My Fiance and finally finished our Interview at the Embassy on Wednesday Sept 16th, we are so happy and excited.

Just a few things to help people in the future.
1) If the Petitioner can make it, I really suggest you go for moral support of your fiance or wife, and because it will help establish relationship and should help the interviewer in the approval. I have read other people say it before just GO and I really agree, even though they say you don't need to be there, it's better than being denied.
2) Make sure all papers are in order, it's fairly straight foward and I don't really see it necessary to have a laywer unless you have a more complex case, luckily in my case my fiance is my lawyer and our case was straight foward .
3) Wear warm clothes, it's Bogota the weather is crazy and one second maybe clear and than raining, especially if your coming from another city besides Bogota and you a... read complete review

OMG !!! Visa APPROVED !!! :dance:
Wow my knees are still shaking. We are so excited! Everything went nice and organized. My hubby went with me, but they didn't asked him anything.

-We got there about 6:30am (we didn't wanted to miss the "breakfast included" from the hotel)
-Line # 2, you get a green sticker for Immigrant visa applicants.
-Embassy opens gate at 7 am
-We went straight to 40 window, they give u a green folder where u organize your documents:
-
-Marriage, Birth, Baptismal,and Police Certificate, 2 pictures 5"x5", DS230, Financial evidence (AOS, 3 most recent years tax returns), your passport.
-About 8:45 they called me to a window to check my docs. (Pay attention to 4 , 29 to 32 windows)
-9:45 fingerprints
-11:00 Interview, a very sweet and nice CO smiling, just 3 questions and she said the magic words "your visa has been approved" OMG !
-I just turned and kissed ... read complete review

1- Be early since there is alot of people on line by 6am
2- Dress accordingly but not formal (not needed)
3- Be ready for a long day
4- Be mentaly prepared to see sadness from people frustrated for not getting approved.
5. Be sure to get all supporting documents to proof relationship since meny people were delined for not being prepared.
6. Most important of all "pictures" take many pictures which they will ask for them, it is the first thing they look for but everything else still important.
7. Make sure to have enough money to buy something to eat inside the embassy since it will be a long wait.
8. over all it was a good experience, they are very organized and make sure to take as much evidence with you than needed, it's better safe than sorry but belive me they will ask for it.

Otra vez, esta vez en castellano.

CONSEJOS:
1. Debe traer unas toallitas húmedas para limpiar los teléfonos que se necesita utilizan para hablar con los empleados en las ventanas.
2. En el sitio Web (julio, 2009) dicen que ponen la lista de cita en el 15 del mes anterior, pero de verdad no lo hacen hasta el 20 y más tarde si el 20 es día festivo colombiano o americano o un fin de semana. Dentro del paquete 3 dice la lista "se actualiza alrededor del día 20 y 30 de cada mes".
3. Se puede llenar el formulario DS-156 por Internet (https://evisaforms.state.gov/ds156.asp). ¡Hágalo! El paquete 4 (Paquete de Instrucciones para visa K) en inglés que se encuentra en sitio de Web de la embajada (http://bogota.usembassy.gov/appt-package.html) tiene enlace, pero la versión española que se encuentran en
