from U.S Embassy


Hi, Isaac; that's what I find on US embassy's web
http://bogota.usembassy.gov/wwwsfaqe.shtml

Q: I am a U.S. citizen living in New York and planning to marry a Colombian. ¿How long does it take to get the visa if we marry in Colombia?

A: While in the past, we were able to accept petitions filed by U.S. citizens not resident in Colombia, due to the overwhelming volume of such petition filings, since July 1, 2003, the Embassy no longer accepts petitions for family members (spouses and children under 21 years old) from U.S. citizens who are not resident in Colombia.

U.S. citizens resident in the U.S. must file petitions for a family member (including spouses, children step-children, parents and siblings) with the Department of Homeland Security's Bureau of Citizenship and Immigration Services office with jurisdiction over the U.S. citizen's place of residence.

U.S. citizens who are resident in Colombia may petition for their spouse, unmarried children (under 21 years old) and stepchildren at the Embassy. A U.S. citizen can petition for stepchildren only if the marriage to the Colombian national took place before the child's 18th birthday and only if the child is under 21 years of age at the time of the petition.

The U.S. citizen petitioner may come to the Embassy any Monday through Thursday at 1:00PM to initiate an Immigrant Visa petition, and should bring the following documents:


Original of the civil registry of marriage (church wedding documents are not accepted).

Documents proving the legal termination of all previous marriages (divorce, death or annulment certificates) of both parties.

Original birth certificates of minor children.

US$130.00 per applicant, payable in cash in dollars or pesos (credit cards and checks are not accepted).

The passport of the U.S. citizen and petitioned Colombian family members.

If her son is going to accompany her, then he will be applying for a K-2 visa and yes, you have to fork over $100 for the application. You will also need the medical exam as well along with his birth certificate etc.

Disclaimer: any comment I make is inane and is not to be taken seriously, and is so patently ridiculous that no one should take it seriously, even as an insult.

Colombia legal documents now available On Line The subject of obtaining various Colombia legal documents is frequently mentioned on PBH postings.

A new legal service offered by English speaking Colombians can be found at:

www.fastcolombia.com

They claim to be FAST, and IN-EXPENSIVE!

Hope this helps.
