Case Number!!

[Fede&Kendra 5]

Hey all!

We just received our case number today! Yay! But it has not left NVC, we are ready to make an interview appointment, but he needs to fill out the DS-156 form first then we can make an appt. so here is my question, do we need to wait for the embassy to receive our case to fill out those papers?...or can he just fill it now and make his appt.? Any one from Colombia know how exactly it works? thanks for any help!

You can go full speed ahead and fill out the forms plus schedule the interview which is what I did. Depends on how fast you want to go. By the time the interview rolls around the case will be there. I think it is also transmitted electronically. I you are attending the interview then also take a copy of you case with you so if push comes to shove you can give it to them if it has not shown up. Once you pay the fee online you will be allowed to schedule an interview. So its 1) Pay Fee 2) Schedule Interview and 3)Complete forms DS156, DS 156K. There is a packet that you download from the site also that tells all of the items need at the time of the interview. Make sure you download it and read to assure you have everything. Also schedule and appointment for a physical at the office of one of the Doctors listed in the packet. This needs to be done prior to the interview as well as go to the clinic listed for tests. Your Fiance must go to the clinic prior to going to the Doctor. So its 1) Clinic 2) Doctor and 3)Interview. Also get the vaccinations at the Doctors office to avoid any problems of having to get them twice. Its a money thing for the Doctor. My Fiancee only had to get two.

Hi Fellows,

I am also waiting for my USC case number (BOG...). Not sure who will assign this number (NVC?)

Since June, 2011 I have gone and visited my fiance three times, with the fourth happening this week (going to Bogota on Feb.17). I will try to get the interview setup for this March. My question is: Must I be present there for the interview? Is it just a nice gesture, or a requirement?

I am sure this question has been asked 1000 times!! Pls reply to: wilrouf@gmail.com

Many thanks,

Wil
