Petition USCIS

Medical Exam

Interview at US Embassy Bogota Colombia

Visa Issued

Travel + Marriage in USA

This is because we provide the information we want the consular officer to see, 'up front' as part of the petition submitted originally to USCIS. The consular officer will typically review the package prior to the interview. When he reads the extensive and persuasive evidence that we have logically laid out for him, he should be convinced of the 'bone fides' of the relationship before the interview even starts.

This makes asking any remaining questions more a formality than a fact finding, interrogation, and leaves very little for the consular officer to say besides 'Welcome to America'.

It certainly requires extra work and effort, to produce a 100 to 150 page petition, versus a few dozen pages that most un-motivated preparers are willing to submit, but the benefit is PRICELESS as it results in of taking the pressure off of the fiancee to :"PERFORM" at the interview, thus improves chance of SUCCESS.

How To Bring your Colombian Fiancee to the USA?

Your Colombian Fiancee needs permission from the US government to allow her to enter the USA. This is called a K1 Fiancee visa.

First we work together to assemble a thick packet of forms, evidences and civil documents. This is required to demonstrate that you are eligible to apply, and that your true agenda is a genuine life together,not immigration fraud.

My signature philosophy is that a petition should be "front loaded" with high quality evidence of a bone fide relationship. My "front loaded" petitions prepare the way so that your Fiancee will have an Easier interview.

The petition package is mailed to the United States Customs and Immigration Service.

USCIS takes about 4 to 5 months to review and approve.

When finished, USCIS hands the case over to the US State Department's National Visa Center.

Fiance visa applications are held only briefly at NVC, just long enough for NVC just long enough for NVC to assign a Bogota case number and forward your file via diplomatic pouch to Colombia.

Once her petition has arrived in Colombia, your fiancee goes online to pays the visa application fee and schedule her interview.

Two weeks before her interview date she undergoes a medical exam at one of the two approved Bogota medical clinics plus visits to a third clinic for lab tests and x-rays.

Finally she attends the visa interview at the consulate in Bogota, to demonstrate she is of good moral character and the engagement is Bone fide.

A week later a courier delivers her visa, and then she can join you in the USA.

I make the process sound simple. But its not. It is easy to make rookie mistakes that can derail the entire process.
