I checked that Trackitt link I gave you in the other post, and searched Bogota spousal applications. There are four, but only one has been asked for a passport. But it's been something like two months since the request with no further contact - although there was discussion in the applicant's (trackitt) notes about postal delays. It does look like it's possible that they request the passport before they've actually made a decision to approve the ap - but still not having a consensus for Bogota processing, it's hard to say for sure. I hope some people respond here.
