I have sent one international bank wire transfer last september for 5,000 dolars from the US to Colombia without any problem. It cost me only $30 from my bank in the US. No charge to recieve the money in Colombia. I have talked to the bank and they said there should be no additional charge. So this time it went smoothly as well, as they took off the fees. sorry for the first post. ...

Would like to hear if you have any war stories on this subject that you m ...
Hello,
I have a question concerning getting a tourist visa for a colombian national into the USA. When i was working in London, UK i helped my colombian girlfriend get a tourist visa to go to the UK. We showed all the documents necessary to establish our relationship and the visa was granted.

She is divorced, has no incom ...
