US Immigration from Colombia

We received the notice of petition approval last month in June, approval said 3-4 weeks for another letter about case creation but we're at the end of that and heard nothing. When can we expect the interview. Looks like people are waiting months for an interview after the petition approval letter, I hope I'm wrong.

Hello everyone!

We are getting ready to apply early for Citizenship and I think I have most things gathered already.

Quick question about the marriage certificate! Ours was translated and notarized back when we were married in 2020. It was "faithfully and accurately" translated here in the U.S, but the "Commission" stamp of the notary expired this year in April 2023. Not sure if this detail matters.

Would it be valid anyway? Or do you all think I would have to get the document re-translated?

Thank you so much!

Hello Community!

My wife is pregnant with twins and I ve just secured a job in her home country. We should be gone for about a year. We want to do the process (i131) right and ask for the travel document before leaving if possible. We need to go back because we don t have any support here and we already have one child. My question is do we:

1. Do the application online

2. Mail it in

3. do the application abroad when we get to her home country

thanks! Any advice is appreciated!!

Can I send a requested document on a 203g letter to the US Embassy in Bogota by Fedx or another courier service?

My husband and stepson went to their interview at the embassy in Bogota, Colombia on 7/6/23. Colombia is now implementing a new procedure at each interview where the applicant's name is matched to known ex-guerrilla members in Colombia. If there is a match, the applicant is told that their visa is approved but pending issue until the applicant proves they are not the person who matched their name. This happened to my stepson during their interview. After the interview they had to send an email to a government agency requesting a special document be forwarded to the embassy stating my stepson is not the person he matched names with. We received a confirmation from the government agency that they received our request but there is no way to follow up or check status (they never answer their phones or respond to email inquiries) - the only way we're going to know this document went to the embassy is when they issue the visa (they kept his passport). Has anyone going through the embassy in Colombia had this same experience? If so, how long did it take to get resolved?
