Colombia is strange on that area

for K1 Interviews the embassy schedule the interview

USCIS then NVC usually 2 weeks case # your case is BGT , PAy , It will go to embassy .

As soon as you pay all fees you may take a month for actuall interview . The shedulling can take a litter as 2 weeks after you finish payment and all document are done

Good Luck

The process that your are describing below is the process for IR-1/CR-1. It is very different from the K-1 visa process.

To the OP. In ur process, we knew in November that our interview would be in January. It had a lot to do with Christmas holidays; but we had a lot of time to plan ahead. I don't know if things have changed much since then but I would refer you to a thread in the US Embassy and Consulate Discussion called Club Colombia Part III. Click on the link below. My experience has been that they are always helpful and will oftentimes research a topic if there are no answers forthcoming.
