Tommy529 comments on I need Help... Making Arepas for my Colombian wife tonight

Try substituting milk and butter for the water and oil. The previous post is probably right about the type of flour used.

Don't worry Yes, your suegra meant it as a compliment. It's a rather common term in Colombia.

Ya'll ought to open up a Visa Agency for Gringos Gator and Utopia,

Tommy529 comments on Another Visa Question

thanks-two follow up questions Thank you. I also wonder if the fact that she is not Colombian has any relevance. We have all the documentation (registro civil, etc.) which can be stamp, sellado, apostillado or whatever at her local embassy here. Also does the fact that we have been married for several years and have kids with their US citizen born abroad certificate speed things up?

But the general answer seems to be that the US Embassy in Bogota seems to be the best (and quickest route) as opposed to going to the States and trying to change her status from tourist to immigrant. Correct?
