We arrived early to the embassy at like 6:30 so there were maybe 10 people ahead of us. It took almost 30-45 minutes to enter. My fiancee had everything together. We went through everything the night before. I realized we needed the 156K , I almost forgot to give it to her. Bring your copy of your part to the embassy because the wanted a copy of my divorcee decree. I brought everything with me, so we were fine. Our interview was around 1:30 p.m. They asked her questions like: Where I work, my actual address, about my kids, . They asked me about her family, how many brothers and sisters she has, why did I ask her to marry me, is she going to learn english. I began to speak spanish at that point to show my fluency. The woman spoke english fluently. She was verifying answers were matching with what we said about each other. My fiancee went first then me and then her again. She had a big smile and tears and told me we are approved. That the officer believed our relationship is real.

The process was long and mostly involved waiting. If there was one piece of advice i would give any one having to try and bring some one over on a K-1 Visa its to go to the interview. We saw almost no one who was there alone approved. So if you can go to the interview with your fiancee. Aside from the wait the rest was straight forward. Just a few questions about how we met and what our plans were and that was it. I am just happy that i took the time to go down there with her or else i would probably not be as happy as i am.

Interview Date
June 9, 2010
Result: APPROVED
We started the day by calling a taxi at 6:00am. Our apartment (www.welovebogota.com) was close however we did not have much luck with calling for taxis as it was hit or miss with them. The taxi arrived at 6:10am and got to the US Embassy at about 6:20am. We waited in line 3 which is right outside of the Embassy walls and the ladies in the hot pink vests verified our appointments and let us in the Embassy. We did not get the appointment letter so they had to call and verify our appointment before letting us in.
We then processed through security which is very similar to a security checkpoint at an airport. I’d also like to say that they don’t allow cell phones with cameras, cameras, mp3 players and a lot of other electronic devices in the embassy and you will need to check them in if they find them.
We then went to line 40 or immigrant visas and were given a folder to organize our documents.... read complete review

The consulate people were basically fine. The gal who first organizes your paperwork could probably use an attitude adjustment, but, she was just a minor player in the day's activities.
US consular officer was a very cool guy. All his questions for both of us were completely straight forward.
Bring a small umbrella to the embassy, as you can get stuck standing outside waiting in line to get into the embassy in the morning. If its raining, and you didn't have an umbrella, it would be kind of a drag.
We had our paperwork well organized and had no problems.

Approved
Got to the Embassy about 5:45am about 20 in line before us.
6:30 am they have you line up by visa type we were Line 3 for K1 visa
7:00 am Domessa agent puts a number on your passport and starts a delivery invoice for each passport.
7:00 am given a folder to put in the list of documents (3) 1 for fiancée and one for each child
The Form DS-156 I was mad that the bank made my fiancée re-fill out was the wrong revision date but accepted by the embassy.
Bogotá uses the red serial number of the passport not the one that is on the passport in the passport number area. (I understand you use the passport number that we would expect to use for travel documents)
8:00 am called to window 32 and documents were reviewed and asked for signatures on a few forms that were not to be signed until this point. Strange part of this step was the woman would lower the shade and say we will process one child at a time and one minute later ra... read complete review
