The experience at the US Embassy in Bogota was great. The process was smooth with no issues whatsoever. The only complaint I my have is related to the biometrics and the pictures however, that is part of the process and nothing to do with the level or service provided by the US Embassy staff.
As you may know, the process is divided into three parts: Medical Examination, Biometrics and Interview.
a. Medical Examination: The process is very easy to follow, lab work in the morning and medical visit in the afternoon. Unfortunately, they are at different places and Bogota is a congested city and commuting from one place to the other could be really stressful.
b. Biometrics: This is a no brainer, people arrive, make the line and in about 20 min everything is done. However, this is a non-sense step, which I will explain later.
c. Interview: The whole process started at 7:00AM and was completed by 10:00AM. The US Embassy’s officials are very picky with the documents, so please make sure you have what they requested on the instructions and you them in the correct order. If you have everything in order is just a matter of few minutes.
Earlier, I mentioned that the biometrics is a non-sense step. The reason is that the fiancée needs to follow the process as tourist (an appointment for digital picture and fingerprints) and then at the embassy to follow the process (fingerprints and submittals of photos) as Green card’s applicant. But like I mentioned, nothing to do with the excellent level of service and professionalism of the US Embassy staff.
