're doing before you do it. And if you do find out a secret formula.....bring in to us!!!! PLEASE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Good luck!

Thanks, i wont be listening to fictional informatio anymore...by the way tracy, take it easy girl, no need to be so uptight...were all here to learn and try to get by this process..

Confused and uptight are the same thing? Well color me happy, I've learned something else today!

I think when it comes down to it we all want to find the magical way to expedite this process...im hope and pray for all of us that this goes fast and smooth!!!!!!!! and you are right i need "paciensia"...unfortunately , i dont have any!!!!!!!!!! by the way deron, its true i nhave heard from so many that they did it in such short time, but who knows how long ago and how true it is...one of my employees married his wife in Colombia 2 yrs ago and she was here in NY in less than 2 months...i could only beg and wish to be that lucky
