Remember that each charge is PER PERSON (so if the lady has children add 1 round for each child) but here they are

On the first visit to submit the application it was $110, on the 2nd visit it was $220 (broken down for two things at like $160 and 60 I believe).  Total cost to the Embassy was $330 per person. You can pay in US Dollars or Pesos but you get a terrible exchange rate if you pay in pesos. They prefer US Dollars and they have to be smaller than $100 and new or pretty new condition bills.

Remember their are also fees for the medical examination, the xrays, the blood tests, and any vacinations.

If I remember correctly they were

90,000 pesos for the xrays and blood tests
180,000 pesos for the medical exam itself

Over the course of 3 doses of vacinations the total was like 250,000 pesos per person. I guess that could vary widely depending on where you get them and what you have had before.

Lets see what else I think it was like 25,000 pesos for the police certificate.

8,000 pesos for the passport photos

etc.

Thanks.  How long from the day you got married in Cali ( I'm assuming to you had the marriage certification paper work.  Example:  I am getting married on a Saturday how fast can I get it certified in Cali and get to Bogata...Jim!

I got married on a Thursday but didn't go to the Embassy for a couple of weeks. I didn't have to have it certified I just had the registerar give me three originals for a small extra fee.
