Consulate Review: Bogota, Colombia Review Topic: General Review Event Description Review Date : August 25, 2010 Embassy Review : My fiancee and I arrived for our interview at 7:10a.m. on Friday August 20th. I was so worried about being 10 minutes late but it didn't matter. The first thing you do is put your documents in order, which we had already done. Then you go to windows 29-32 and wait for someone to make sure you have all your documents. Then they sent us to windows 1-5. We went to the window and the consulate said everything looked good and she didn't have any questions and said we were APPROVED! We are so excited and thank God for answering our prayers!!! 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.

** Not all cases are transfered
