IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & Proceduresadvice and options for lost or stolen documents??
Hey All,

Not sure what my best plan of action is... Our interview date is set for Aug. 23 and we were completely prepared and ready to go. However on my most recent visit to celebrate our anniversary in Colombia, I had given my wife all of the photocopies/documents related to the interview for safe keeping. Ironically, upon arriving to the Bogota airport after a lovely 2 week vacation, my wife's purse which contained EVERYTHING including her government id, passport, photos, medical history, all of our money, and of course all our visa paperwork was lost and or stolen.

My wife filed reports with the airline, local police and airport security, as well as ordered a replacement government id and passport. we also went back to the airport everyday for a week to see if by some miracle a good samaritan might have turned it in. The Embassy has all of our original documents which is somewhat of a relief, but I carelessly did not make sufficient copies of everything and certain documents that were in my wife's purse were the only copy available. Any suggestions on how to go about getting new photocopies to present to the embassy for out upcoming interview?

Thanks,
Chad R.
