Arrived at Embassy at 5:40am about 3 people in line. Your'e lined up on the street now away from the area with the numbered signs. At 6am a Colombian Police Officer lets you pass towards the signs. Went to Line 3, was again 3rd in line. About 6:15 DOMESA handed out forms to fill out, 10 minutes later we were allowed in. Headed to window 40 for instructions on how to place from in file. File handed back to embassy employee within 5 minutes. There were about 70 people there in the family area by the restrooms. maybe 12 were K-1's. 20 minutes later about 7:30 fiancee called to window 31. 1- minutes of general questioning.

Yasira and I arrived at the Embassy at around 6.45 for her 7.00 interview, which I thought was a bit late and there was a lonnng line but once they determined we were there for the K1, we went to line 3 and were 2nd in line. After entering, we went to a desk where the young lady gae instructions on assembling the documents....went to sit down and put all in order and returned them to that desk. The 45 minute or so wait gave us time to grab something to eat at the small coffee shop. Yasira´s name was called and we went to the window where the lady there basically just made sure all the papers were in order, only asking Yasira where we met. We sat back down for maybe 10 minutes, and of course the next time her name was called, Yasira had gone to the bathroom and I didn´t fully hear the window number but thought it was ¨dos¨ and i guessed correctly. There they did her fingerprints which I took as a good sign but didn´t get overly confident. Within maybe 30 minutes, they called ... read complete review

Do not forget anything you need or they will not allow you to go past the first or second call.
3rd get in Line 3 no matter what this is for K1 or K3
After passing though security you will be sent to the Window 1.
at window 1 a person you will get a folder and order of instructions.
2nd call you will go to a window for review of documents.
3rd call you will be finger printed.

Overall was a good experience, line # 3, Get documents organized in brown folder, go to a first window for some biographical questions, wait, fingerprints and then the final interview, only my fiancee was interviewed I was just standing next to her, question #1 do you speak English, tell me your love story, age difference even though we are 9 months apart he asked us that; wedding plans;and then we all had a laugh with the pictures, go to Domesa and done. Out by 10:20 am. It really makes it easier when both petitioner and beneficiary are present. Dress to impress.

I had an interesting day dealing with Banco Helm in Barranquilla, Colombia, I want to share with all of you so possibly you can avvoid the same experience. If you already know this information then you were better prepared than I was:
1.The Bogota Appointment Package 4 seems to read that for a Finacee Visa (K1) you would need to prepare a 156K. That may be true and we may yet use that form. Not, however, for Banco Helm! What you have to submit to Banco Helm is the 156 for your finacee and each child. Make sure to read the form carefully.
2.On the Colombian passport coverpage there is a red number at the bottom of the page. According to Banco Helm his is the passport number you are supposed to use on the 156 and not the one contained within the passport itself. Very confusing. Apparently the \"passport number\" in the body of the passport (on the page with your ffinacees photo) is the Colombia identification number, not the passport num... read complete review
