| Embassy Review : |
A very long day...Classic example of first one there, last one interviewed. My fiancee and I arrived at 6:30 am, typical cool, damp weather in Bogota. We assembled in Line #3, for all the K Visas, we already knew this because of the numerous reviews here on VJ. About 7 am, they started letting us inside, checked for cameras, cell phones, etc. We were issued small, green stickers, my fiancee with 40, me with an "A"...for us to be in Area 40...Once there we waited in line and waited for instructions. We were given our tan folder with instructions on assembly, then we assembled and waited for my fiancee name to be called, about 15 minutes later we were called to Window 30. The lady checked the paperwork and gave me back my paystubs, which were not needed, my fiancee had to sign the 156K. Then we were directed to windows 2 or 3 for the fingerprints...About 10:30 they started the interviewing process, it seemed that the most difficult cases were first, there were about 10 couples there and almost all of us were interviewed after 12 noon. Most of the earlier interviews were denied, except fo a few girls that were back for 2nd day interviews. We sat and waited for it seemed like forever, We were one of the last 2 couples called...Our nerves were getting the best of us, Just the anxiety of it all... Then she called us to Window 6..A nice lady spoke in Spanish with my fiancee, only for 15 seconds, then conducted the entire 1 minute interview with me. I had been In Colombia for 4 months out of the last 12 months, and with that information the consular already had It was basically a slam dunk..She only asked me how I met her, and to thank me for being patient today with the long wait...She never wanted any pics or any proof, no nothing...I asked her where she was from, and extended the interview for about 1 minute..She said congrats and good luck and go pay Domesa...If I have any advice for anyone...It would be spend as much time in Colombia as you can, Have very accurate paperwork, and co sponsor the I 134, if u are even close with support especially in these economic times. And don't worry so much, it will take care of itself...Goto the interview with you Fiance(e)..  |

*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.
