Hi Bill y Bella,

For the Packet 3 contents, check this link -
http://bogota.usemba...tructions.shtml
This will help you get an idea of what documents she needs to get ready prior to the interview.

For Packet 4 contents, check this link
http://usembassy.sta...k1cita_temp.pdf

As for the Certificado de Migratorio please check the info that Nydia posted. To me it looks like 3 days if you get in Bogota.
Hope this helps.


Hola Chester....

Pues si, Lucho me ayudo mucho sacandome de esa duda, y el pasado judicial es el mismo certificado judicial o de policia. No tienes que sacar "certificados de buena vecindad" como lo han hecho muchas chicas aconsejadas por otras personas de otros paises. En el caso de Colombia, solo se expide un solo certificado judicial (libreta verde) si la persona esta limpia de antecedentes. Si ella ha vivido en otros paises por mas de seis meses, pues tambien tendría que presentar el certificado de policia de todas las ciudades donde haya vivido en ese país.

Y que casualidad, hoy acabo de recibir despues de 5 semanas mi certificado migratorio (Carta de entradas y salidas de Colombia). La informacion para sacar este registro la puedes obtener en esta direccion http://www.das.gov.co/ en la parte donde dice SEDES, ahi encuentras el telefono y la direccion donde se debe ir personalmente (tu prometida) a solicitar ese documento. Este enlace te dice los documentos que ella tiene que presentar: http://www.gobiernoe...aspx?traID=1715 . Este certificado si tu prometida lo solicita en una ciudad que no sea Bogotá, pues le demora de 4 a 5 semanas en llegarle. Si se solicita directamente en Bogotá, tu prometida lo podrá obtener en máximo 4 días laborales.

Y te comento, cuando te entregan ese certificado te enfatizan en no abrirlo, porque entonces perdería su validez. Te lo entregan en un sobre sellado, y asi mismo se tiene que presentar al consul. Este documento tiene caducidad a los tres meses de la fecha de expedición.

Espero haberte servido en algo, y pues ahi se va aprendiendo poco a poco para colaborarle a las personas que lo necesitan.

Un abrazo para ambos, :thumbs:



The more photos you can provide the better, especially from different dates/events.

Gracias Nydia y Gracias parkpapa.

It was really helpful to know that it's actually called Certificado de Migratorio. Now we know what to expect and how to go about in getting this document.
Looking at the timeline, Nydia - es posible mi prometida y tu vas en similar tiempo para la entrevista. Ojala todo salga bien. Perdon mi espanol :blush:

Hello to all -

Is the Certificados de Policia the same as the as the "Pasado Judicial"?
Is there a fee in getting the "carta de entradas y salidas"? We will get this from DAS right?

Hola todos!

It's hilarious to read some of the comments here regarding the attempts to speak English by some of our significant others. Mi novia siempre dice "parquear" tambien. Ella no haba Ingles, solamente Espanol. I'm Filipino, but I do speak Spanish and I manage to slip by as a local, but once in a while I definitely sound like a gringo trying to speak Spanish.

We are almost ready to have all the Packet 3 requirements at hand. I've seen the link for the instructions and they are in Spanish so that's great. However, I'm still looking for Spanish DS-156, 156K, DS-230 versions.

Anyway, my NOA2 is just around the corner. I got touched yesterday and today since filing. The stars are lining up for us.

Gracias lucho. So I take it that the forms in the packet are in English but the instructions are in Spanish.

Is that ok, even though she does not have a good handle of the English forms? Of course, I will be helping here out in getting them filled out.

Thanks jedi knight

Add another member to the Colombia club!

It's really comforting seeing so many of us here. The experiences of others has taught me to be patient and be more prepared for the upcoming steps.


Does the Packet 3 sent to the beneficiary contain Spanish versions of the instructions or forms?
Mi novia, no habla Ingles. Yo hablo espanol y ingles. I would like to have these so she can practice on them.

Muchos gracias!

Hello Club Colombia!

It's been a long time since I have been active in the forums. I can see that Diana is still graciously helping everyone in the process.
How's everyone? lucho, buck, diana and Nydia.

Monica and I sent the I-751 Removal of Conditions yesterday. I can't believe it's almost two years of residency for her, plus the arrival of our son Ethan.

And oh, belated Happy 2010!!!!

Removing Conditions on Residency General DiscussionK1 - Conditional but K2 has 10 year visa
My spouse's conditional green card will expire my May 2010. During the AOS process, she received a 2 year conditional green card. However, for our K2 son, he received a 10 year green card.

Reading the instructions for the I-751, I don't think I need to include him in the form.

Has someone come across this scenario? The K2 has a 10 year card where as the K1 has only 2 years?

NOA2 at hand! -dated June 26 Thank goodness.

Exactly 90 days from mailing the I-129F. I was becoming depressed seeing others with very similar timelines get approved. But at the same time happy for them. I was getting concerned for my own petition.

I got two touches, June 19 and 20. Up until now the USCIS website says pending, no change since the last touch. I called twice in the month of June and didn't get anything substantial from them.

The USCIS journey ended and the journey to Bogota embassy begins. Hang in there for those who have not received their NOA2s. I actually stopped checking this forum and the USCIS last week since I just did not want to be reminded of my petition. Have patience my friends the gratification of the approval is worth the wait. :)

Thanks to all. This community helped me get through this arduous wait.

I just got off the phone with NVC tonight, I about dropped the phone when the gentleman asked me verifiers :thumbs: ....so ummm yea :dance: ....sweet........ :dancing: they got the case on Monday and its already left for Moscow on Wed. Looks like interview will be mid to end Sept, ironically that will exactly be one year from when we last saw each other in Hungary.



One year, I can't last that long. Congratulations with the progress with NVC. I had the same experience, the moment the lady asked for verification, bam - I knew something was in the system.

Congrats again! :thumbs: :dance:

I think three weeks has been about average lately. Maybe you guys that are lost in no man's land between CSC and NVC will find out that not only have you made it to NVC this weeek, but you've also left. Good luck to you all!!!


I SUUUUURE hope so!

Happened to my NOA2. Calls to USCIS AFTER NOA2 date didn't even reflect my approved status. I was notified only I received the hardcopy.

Yo quiero mi numero de caso de NVC!!! :yes:

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsInterview time for MARCH filers
Maybe it's just me, but everytime I call NVC I get someone that is not pleasant to talk to. This is EVEN BEFORE I get a chance to speak.
"Agent XXXXX", CIS or NVC number please..."

I've had call center jobs before and IF NVC recorded and reviewed conversations, they'll be out in the cold if you are terse with customers. I guess my frustration is getting the better of me.

21 days after NOA2 and counting.....

Hi, in my situation, my case is been at NVC for almost 5 weeks, and all they asy is that is under administrative process, to be hones this is taking a long time, but all I can is wait and be patient, good luck on your case and keep us update.



Luis, hopefully yours gets through NVC quickly. As we both have petitions for Colombia, I hope mine gets processed soon.
Chester y MonicaMaleColombia2007-07-17 20:48:00
K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsInterview time for MARCH filers

I understand how you feel. I think the NVC wait was more difficult that the NOA2 wait. I KNEW the NOA2 would be long, but I was expecting my case to be immediately sent to NVC after approval. It was 16 days before it sent to NVC. I wasn't expecting that at all. I've seen several on here that weren't sent until after 3 weeks or more though. After NVC though, it all gets better! You know you're over every hurdle except for the big one..the interview. Good luck! I know it's easy for me to say now.....but it will come.



Thanks vismaster. I just got off the phone with the NVC folks and no case YET, with the typical response of 2-4 weeks.

Andale, andale! Apurate NVC!

Si Diana tienes toda la razon hoy ya me ignagure con tres quemadas en las manos, casi salgo corriendo para mi casa; pero lo pense y me dije: mijita aguantar como las machas y me quede a terminar el turno...
Yo estoy contenta ademas es mi primer esperiencia laboral en toda mi vida, pues desde que termine el colegio he tenido que trabajar para mantener mi nino, pero siempre lo he hecho de una manera independiente comercializando con lo que fuera; jamas he tenido jefe ni he cumplido horarios....
pero como dicen ustedes el trabajo no es desonrra y por algo se empieza...yo seguire al pie del canon lo que voy hacer es comprarme una crema para las quemaduras y sicatrices.....
