US Immigration from Colombia

My Colombian fiance had his medical exam and interview November of last year. He disclosed he smokes marijuana so they gave him the sheet of paper of why he wasn't able to get his visa, checked 1A4 because of his drug use with directions to try again in a year. So he had another medical exam November of this year. We then got an email stating he needs to bring his passport to the embassy and pay the visa fee. He did that yesterday, they took his money, and then they again gave him the paper checked 1A4 with a note stating he needs to come back in a year. Does that mean he failed his drug test? How many times will they tell us the same thing? We have two kids so this is devastating news. Is there anything we can do? I'm so in the dark, any help is very much appreciated.

Thank you.

I am american citizen and my mom is a green card holder. We would like to bring my sister who is 32 years old. What process would take shorter, if I apply or my mom applies if that is even possible?

Hi there. I ve tried to get answers to this via the forum and elsewhere to no avail.

We had to switch our application to consular filing in Bogota two months after originally filing in the US. We had to care for my wife s dying (now deceased) father.

We are five months into the process and used a US lawyer.

I am trying to find benchmarks for dates as we are renting out our house etc and trying not to have to sit by the phone waiting for our interview.

What exact things will we be notified of? Will we get notification once the case is approved and sent down here and how much notice will we get before our interview date? Weeks? Months? Days?

Will we receive ANY other notifications?

Thanks!

Hi everyone,

We got our I129F approved a month ago and now our case says ready on CEAC. I filled out the DS-160 and created the account in the ais website but I haven't be able to schedule a interview, does anyone know if the embassy is not scheduling interviews at all, when new interview dates are going to be available or how often the embassy releases new dates?

Thanks!
