My fiancée arrived in Bogota on Sunday evening, five days preceding the interview. This allowed her and her daughters ample time to complete the lab work and have medical exam. On Thursday my fiancée and her daughters completed the biometric processing. Thankfully, she has family in Bogota who were gracious enough to welcome her and the girls into their home for the week. The day of the interview my fiancée and her daughters arrived at the embassy at 8:30'am. K-1and CR-1 applicants were separated from the rest of the folks seeking other visas. My fiancée was instructed to file the documents she had in a specific order then report to a Colombian national who ensured everything was in order. She was then given a number an instructed to wait until her number was called. She waited about 45 minutes then was called to an American consulate officer. The officer asked just a few questions regarding the times we have been together and if all the information provided to the embassy officials was accurate. The officer also asked the girls if what was presented was true. That was it! Then the officer advised my fiancée that the visas were approved and they should receive them in 5-10 days. My fiancée was amazed at how quick the process took. She was prepared with a lot of evidence and information of our relationship. She had numerous photos, emails, Skype logs, whattsapp logs and of course her engagement ring. None of this was needed! I will say we were very thorough with our preparation and evidence. I think if this is made a priority, it makes the consulates decision much easier. All in all a great expierence!
