TP 7 in or out of country

Which is the better way to apply for TP7, out of country at nearest CO embassy (in my case, LA) or in country in Bogota? Seems like the less risky bet is out of country. If the app is denied, no big loss, whereas if the app is denied while in country....well, you can just imagine. Or is it six of one, half dozen of the other? Any good and/or bad experiences either way?

Seoul...I received mine at the Colombian Consulate in Atlanta, Ga.
My attorney in Colombia and his assistant took care of all the "details". I'd do it prior to arriving in Colombia, as getting the proper paperwork is easier in your home country, I believe.
Buena Suerte ! Tranquilo.

Skyman, I could do this in LA, but only if it took a day. But don't you have to apply for the Cedula within 30 days? So, you'd still have to be organized. Did you have a stateside attorney or could you have had one to handle the out-of-country process. I'd be very careful about sending my PP anywhere.
