Our interview was scheduled for 10:00 so, were there by 8:00, asked were to go and someone from the embassy asked to review our paperwork. This person made sure we had all the papers, (interview letter, pictures,police letter,doctor's letter and passport)and told us to wait by the cafe. Mind you ,it was probably 8:15. We sat down and after 20 mins. We heard my wife's name over the loudspeakers calling her to the window. Some other embassy worker went over the paperwork, asked us for some missing papers and, about 10 mins. later the consul showed up. Asked my wife how did we meet, if she has met my family, asked her to tell her about the wedding and where did I work, have her swear that all her answers were truthful and After that he said: "congratulations your application has been approved" took her fingerprints, had her sign part two of DS-230 and gave her a piece of paper so she could call DHL for visa delivery. And wished her the best of luck. We were out of there by 9:00

Well it's very hard to give a review since i wasnt the one i was there. Based on what my husband told me, i am going to try.
My husband went alone to his interview. same deal line 3/green sticker/security
first lady was the colombian - Ask for test results, passports and police record
waited approximately 1.5 hours before being called.
Once called..same drill - my name/his name/how w met/where we got married (this was a tricky question.. they used the different country to get him confused - but my husband is so confident!)Have you ever applied for a visa? sign ds-230/fingerprints/approval/welcome to America and then the consul gave him the DHL instructions.
His interview was approximately 10 minutes. He said everyone was very nice and he was not asked to give any documents other than the police record.
They actually gave him back some of the originals we sent to NVC.
Happy and are feeling oh so Blessed!... read complete review

Visa interview was set for Monday, 10/22/2012 at 7:30a. We arrived at the embassy gates around 7am and walked right up to Gate 3, the other lines are for tourist and business visas and are very long. Gate 3 only had about 4 people waiting in line.
After going through security we were asked to go to window 5 where a nice lady reviewed our documentation. We had a bit of a panic when the lady said the police certificate we brought was not the right one (it said "Procuraduria General" and not "Policia Nacional") so she gave us a permission slip to go outside on one of the internet cafes and print the right version and bring it back before 8am.
After we gave the right piece of paper we waited to be call for the interview with the consul. The lady at the window kept the passports (fiancee and her son), DS156, DS156K and Affidavit of Support with documentation, but returned everything else including the DS230s. This is the longest wait and my fiancee was a ner... read complete review

Today, our visa was approved! Just got back from the embassy here in Bogota. Here are the details:
*Appointment was at 7:30
*Arrived to the embassy around 7:00 after finishing a fast breakfast at a hotel about 5 blocks away and walked to Line 3 (bypassed long lines 2 & 4) where we waited for 1 minute and were greeted by a woman who confirmed our appointment and instructed us to enter the embassy.
*1st part of the interview was a little adverse as we met with a Colombian woman at 7:30 at window 5. She was wearing reading glasses and gathered all the papers which were put in order according to a sheet provided to us upon entering the embassy. The Colombian employee behind the window appeared a little rude, gathered a fraction of the documents I had prepared (D-156,D-156k, Fiance's passport, 2 photos with fiance's info written on back, one 2011 Tax copy, letter from my employer, and a letter from my bank).
*We were instructed to sit and wait for our... read complete review

Yesterday, my fiance and I finished all the medical and lab requirements. My experience was very pleasant. Thursday we went to the lab after scheduling our medical appointment for Friday, (mandatory to complete before attending the medical appointment) and paid 135,000. The duration of the lab took about 30 minutes and at conclusion they forwarded the results to the doctor where your appointment is scheduled who in our case was Dr. Roa. Importantly, you do not need to schedule an appointment for the lab (beneficiary just needs to bring passport, a photo, cedula, and a 5 x 5 photo).
Furthermore, the appointment with Dr. Roa went very well and in a good area (Usaquen)so you could grab something to eat while waiting for the paperwork! The cost of the medical exam was 150,000 and if your fiance does not have any vaccine paperwork, Dr. Roa only administered 3 vaccines (influenza, tetanus, and another) which cost a total of 86,000! I even got a tetanus shot for only 17,... read complete review
