US Embassy and Consulate Discussion	Consulates Returning Petitions to the United States via 221g	pbgirl, The reason for returning the file is always valid - stating it simply, the visa applicant did not prove their case but rather gave the consular officer reason to doubt their qualifications for the visa. The problem for people who are caught up in this situation is that they are unable to look at the case objectively, from the viewpoint of a 3rd party who is required by law to doubt and who knows from training and experience what issues are in fact wide open to doubt in the local context. Their intense personal involvement blinds them to the broader reality of the issues that they have to deal with. Yodrak ... I think Kiya's concern is about files being sent back to the US, without valid reasons why. .... I agree with Yodrak! Peter Miami	Peter Miami	Not Telling	Colombia	2006-03-01 14:48:00

US Embassy and Consulate Discussion	notarized affidavid of support?	Hi Juan Pablo, Ditto to the last two posters. If you are going to the interview with your fiancée you do not have to have it notarized because you will sign it in front of the Consulate Officer, this is better than notarizing it. But if you do not attend the interview you must have it notarized, if not they would not be sure it is your signature that is what a notarization is. Very good that the co-sponsor I-134 is notarized in case you have to use it. Good luck, Peter Miami Edited by Peter Miami, 31 January 2006 - 10:53 PM.

US Embassy and Consulate Discussion	Calling everyone going thru Islamabad Embassy, version 2.0	ny is pretty expensive. Peter Miami	Peter Miami	Not Telling	Colombia	2006-10-18 09:40:00
US Embassy and Consulate Discussion	Colombia Club	To: All VJ members going through the U.S. Embassy in Bogotá, Colombia. I am posting this thread because I have had to explain this process many times so by putting it here it should help everyone. The best of luck to your fiancée and you. You could look at my timeline and get an idea. Remember no two K-1 fiancée visa petitions are exactly the same. After your petition leaves your service center (CSC/TSC, NVC, VSC) it goes to NVC and it might take about two weeks. From NVC it goes to the U.S. Embassy in Bogotá this usually takes about four or five days. There are short-cuts that you can take once the petition gets to Bogotá. But the first thing you do is to call NVC every couple of days to a week. Make sure you speak with a customer service representative and not the automated system, K-1’s stay less than two weeks and they do not put them in the system. When you call NVC, get your case number and ask them when they will sent the petition out. Once you know that date, call back on that date and make sure that they sent it out. Then you track the package through www.dhl.com. I will give you the instruction later. Once the petition gets to the Embassy you or your fiancée faxes and sends by courier (Servientrega); a copy of your fiancées passport, OF-169, DS-2001 and DS-230 part 1. If the Embassy gets these documents 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. After the NOA2 every thing moves fast so you need to make sure your fiancée and you get all the documents, paperwork, and all other stuff ready and send it to her. Good luck, Peter Miami Greg, Read this thread. Peter Miami	Peter Miami	Not Telling	Colombia	2006-10-26 20:40:00

US Embassy and Consulate Discussion	Colombia Club	Hi Carldecolorado, I can send you packet #3 which has the OF-169 and I can send you the DS-2001. I got the DS-2001 from the El Salvador Embassy’s website my thoughts to you is to send both forms like me and many other VJ members have done. The OF-169 is the old form and the DS-2001 is supposed to be the new form but when my fiancée received her packets it still broad the OF-169 but I had send both already in other to get the interview quicker. That is the part of the short-cut that I did in order to receive the interview in the Embassy much quicker. Good luck, Peter Miami Edited by Peter Miami, 16 August 2006 - 10:08 AM.

US Embassy and Consulate Discussion	Colombia Club	Hi Audrie, Here are some tips to assist you with your fiancé’s visa process. Good luck, Peter Miami Ok once again I see posts from you Peter, but what info??? your first post in this thread? Are the moderators deleting out your links? All I ver see is your text saying "Read this..." or "Go here..." and that is it... no links or more info. Well just as an update our petition was approved by CSC on AUG 3 and is now passing through NVC headed towards Bogota. Now on to the next step of researching the Embassy Interview, paperwork and ofcourse Airline issues. I can already tell it is gonna be near impossible to try and be there in Bogota for the interview then fly back to Barranquilla then back to the states with both of us. I live in Texas and it seems it is near impossible to find airlines that will get me from Texas to Colombia all in one day without spending SERIOUSLY 18-20 hours in and out of airports! Looking forward to learning more from you guys who have been through it or are also going through it with me. Laterz. Hi Pachuco, The threads I am talking about are in different section but the ones you are more interested about are in the “Foreign Embassy and Consulate General Discussion” section. This is one of them “Colombian Club” read the first page! Then read “Tracking Instructions for DHL”, “What is in Packet #3”, and I have many more threads to assist the U.S.C. going through the Colombia Embassy/Consulate office for K-1 Fiancé(e) Visa’s.
