NVC received NOA2 Package after 35 days. Now what's next?

[phoenician 1]

It took 35 days (exactly 5 weeks!)

Finally, after calling NVC 603-334-0700 several times to hear they had not received my case, FINALLY last night a courteous lady told me they received my package from USCIS (California Center) on 09/11. She gave me the BGT number and indicated they were going to forward the package to the consulate (Bogota) in the coming days.

I understand my fiancee and I would have to wait a few more days; nonetheless, is anything we can do on my own to begin preparing for my fiancee's interview? She will go for the interview with her two daughters 6 and 17.

I guess we should compile three identical packages. Thoughts?

Would we have to pay for three $240 processing fees?

Thanks for any information

(in Spanish below , just in case)

Tomo 35 dias (exactamente 5 semanas)

Al fin despues de varias llamadas al NVC y luego de escuchar que ellos no habian recibido nada, FINALMENTE anoche una dama amable me indico que el 11 de setiembre el NVC habia ya recibido mi paquete del USCIS. Me dio el numero de BGT e indico que ellos iban a enviar el paquete al consulado de Bogota en los siguientes dias.

Entiendo que mi prometida y to tendremos que esperar unos dias mas; sin embargo, hay algo que nosotros podriamos hacer para comenzar a prepararnos para la entrevista de ella? Ella ira a la entrevista con sus dos hijas de 6 y 17 anios.

Creo que tendremos que preparar tres paquetes identicos. Consejos?

Tendriamos que pagar $240 tres veces, un pago por cada una de ellas?

Gracias por cualquier informacion.

The first thing you need to know is when the NVC sent your case to the US Embassy in Bogotá, that way you will have an idea of when it is supposed to arrive. Once you know the day it should be there, contact the embassy (you can do it via email) to find out if they have it, if they do, download their visa instructions package from their web site and follow the instructions on how to pay for your visas, make an appointment online, doctor's appointment, lab work, etc..

And yes, you will have to pay $240 for each visa.

Thanks; the same day I got the verbal confirmation and the BGT from NVC (Sep 12). NVC said they would be sending the package to the consulate in a "few days". Thereafter, I sent an email with that information to the IVBogota@state.gov. So far no joy
