TIPS:
1. Bring "sanitary wipes" to clean off the telephones you have to use at the windows you visit.
2. Their website says (as of July, 2009) that they post the appointments on the 15th of the month, but inside package 3 (THE INSTRUCTION PACKAGE FOR IMMIGRANT VISA APPLICANTS) they say, "our online appointment schedule... is updated on on/about the 20th and 30th of each month". The latter is the correct information, and if that falls on a weekend or Colombian/US holiday it will be later.
3. You can fill out the DS-156 form online (https://evisaforms.state.gov/ds156.asp). Do it! The online Visa K Appointment Package (package 4) in English found at the embassy website (http://bogota.usembassy.gov/appt-package.html) links to this, but the Spanish version found at embassy website (http... read complete review

Todo parecia ir bien hasta que el consul me pidio una carta del DAS con los movimientos migratorios de mi prometida ademas del reporte de embarazo de ella mas sonogramas, los dos ultimos yo los tengo, pero obviamente yo no tengo lo del DAS de ella.
Consegui los documentos, volvi a ir y me aprovaron, no me hicieron mas preguntas

My wife tells me that although there were a lot of visa applicants (all types), the process for the immigrant visas was well organized and went fairly quickly for her. They line up in three lines at 7am and at each step there was some waiting. She arrived at 6:45 am for the 7 am appointment (everyone has a 7 am appointment). She was given a folder for all her documents, was finger printed, and then had the interview. The CO was female and very nice. She only asked two questions - how did you meet and where does you husband live. She was approved and finished by 11:30 am. The only original document they did not return was her police certificate. All in all, a very easy process (we did pray a lot about this.)

Se me olvido por completo poner la versión en Español después que puse la de Ingles, entonces aquí la tienen.
Version en Español:
1. Llegamos a la embajada tipo 6:45 de la mañana. Esperamos en la línea numero 3 ya que después de leer VJ, muchos de los miembros dijeron que esa era la línea para visas CR1. Esperamos por 5 minutos en la línea y una representante nos dio un sticker con el numero 40. La representante nos dijo que siguiéramos y que formáramos la línea contra la pared a la mano derecha.
2. A las 8:00 de la mañana, después de estar haciendo la fila por un buen rato llegamos a donde estaba la funcionaria y nos dio una carpeta que tenía instrucciones en cómo organizar todos los documentos. Ya que nosotros habíamos enviado el %95, lo único que pusimos en la carpeta fue el pasaporte, exámenes médicos y las fotos.
3. A las 9:45 llamaron a mi esposa a la ventana número 23 donde le preguntaron unas cuan... read complete review
