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

It was a chilly morning here in Bogotá as we woke up early to arrive at the embassy to wait in line. We arrived at 6:20am even though our interview wasn't until 9:00am. We waited in line 4 until 8:30am dancing a little bit to stay warm. By 9am we were directed to line 3 (which is the line for immigrants); this was outside of the embassy. Afterwards, it was required of us to take off our belts and jackets and leave our cell phones at the enterance. We arrived at an office with our papers (including my medical papers). As expected, the official who was very amiable told us to wait until my name was called. There were only two officials working in the offices for immigrants and therefore we had to wait a bit until around 10:30am before my name was called. Time flew by because my husband and I were laughing to the point where our stomachs hurt from laughter and luckily there was a little café that sold coffee, buñuelos, empanadas and other pastries which hit the spot because we didn't e... read complete review

She got to the embassy at 6:30 am for her 7:30 am appointment. Before her appointment time, she turned in her paperwork. She was the first and only person in line 3 for a while. At 8:15 am, she had her actual interview which took less than 5 minutes and only consisted of 6 questions: my name, my occupation, where we met, how many times I've visited her, last time I went to Colombia, and method of communication. Immediately after, she got the good news -- welcome to the US!!! She was out by 8:20 am. The consulate commented that they were very appreciative that she organized all of her paperwork ahead of time. They didn't even ask her for proof of relationship, nor did they question why I didn't go.

Just left th embassy, everything went smooth. Arrived at 6:30 and waited outside for less than two minutes then just inside for another 15 then were given list of order to put papers in and sent to a window.
Precisely at 7:05 the window opened and I was asked to have a seat and wait while they went through the papers with Erika, she then came and waited with me and 3 others that were waiting for K-1 also.
After about an hour they called the first one to a different window, then another then us. They asked a few simple questions, and said congratulations and gave us info about where the visa would be sent.
My Fiance kept saying how nice everyone was.
