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: Since July 1, 2003, the Embassy can no longer accept 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 (DHS) office with jurisdiction over the U.S. citizen's place of residence.
