On November 8, 2011, my fiance along with her 14 year old son and 12 year old daughter all went together to the USA Embassy in Bogota for the long awaited Fiance Visa Interview. I was in the USA working that day and my 3 kids were in school in the USA that day. My fiance had scheduled the interview date online after she was confident that she had everything needed for the interview. Apparently, they have a new system for scheduling interview dates in Bogota and they are now scheduled online by the interviewee. She never received anything in the mail. I had provided her with information that I received in the mail earlier.
I had emailed her many of these VisaJourney.com reviews for K1 interviews in Bogota so she would be better prepared too.
All 3 visas (1 K1 and 2 K2 visas) were approved that same day (November 8, 2011)! Later, that same day, I purchased online 3 one way airplane tickets from Bogota to the USA.
The following week, she ... read complete review

I did not attend the interview with my husband but from what he told me this is how it went:
His interview was scheduled for November 16th at 9:00.
My husband arrived shortly before six and he went to line #3 where there was only one other person in front of him. Once he went through security, he was the first one in the line where a CO asks for all of your paperwork in order. He said the Colombian lady that helped him was very rude. While she looked at the paperwork she said "So, you guys aren't married" and she kept repeating this in a statement manner, which my husband replied that we are as she had our marriage certificate in her hand and also gave her his birth certificate because on the back it has a statement notarized saying that we are married. My husband noticed that she was asking the opposite questions to fiancees ("you guys are married, but you are, I see that you are married"). She also looked at the "Certificado Judicial" and said that it wasn't goo... read complete review

My fiancee says the questioning was simple and easy like other people are reporting. They asked my name, my address, how long we have known each other, and have I ever visited Colombia. My fiancee was unfairly refused entry at the border and we need the i-212. She said they asked her a couple of questions about that issue as well.
The only hold up with her interview is because of the refusal, since she had "troubles" they made her wait until they cleared other people out before giving her the interview. She was there 5 hours, and when she left she was called back. That was a nervous moment, but they wanted to give her a document they forgot to return. Regardless, she said the man that interviewed her was very nice and it helped her relax. Other than the wait she considered the experience good. Now we just need the I-212.

My fiancee's interview was scheduled for 7am this morning the 10th of November.
We arrived at the embassy just before 7, and walked up to the line with the BIG GREEN #3. We were immediately given a GREEN sticker and told to move to security.
Security was much like at an airport, but shoes do not need to be removed, and cell phones are kept until you leave.
After security you move to a line where you wait until you are told to wait in another line for a GREEN window. I think we were very fortunate that not only is the immigrant visa line very short, there were very few people there today for an immigrant visa.
Her turn at this first GREEN window didn't go as well as we had hoped. I was not allowed to be with her while she organized the papers to hand over. She did know exactly what everything was, but we were over organized and she was given a hard time for having everything separated and put into envelopes. (Here I would recommend having everyth... read complete review

We arrived at the embassy at 8:30am for our 9:00am November 9th interview. The lines were very long - hundreds of people. We walked past all the people to line #3 (the line for immigration) and there was a total of zero people in the line. Perfect! The woman controlling the line put green stickers on our shirts and we were let right in. Our electronics were confiscated at the security checkpoint.
Once we were in there was of course more lines. One with about 150 people and the one to the left which had zero people. We went to the line with zero people which was for immigration visas and we were then told to stand in front of one of the windows by the person controlling the lines.
There were two people doing the "pre-interviews" at these windows. I had read in the past that they give you a folder and a list of documents and to organize while you are line but they appear to have changed the procedure for the CR/IR visas. The person in the window has your doc... read complete review
