hello guys,
Hope you're all doing great! I'm extremely happy today we received an email asking for:

-Proof of payment for background verification certificate for Colombia.
-Notarized copy of the Escritura de Matrimonio between you and your sponsor from the “Notaria” where it is registered.
-Four (4) photographs of the applicant, passport size 50 mm x 70 mm (2 inches wide x 2 3/4 inches long) and white background .
-Updated SCHEDULE A - Background / Declaration form completed since your 18th birthday.

We didn't receive a request of my expired medical exams, don't know if they will ask for them later on or what, so far with what they are asking is all good.

Thank you all!!! You guys have no glue how happy we got after we received that email, specially because right now we are a bit sad because my husband is going back to Calgary on Tuesday, a bittersweet news.

Humblee did you solve your situation with the Libreta Militar?

Hey guys, hope you're all doing great! I have a question, well you all know that my medical exams are expired and on my GCMS notes on medical results said "in progress",
today I decided to log on Ecas and they added a fourth line saying: "Medical results have been received." , does this mean that they approved them? Any of you have knowledge if they can ask for them again in the future?
I was just wondering that, I'm planning to send all the documents they requested by the end of next week.

Hey guys,

Just an update. Sent in the app late June. Go an email on July 7th saying they had received it. Just waiting on Sponsor Approval now. Says in Process. I imagine this could still take a few more weeks to get SA.

Congrats to everyone else on their progress as well!

We just tried to link our application but it didn't work. We think it probably hasn't been uploaded yet. Did anyone else try? Are your applications there?

I was able to link it, some people are having problems to link it too though, I think it's because there is a lot of people trying to do it.
Did it say anything specific about not being able to link it?

Nope. It didn't say anything in particular. It would just say that you could only have 5 attempts in a 24hr period. We used all five hahaha!

Finally passports in my hands!! 8) :D

Bogota office got passport on July 06, I received calling on July 21 for request to pick the passports up.

I am currently in Canada but I sent passports to Colombia and I just sent an authorization for other person to collect them, signed and scanned with photocopy of my Colombian identity card. It wasn't necessary to notarized or authenticate.

Thanks for your support in this process!! I hope the best for you guys :D

I'm soo happy for you Catherine! It's been a long wait for you and your daughter! Thanks for the information, I think that we all needed to know if we had to go to pick it up personally, glad that those who don't live in Bogota could get that picked up by someone else. Thank you and good luck!!
