I 94 can be obtained online 

Yes we found that while searching online. thank you for the information

Thank you for the information. One of the main goals of reporting the lost/stolen visa and passport to the issuing embassy is to ensure no one else can use it for whatever reason. I emailed the embassy in Colombia but haven't received a response. Most of the information I am finding will allow us to use a copy of the passport and visa. luckily I took a picture of both of them once we received them but I do not have a picture of the entry stamp that was on her visa. If I can get her a military dependent ID card then this whole situation won't be as bad and she's fine with waiting to get her US passport and then traveling back to Venezuela to replace her other passport.  

We were recent victims of property theft. My Wife’s passport from Venezuela was stolen. Since there is no embassy or consulate in the US what are our options? We have pictures of the passport and visa but I’m not sure what good that will do for us. Thanks for any help you can provide for us. 

the checklist we just received from the embassy says "Authenticated photocopies of final divorce decrees". I've been divorced twice and the last marriage ended a decade ago. My divorce paperwork from TN is original but you can barely feel the seal from a couple of the pages. NC only gave us a "true copy" stamp document. So this should be interesting.

The Registro Civil de Nacimiento (birth certificate) for her son. She brought a copy but forgot the original. Got left out of the mountain of paperwork as she prepared her file for the trip.

 

This was an ordeal. It seemed like nothing in Bogota went according to instructions she had previously been given necessitating multiple changes of flights and more. Glad this is almost over. Should have visas in their passports in a matter of a few days.

 

And then we still have the trip to the US, the wedding, the Adjustment of Status, and applying for a F-2 for her daughter who aged out while the world shut for COVID. Feels like this is near closing the first chapter of a very long journey.

 

Thank you for the response and congratulations nearing the end. We are just starting the process (gathering documents and filling out the I-129F) and are prepared to wait 12-15 months before her approval. My fiance will have to travel from Venezuela to Bogota and from reading this thread I will just have her stay in a hotel for 7-10 for medical, interview and her visa.

Managed to fill out the I-134, signed, scanned, and emailed. 

 

She went in with a folder of 75+ pages of various documents,  not just the Affidavit of Support.  And was approved, pending sending in an original of one document that she only brought a photocopy of.  Sigh. Always something. 

 

 

What original documents did they request?
