We arrived at the embassy at 6:20 for a 7AM interview appointment. Everybody waits across the street until a security guard announces that they will allow entry for people with specified visa types and interview times. We were allowed to line up for entry at around 6:40 AM. First we had our passports checked, then lined up in 3 colored lines- red, yellow and blue. We aren’t sure what the each color means but we were told to go in the red line. They checked our passports, the pictures which needed to have the full name written on the back. Then we were given green stickers and went through a metal detector before entering another line to have our documents checked. There were workers who helped organize our documents then we went to a window to submit them. We needed the following documents:
Birth certificate
Police records
Medical exams
Passport
2 pictures
Declaration of financial support (I-134)
G-28 (not required, but we have... read complete review

We got there about 6:20 a.m. for a 7 a.m. appointment.
Lining up outside the embassy was surprisingly orderly. I just thank god it wasn't raining. For K1 visa, there's no reason to fight or jostle. Your arrival time and appointment time seem to have no relation to when you are called to the window. Don't be afraid to ask questions about where to line up. Because K1 is sometimes called an immigrant visa and sometimes a non-immigrant visa, it can be confusing even for those who are trying to be helpful.
You go through an airport-style security screening first. Then there's a line to check your documents to ensure they are in the correct order. (You will be given a slip of paper showing the preferred order both at your medical appointment and at the CAS biometrics appointment.) Then there's another line where you hand in the documents at the window.
Then you sit and wait and wait and wait to be called. We were among the last to be called amo... read complete review

Interview 07/31/2024
Medical Exam Labs and Embassy Package - Highly recommend Dr. Jairo H. Roa’s office. Very efficient, very professional, very patient friendly, comfortable environment.
ASC - Location for biometrics are in the courtyard between G4 and G5. Very organized and we were in and out in ~20 minutes.
It has been said a few times but want to stress…..IF YOU ARE DIVORCED OR A WIDOW OR WIDOWER YOU MUST BRING ORIGINAL PRINTED(HARD COPY)DIVORCE DECREES OR DEATH CERTIFICATE. THEY WANT TO FEEL THE RAISED SEAL AND FEEL THE PAPER. Does not matter if your are Colombian(Beneficiary) or American(Sponsor). Same thing about the Colombian Birth Certificate, must be the original, stamped by the notary and translated. We had the birth Certificate, had it translated, but it did not have the seal and thus was rejected.
General observation was if you were able to get the window before 11-11:30am after the initial intake, mos... read complete review
