I'd like to share my experience with you and give you some advice....
Don't get there any earlier than 645am..- it does not make any difference… once you are inside, they will call you in random order – (one of the ladies there told me they call the elderly and families with children first)…. you are going to be there all morning (in our case…the consul finally interviewed us at 2pm)!!!
You don't have to bring the x-ray results to the embassy… you are going to be stuck with it all day!!! They already have the results from the exam when you turn in the envelope they provide you with.
Please, please!!! Wear warm clothes!!! Even though Bogotá is not that cold, after about 4-5 hours it'll get to you!
Anyway, we were asked to go to "punto 40" which is a little stand (not a window number) where they give you a green folder with a list of docs you need to put in the correct order, don't rush, they called us at 1130a... read complete review

I have been in the US embassy 3 times already sponsoring family members and here are my experiences (k1 for me, then me bringing mother, then me sponsoring student visa for sister, then me again sponsoring sister).
1. K1: I met my husband in Bogota. No pictures together. No records of our phone conversations. He was 18 years older! (I was 21; he was 39 and never married). The day of the interview there were many k1 visa girls who got the visa denied because they did not have enough proof, pictures, etc. They were sad and crying. I was surprised. I knew my visa was going to be denied as well (and I did not care). I was inexperience and did not know anything. I did not know anything about the process, the questions, etc. The day of the interview I told the truth. I said I was going to the USA to know him better and to meet his family. I was surprised that the consul approved my visa, and told me that I had 3 months, and if I did not get married in those 3 months I h... read complete review

Very well, we all, the visa beneficiaries, entered the embassy at 6:30 am and everyone at the embassy was very pleasant and nice. It seems as if people with this type of visa were treated much better than others. We started staying in line 3, and then we all got some green stickers. At this point, we were told to go to kind of cubicle.
While waiting in line there, one of the receptionist handed us a folder indicating what order we should place all our documents. Be careful, for the form DS-230 must be there too. One thing here is that the vaccination worksheet are not needed, for it is already in the documents sent by the doctor; however, I was carrying it just in case.
After one and half hour of waiting, people were called to hand out the folder with all the documents in order. By the way, the young woman at the window was not in her best behavior to say the least. Then I was asked to have my fingerprints taken, but it took about half hour before ... read complete review
