After two long years, my wife had her interview at the US embassy in Bogota and, after much needless worrying on my part, was approved!! She will be here shortly!! For those curious here are some of the questions which were asked of her... (actually her email to me) Hola amor, tengo una alegria tan grande que no me cabe en el corazon. Llegue a la embajada a las 7:00 am, entregue los papeles mas o menos a las 12:00 M. y para las huellas digitales a las 12:15pm. La entrevista fue mas o meno ...
FIRST (Most Important): Each notary in Colombia may have different requirements. BEFORE embarking on document creation, choose your notary, talk with him/her and find out their requirements. It is not unusual for requirements to vary between notaries even in the same city. If one seems too complicated try another. Be polite and respectful and do not try to twist their arm into accomodating you. You won't be happy with the results. SECOND (Apostilles): Here is a list of offices of the S ...

I currently reside in SC (Texas is the processing center) I anticipate a job related move within the next month or two to Vermont (different processing center). Should I begin the K3/K4 process and risk delays trying to change centers mid stream or wait the two months for the move and then start in Vermont?
Anyone with experience changing service centers? Does it cause delays or problems? ...
I hope the link works, here is a pic of my bride and I at our wedding. Who knows what she sees in me. I'm just grateful that she sees something.

Well, I was finally married in Cali!! )Palmira actually. Returned from our honeymoon on San Andres Island, Complete with full sun burn (ouch!) Lots of photos to follow. A side note, don´t go to the Hotel Sol Carribe Campo, the torture of one day was sufficient to drive us to the Hotel Casablanca, complete with ocean view, palm trees and a random collection of folks on the street every night playing reggae. It is was absolutely awesome. Full reports on Johnny cay, Acuario and others when i get ...
Just wanted to thank everyone who has provided help, good conversation and information over the past 9 months. My wedding is is in 10 days (June 16).
It's been a great ride!!!
Thanks All! ...

From my second trip to Colombia (Palmira). Got all my paperwork in order, wedding is ready to go on the 16th of June.
the temperature was actually only 75-80 during the day this week (overcast). Now if I can only convince the weather gods to repeat that act during my WEDDING!! :) ...
Just returned from Cali, where I met with our notary for the wedding. After paying about $150 for getting my divorce papers translated into Spanish in Miami, the notorary looked them over and asked, "oh you have children from your previous marriage?" to which i responded "yes" (not much choice there, since their names are on the divorce papers. She told me "well, if you have children from a previous marriage then is much additional paperwork, let's just pretend you didn't give me these!" She han ...
On this trip to Colombia I am not planning on carrying any luggage (carry on or otherwise). I plan on buying and keeping clothing and personal articles at the house of my fiance. (many trips planned this year!). Is this going to raise red flags with customs? What should i anticipate? Thanks!! ...
Risking getting lots of bad jokes :) Is there a proper way to layout a wedding invitation in colombia? I am a gringo marrying a colombiana in colombia. Her father is deceased as is my mother. If anyone has some samples or something from their wedding I would appreciate the help. karl at lousydomainname.com ...
Our notary just informed us, that for our wedding on June 16th in Palmira, I will need to have a translator present. (I didn't think my spanish was that bad!). In any case, if anyone from the group who is fluent in English/Spanish would like to participate in the wedding I would certainly appreciate the help. The wedding is June 16, 2006 in Palmira (20 min outside of Cali). You get free food and alcohol! No kissing the bride though...sorry guys. ...

I am a US citizen planning on marrying a comlombian woman this June. the wedding will be IN colombia (Cali). I keep getting varying requirements. At the moment I need to know if a Spanish translation of birth certificates, etc. Which is done in the US will be acceptable to a Notary in Colombia or do I need to use the official translator in Bogota?
If anyone has gone through this process recently a list of what was required would be most helpful. I have already read the US Consula ...
I am looking at places for my honeymoon in June. My fiance and I both seem to like capurgana. Does anyone have any recent experience they'd like to share about this place? Safe? Beautiful? Anything at all would be appreciated. Any other suggestions for a honeymoon would also be welcome. ...
My fiance and I were discussing what to do for wedding gifts, operating under the naive assumption that I actually have friends who would WANT to give me a gift. In any case, we decided that since the amount of time after the wedding and until she receives her visa to come to the US might be considerable that donating Airline Miles (so we can visit more often) would make a great gift. (we are both a bit older and do not need the usual assortment of kitchen utensils, dishes, silverware and the li ...
As I am sure most of you know, for a gringo to marry in Colombia requires several documents, translated in Spanish and containing an Apostille. My question is this...in the US I cannot find an "official" (i.e. government certified) translator. Is this actually a requirement or is it only necessary to have the documents translated (by anyone competent), and then to have the Apostille applied to the original english documents? ...
If I ever write a book it will be titled "seven days of perfection". My trip to Colombia was incredible. I am 52 years old and have never had such a wonderful time. the country, my fiance, her family, the food (mmmm Champus), the music everything (except cold showers) was awesome! Serious thoughts of burning my passport and remaining in colombia crossed my mind! jaja.
My fiance lives in Palmira (a little east of Cali). From the moment i stepped off the plane, not a moment passed w ...
