As soon as the embassy receives your paper work they will email your case number to the email they have on file. At that point you or she can log on to the website and create an account pay the MRV fee and schedule the appointment. On the website this morning it said the soonest was 45 days out but I talked to them this morning and they have available as soon as Aug 20th.

After the interview it takes about 4-5 days to get the visa. But that is for picking it up in Bogota. If she lives in another city add a couple more days to that.

Well I have not done it for I-130 but from the website it looks like most of the immigrant visa types are set your own.

I sent them an email letting them know that the system was not accepting my MRV number and they sent me an answer with a number to call
