After NVC receives IV and AOS packets, how long til interview?

[mayraandme 0]

If I have read everything correctly there is still one more round of forms for you before getting an actual interview date.. The NVC sends the documents to Bogota who then require a form (DS-2100) to be sent in that basically says "Yes I have all the forms for the interview". They then set up the interview - if they get the form returned in the first two weeks of the month then the interview is scheduled for the following month and if after the two week mark in the month then they set the interview in month after next.

The NVC has everything now.. so say it takes them three weeks to get your paperwork to Bogota and another 10 days for your spouse to send in the DS-2100 form (I think I have read this can be done through email) you would probably have an August interview date.

Standard disclaimer: Just going off what I have read, I'll be watching your timeline to make estimates about my own

I asked the representative about this document DS2100 and if that is the one that must be received before the interview date is set. And she told me that no, the NVC will set the interview date based on the fact that you have your paperwork all in line with the IV and AOS packets they receive there in the NVC. It does not make much sense to me. I would figure you would need to send that DS2100 form to the Embassy first, but I asked her again, and she said no. Anyway, all is cool with that form. We have filled it out and are ready to go, so if they receive our packet at the Embassy tomorrow, then we would fax it tomorrow. NO problem.

I looked up the form, and it is optional whether the consulate uses it or not--each consulate decides for themselves.
