US Embassy and Consulate Discussion	Interview Date	I would love to go to the interview to see the final stage of this part of the process. Plus I am an ex-Marine I could have spoken with a few fellow Marines. I have never been to Bogotá I am dying to go and visit there also. I have been too; Cali, Palmira, Buga, Calima, Buenaventura, Tulua, Armenia, La Tebaida, Pereira, Medellín, Santa Marta, Cartagena and all the surrounding towns around these cities or towns. And a big plus would have been to accompany my fiancée is this part of the process for support and togetherness but it is not meant to be because of work.

US Embassy and Consulate Discussion	Interview Date	Peter, Congratulations on the interview. This will all soon be a memory and you will be surprised how quickly you forget the time alone. AOS is a hassle but nothing like what you are almost finished with. I hope that you are able to go to the interview with Johanna. Bogota is a wonderful place full of really great things to see and do. If possible, you should have as much time there as possible. Hi Joe, Thanks for the information but because of work it does not seems like I can go. Peter Miami	Peter Miami	Not Telling	Colombia	2006-02-16 20:49:00

US Embassy and Consulate Discussion	Interview date confirmed	Forgive me but what is the number you called for this information? Did you ask for any department in particular? Thanks!!! The visa office has access to interview dates and time scheduled for all visas. And it's free to talk to them. Try calling them at 202-663-1225. Good luck, Peter Miami	Peter Miami	Not Telling	Colombia	2006-03-03 09:42:00
US Embassy and Consulate Discussion	Bogota and no packets?	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 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 The visa office has access to interview dates and time scheduled for all visas. And it's free to talk to them. Try calling them at 202-663-1225. Craig, Did you call the visa office? What did they say? Peter Miami	Peter Miami	Not Telling	Colombia	2006-03-01 23:57:00
US Embassy and Consulate Discussion	Bogota and no packets?	Hi Craig, 01-13-06 - K-1 Petition Arrived at US Embassy in Bogotá, Colombia. 01-19-06 - Johanna Faxed & Sent by Courier (Passport Copy, OF-169, DS-2001 & DS-230 part 1). 01-23-06 - Johanna received packet 3. 01-30-06 - Johanna received packet 4. It took 10 day from the time the package got to the U.S. Embassy in Bogotá, Colombia until Johanna received it and it took 11 day from when they got the required documents until Johanna received it. I bet she will probably receive it by the beginning of next week. Good luck, Peter Miami	Peter Miami	Not Telling	Colombia	2006-03-01 20:18:00
