Visa Journey.com Visajourney.com is where you want to go to find out all about the visa. I married my colombian wife civilly in March and submitted my paperwork in April. I just now am receiving my receipt of notice from USCIS.

Many different options for chat, Skype is the best, yahoo messenger and windows Live Messenger. These are great, I talk with her all the time on Skype one to one, VOIP.

Hope all goes well

Time Frame for Spousal Visa I am in process and down to the final stage, which is the actual Interview at the US Embassy. There are about 4 steps you have to go through, which include the I-130 Form (for each family member) Package. Following Acceptance of that, there is the Financial Support Data, which includes more forms and the last 3 years of Tax returns. My actual interview date was 10 months after the acceptance of the I-130 package.

FloridaTom Based on your other post about your wife not wanting you to meet her family and children.

I strongly suggest you attend the visa interview at the embassy in Bogota and tell them that the marriage was a mistake.

Per my Previous Post... I would be attending the Visa Interview, but it would be held on San Jose Costa Rica, the residency of my wife. The "official" verdict is out on my wife, but the Abogado I hired should have my answer by then. Calipro, drop me a note at tlove at tmlove.net.

Nope, 10 months was the time period for all 4 steps for a K-3 (Spouse of an American Citizen) Visa to be issued. August 29, 2006 was the day the File number was issued. The original interview date was May 29, 2007 (since modified to July 10, 2007). Once the final interview is complete, the Embassy said they needed up to 3 days to issue the actual Visa.

I had a friend take 2 years to bring Fiancee over from China.
