That´s great news, I´m glad I was able to help. I am still waiting for mine, but your husband´s approval gives me hope. 

That's amazing, I'm jealous!  But of course happy to see good news for you in Bogota.  Congratulations.

Thank you!
 
You were right, this was a good thing! The following day our visa status changed to "Issued" and we received a phone call from Colombian embassy that our visa was ready to be picked up! 
 
October 5th visa in hand!!! 
 
Thanks sooo much to all for the support.

Thank you!

Just wanted to give an update 09/21.
I received an email from the Embassy about my administrative processing.
 
They simply asked (translated): 
"Thank you for contacting us. We have visualized that your appointment was on September 1, 2020. Could you please tell us if you have the petition for this case, if so, please upload it to your NVC account and then send it to us by this means scanned in PDF and thus be able to pass it on to the officer in your case."
 
The message was quite unclear to me about which petition in particular..I feel as though there are many. 😂 I asked my friend, who is an immigration paralegal, about this message and she said to upload my I-130 Approval Notice of Action and send it to them. Seems like that's all they are asking for now?? 😵

I understand. hopefully this is it, and they will provide a positive response on your case soon. 

I cant believe they got that intrusive of his cell phone. Some of these officers are ridiculous. 
Anyway I hope it works out for you. I would have to say they are just suspicious because of the living with GF and the past rejections. 

Just letting everyone know that there was no problem. It was changed to “Issued” a couple of days later, and the lovely wife is in possession of her I-551 stamp!

I am on the same boat as you my husband had his cr1 visa on 8-12 and was put under AP as of 9-1 so it’s a waiting game of patience, i pray it doesnt drag as much as I’ve read others has 😭. My husband also filed for a tourist visa before our marriage and was denied then i flew to his country to marry a month later, in their eyes that seems suspicious too, for us it was a cultural thing that he had to come marry me not vice versa but unfortunately he was denied so we had no other way but for me to visit him. 

Sounds like they have doubts about the bonafides of your relationship.  All you can really do now is to wait and respond if they ask for anything else.

Esperemos que nos den cita a todos!! Creo que las visas CR-1 y K-1 tienen prioridad, de turista la verdad la veo complicada en estos tiempos.

They processed 12 CR1/IR1 visas in May

Everyone stay hopeful!  They are processing applications faster than you think!
 
I received my NOA2 in 49 days!!! And in 2 days got sent STRAIGHT to NVC and received my case number to pay fees & get started!!😧
I am very much in shock that this is flying by so quickly. 
 
Do not get discouraged..stay faithful and keep your hopes up during this time!!❣️

Great to know someone else in a similar situation as myself  - wheww!
I did not think of the humanitarian flights for our spouses... That would be great, if feasible! I see the Embassy is quite active on Instagram, twitter, etc. So, hopefully they'll be up and running soon.

I'm in NY and hubby in Colombia.. would really like to attend the interview at Embassy with him, but I'm just assuming it will after Aug 31st. 
Let's be hopeful they will start scheduling appointments soon and that they'll consider re-opening the borders!

I thought about trying the same with Bogota, but our problem is going to be that even if they do accept, the international borders are closed until August 31st.    I don't think they'd give me an expedited interview anyway during the limited services, but the border makes it impossible.

We are also with Bogota embassy and I emailed them directly and only received an automated response basically saying everything already stated on their website.

Speaking of the official US Embassy Bogota Twitter account, in the last 24 hours they have responded to a few tweets from people asking about when visa services will resume with the generic "We will resume as soon possible, but are unable to provide a date."

I actually saw someone ask the US Embassy Bogota Twitter account a similar question, and they said responded from the official account this: "Humanitarian flights operated by Spirit Airlines have been made available to allow US citizens and Legal Permanent Residents (LPR) to return to the United States."

Me!!! My husband is in Colombia and I am NY as well. I'm very concerned about them having closed their borders through end of August.. I was planning on attending the interview. I also have all the original documents needed for the interview, and you know how bad the postal system is there so I wouldn't want to mail them. I keep checking but the embassy has posted nothing about interviews yet. Do you think once they are granted the visa, they would be able to take one of the humanitarian flights here that Colombia is offering?
