Arranging The Interview Date in Bogota

[Kurt y Dora 1]

I tried to direct this to Club Colombia, but don't know if it was restricted to that group.

We received our NOA2 on Sept 28 and we are preparing the next round of paperwork. Assuming no glitches, Dora's interview date could be in 1-3 months (our NOA2 was already pretty fast @ 66 days). I already have trips planned for Nov 10-17 and Dec. 31-Jan.7. I definitely want to go to Bogota with Dora for her interview and medical exams, etc., even if it's not really necessary. Does anyone know if the Embassy assigns you an exact date (and trying to change it could really mess you up) or are you given some leeway once approved for an interview? It would be nice to go during one of my already planned visits if it means shifting the interview a week or two earlier or later.

Thanks for any information on the Embassy experience in Bogota.

As soon as the embassy receives packet 3 from your fiancée they will assign her an interview date. If they receive the documents before the 15th-16th of the month, they will assign her an interview for the following month. If they receive them after those dates, they will assign her an interview for the month after that.

Once you know the date of the interview, you can try contacting them either by phone or e-mail to see if they can be flexible enough with the date you have in mind. Keep in mind that they have quite a bit of interviews scheduled for each month so they may not be able to accommodate your request.
