USCIS Service CentersRFE : Good or bad sign?
It's a mixed blessing so to say. You got an RFE which means more time and you need to sign or submit something. On the other hand they are working on your case which in the past means around a 2 week turn-a-round for you 2NOA :yes:

USCIS Service CentersColombia Interview getting close.
To all my friends on the CSC list just wanted to update you that my fiance has her medical appt at the end of the month and the interview for the beginning of April. I will post a full account of the interview as I am flying down to Colombia to attend with her (just to keep her calm :cry: ) These last few days of waiting are calming in a way but I'm a little nervous also. Trying to keep busy. Today I purchased a much larger bed and need to set it up :thumbs: Hope all goes well with all my CSC freinds. I want to say hello to Peter and wish him all the best. :thumbs:

US Embassy and Consulate DiscussionPacket 3
I heard you can submit the papers in Packet 3 before she gets them offically from the embassy and cut off about a month of waiting for them to arrive (Bogota). Can any one tell me if these are the requirements for a K-1 visa

Form OF-169
DS-2001
DS-230 part 1

Do I need DS-156 ?

US Embassy and Consulate DiscussionLost vaccination records
My K-1 application is on the way to the embassy in Bogota and my fiance has looked every where for her vaccination records but cannot find them. She then checked the public records in her city in Manizales but they explained since it's 30 years they no longer have them. Now what? Does she get all new shots? I think she should consult a doctor to see what he may advise. I hate like heck going to Bogota only to get rejected over lost shot proof. any ideas? :help:

Thanks

I also notice a pattern that you always seem to post negative stuff. Now the question is to respond or to ignore you like the jackass I'm sure you are. KMA flycatcher :bonk:

US Embassy and Consulate DiscussionBogota and no packets?
:bonk: I have not received packet 3 and the mail system in Colombia has a reputation of not delivering the mail. I took care of this by submitting packet 3 on my own and not waiting for the embassy to send it. The interviews for March were updated and I missed the cut . So today I called the embassy which has a pin system and I payed to talk to them about my interview date/time. I was told that they have no access to this information and to wait for packet 4. I said if you don't update the site like you did for March until Feb 28th how are people who have march 1 -5 appts. supposed to make the interview if they never got packet 4 or a date for the interview. They were dumb founded and told me you would have to probably reschedule.....it absolutely amazing. Clown logic :jest:

Anyone ever run into a similar problem. How do you get info about your interview if Packet 4 does a no show and no one will give you info. I could see a March 31 update on the website with an April 1 interview date and the only one who knows about it is the person who entered it into the system :bonk:

US Embassy and Consulate DiscussionTIMELINE BETWEEN PACKAGE 3 AND 4
could be a few weks or more if you go the regular route. I filed a K-1 and got them the same day reason being we never waited for the embassy to send Packet 3 we sent Packet 3 papers Down loading them from the internet before ever receiving them. Saved about a month of time. See if the papers r the same or ask other's about K-3 submissions
Manizales MambaMaleColombia2006-03-04 13:54:00
US Embassy and Consulate DiscussionReally Screwed now!
I was planning on attending my fiance's interview in Bogota Colombia and return with her to Miami. Today I just wanted to confirm my paper tickets I got from Cheaptickets.com with Avianca and found that only the first leg of the trip was booked and I had no return flight/ticket. I told them this was a mistake because since I am not a Colombian citzen I would not be allowed to book a one-way ticket and I had the tickets in my hand. No one will amit guilt. So as of now I have no ticket. Avianca has 500.00 of my money, my fiance is in tears, and I have no idea what to do. Pus to add injury to insult all my paperwork for the prrof of support is with me and I don't know if I can get it to her in time. What a mess.... plus my blood pressure is off the charts when I went to check it a few hours ago. Hope your day goes better. :crying:

I take it that means the ticket issue was resolved.


Only after 6 days of calling and explaining to Avianca that they had made a mistake. They finally admited they had computer problems between their offices in Colombia and Miami where the ticket was issued. I got it yesterday.
