Hi SilkRoad,

If I were you I would track the package through DHL.com and make sure the package is there. If it is there and it should, I would have you fax the OF-169, DS-2001, DS-230 part 1, and a copy of your spouse passport. If the U.S. Embassy get packet #3 before the cut-off date (varies from month to month 16th to the 20th) then you get the interview the following month. If not by the cut-off date you get the interview the month after that. I and many other VJ members have done it and it works. I was able to get my fiancée to the U.S. in two to three months quicker that other people going through the U.S. Embassy in Bogota at the same time.

I sent you packet 3 & 4. Is your spouse from Colombia? The reason I ask is because in your timeline you have Armenia as the Consulate office, the only Consulate / Embassy office is in Bogota. My wife is from Armenia, Colombia so I was wondering if your spouse is from Armenia also.

Read my other threads and you will get some advice, tips, short-cuts and other information. I hope they help you.

Good luck,

Peter Miami

US Embassy and Consulate Discussionpacket 4 colombia

My wife (in Cartagena) and I have NEVER recieved a thing from the Embassy. Our approved I-129F arrived August 21, 2006 --- It wasn't until we took action that things began to roll.

1. After a month of waiting, we called to find out that Packet 3 was sent.
2. Downloaded all forms in Packet 3 and returned via fax/courier
3. After waiting another couple of weeks we called again to find out our Interview date was scheduled for Nov 3rd
4. After waiting 2 more weeks, we still have not recieved Packet 4
5. Downloaded new DS230/DS156/7 carried to Bank Union to pay for visa (recieved bar code sticker to attach)
6. We decided to move the interview date forward because there was not enough time to prepare (ie, waiting for the Packets screwed everything up)
7. Scheduled medical and will arrive early to pick up Packet 4 at the embassy prior to the medical.

Perhaps the mail is hit or miss, but it has been a severe NEGATIVE for us. We would have simply done all of the things I described above and bypassed all the waiting time spent "hoping" the mail would come.

James,

That is why I have written all these post to help people going through the Embassy in Bogota, Colombia. I have seen so many people that have not received that packet’s the it is incredible. Trust me you are not the only one you maybe the only one now but when I started in this website over a year ago it was a common problem.

This is why I got into a debate with “sjoefl01”, his fiancée is from Bogota so he can not appreciate all the problems that many VJ members have had with this. It is very easy to go across town as oppose to many, many hours on bus.

I am glad you have been on the ball lately and everything is starting to work out. If I can help you with anything let me know.

Good luck,

Peter Miami

US Embassy and Consulate Discussionpacket 4 colombia


Ovet,

You sent the packet 3 off on or about October 2, 2006. We sent ours on October 6, a few days later, and have not received the packet 4 either. The mail in Colombia, especially the mail that is being delivered to Cali and surrounding cities takes forever. The embassy had mailed our packet 3 out on September 9. The post office in Tulua already had it there for over two weeks before delivering packet 3 on October 6. Can only hope that packet 4 arrives soon so I can make the travel arrangements. If no word by the end of the month then check the embassy website and see if your NVC number is posted and your scheduled interview date. If it is then you should contact the embassy because you need the letter with the interview date on it to get into the embassy on the date of the interview. Good luck, we may see you down there on the same date.

Hi salgood she fax and send packet 3 on the 28 of september I check the embassy website and our interview was not in October now Im waiting till the end of this week to give the embassy a call..I went by Tulua last month on my way to Pereira Tulua is a beautiful town..hope to see you guys in bogota next month good luck and I will post a message if I recieve packet 4 this week thank you..

I have been to Tulua many times, it is very nice. I always have to go past it on the drive from Cali to Armenia and then back when I am leaving. Johanna has family and friends in the next town over in Buga. Buga is also very nice and they have a very important church.

I am a C.P.A. not an Industrial Engineer or Method Study Analyst. Just read the threads people do not get packet #3 and Packet #4. Like I have stated before there are people in the U.S. already that have not yet received packet# 3 and / or 4. It was very easy for your fiancée at the time because I believe she lived in Bogota, most VJ members do not have that luxury, they live far from Bogota. Your fiancée could just go across town and received what she need. This is not the case with most. Just re-read this thread.

Hi sjoefl01,

I agree on most things you said. The U.S. Embassy in Bogota, Colombia sucks and it takes all day and they do not help you out at all. The only point I am making if you do things correctly and plan a head, you can be with you fiancée quicker by one to three months. This is not for everybody and one should prepare ahead of time because the process goes quicker. I am opening up an avenue which was opened up for me by prior VJ members that went through Bogota, Colombia and no one help me entirely, I had to get it in piece meals. So what I have tried to do is give the information to who ever wants it as complete and detailed as I can.

If you do not agree with it fine but do not say that other VJ members have had problems with it. I have no beef with you and you have helped many VJ members as I am sure you helped me when I was in the process. I want to thank you for helping me and others through this process.

US Embassy and Consulate Discussionpacket 4 colombia

If you are in Bogota things come quickly but the mail system down there sucks. The hangup is not at the consulate. It is in the mail.
If you have a great friend in bogota you can send them notarized permission to go to the consulate and get a copy for you. I say a great friend becuase this is an all afternoon ordeal.
Did you send the packet 3 that you downloaded here? It nevr seemd like a good idea to answer before you are asked. You probably need to start checking the consulate web site to make sure that you don't already have the appointment scheduled.

Sjoefl01,

It is great how you help out people and most of the time give very good advice but it is irresponsible for you to say something creates a problem that it doesn’t. Many and I mean “MANY” have use the forms download from here making sure they are the latest and send them in before the Embassy sent packet #3. A lot of people have not received packet# 3 and/or 4 and have gone through the process and are here in the U.S. Of course getting packet# 4 is more essential than packet# 3. I was one of many VJ member that did this process without any problem. If you say there is a problem with it let us know who had the problem because I have been here a long time and have help out a lot of people and no one has ever stated that there was a problem with sending in the forms before you get packet# 3. So I will await your response.

Thanks,

Peter Miami
