Consulate Review: Bogota, Colombia Review Topic: K1 Visa Event Description Review Date : November 21, 2023 Embassy Review : Our experience at the Bogota embassy was very good. My fiance came to Bogota to attend the interview with me. Our interview was scheduled for 7am but we got there 6:15am. They don't let anyone in until 6:45am. We had to stay outside with other people until they called k1 visa applicants to go inside. Because we got there earlier, we got to be one of the first ones to get in. But, since they let people in accordign to the interview time, you'd get in if you cant make it early like we did. Once we got in, there was a first checkin point with some ladies going through the documents and making sure you were in the list for that day. Then we went through an airport security style check point. They went through my purse and did body scan. It is suggested that you don't take any unnecessary items (make up, laptops, etc.) to make the process faster. We only took our folder with our documents and my purse with a pen, my glasses and our passports. Once inside the embassy, a guy reviewed our documents and made sure we had everything and in the correct order. Then we had to go to a different line to give our papers to one of the officers. He asked us if this was the first marriage for both of us, we said yes. He then took our papers (Birth certificate, police records, i-134, 1040s, w2s, and medical exams) and told us to wait to get called for our interview. We waited for 40-45mins and then got called for our interview. The officer that conducted the interview was very friendly and made it more like a conversation than an actual interview. My fiance stood next to me the whole time. He asked if I lived in the united states before and on what visa, where did we meet, what did my fiance do for work, where did he work, he asked if we had been in jail before and if this was the first marriage for both of us. Then he told us everything was in order and that our visa was approved. We we're out of the embassy at 8:45 am. Our overall experience was very good. Rating : Very Good

*Notice about estimates: The estimates are based off averages of other members recent experiences
(documented in their timelines) for the same benefit/petition/application at the same filing location.
Individual results may vary as every case is not always 'average'. Past performance does not necessarily
predict future results. The 'as early as date' may change over time based on current reported processing
times from members. There have historically been cases where a benefit/petition/application processing
briefly slows down or stops and this can not be predicted. Use these dates as reference only and do not
rely on them for planning. As always you should check the USCIS processing times to see if your application
is past due.
