US Immigration from Colombia

Today I went to my interview for I-751 and has a young officer asked a lot of detailed questions like what did you husband wear last night and what breakfast did he eat? I answered wrong as I didn t prepare for this type of detailed questions.

I was separated from my husband and was asked first and then my husband was the second to answer but there are a few questions we answered differently.

and the officer said in 2020 bank statement there was only 8 dollars deposit to the account that it shouldn t be as my husband uses that card for groceries all the time.

anyway the case now became the interview is completed but the case must be reviewed.

I don t think my case will be denied but will I need a second interview? What should I do please? In case it gets denied I can still remain in us and appeal? How does it work please?

Hi Everyone,

I haven't been able to uncover any threads that covers our exact situation so I am hoping for some guidance for others through this new thread.

I am a native-born American who has lived outside the U.S. for the last 23 years in several countries because of my job. I met my wife, who is Colombian, in Colombia 11 years ago and we have been married for 4 years. We also have a 1 year old son who already has an American passport. My wife does have an American tourist visa (B-2), which she has used a few times (and never overstayed) and she has around 6 years left on it. We have lived and worked in several countries around the world (and my wife has worked in 2 of those countries). However, we will be returning to the USA to live in 2-3 months and thus, I would like to start the process of getting her Permanent Residency and perhaps citizenship in the USA. I've been reading online that the first step should be to file the paperwork for the IR1 Spousal Visa. My first question is will her B-2 tourist visa be automatically rescinded when we start filing the paperwork for the IR1 visa (due to flagging her for intending to immigrate)? Again, she has never overstayed on her B-2 visa and doesn't intend to- she'll simple leave the country every few months.

My second question- my sister-in-law (who is now a U.S. citizen but immigrated from Venezuela 15 years ago) mentioned that nowadays there might be a streamlined way to permanent residency for those who can already enter the U.S. legally, made possible by some recent immigration reform for Venezuelan/Colombian citizens? Does anyone know anything about this? That's my main line of inquiry I'd like to explore; the most efficient and less time-consuming pathway for my wife to start pursuing a green card, given her situation.

Thank you for your time and I look forward to any feedback from those in the know.

Hi all,

My fianc e (Colombia) and I (USA) are considering getting married ceremonially and setting a date in August, 2024. Has anyone tried this and will this affect our ongoing K1 visa petition? Should we consider doing this in the US on her tourist visa and then come back to Colombia while we wait for approval if we haven't received it by then or would it be better to simply do it in Colombia and finish the legal aspect in the US upon approval?

Thanks everyone!

Could anybody tell me the documents to upload to ceac to support the form I-864. I uploaded the following:

• Form I-864 (signed)
• Certificate of naturalization
• Tax Return Transcript

I received a message saying: "This upload contains two documents that must be uploaded separately, or you submitted this document as the wrong Document Type. Please delete the uploaded document and submit the document under the correct Document Type"

Am I missing something? because I do not understand what it is that I uploaded wrong. As always, thank you for your help

My fianc e was approved on august 28 at the Bogota embassy for the k1 visa. Her status changed to issued on the ceac website the next day. On September 2 she received a phone call informing her that an anomaly happened during a search of her name and dob and that her dob on all her documents was incorrect. Instead of 1984 it should be 1985. Her status in ceac still says issued and we have had no further contact with the embassy. To this date we have not received the passport back. I have emailed the embassy with no response. Has anyone heard of something like this happening and what was the eventual outcome?
