Bogota embassy,scheduling the interview

[Sal_R 3]

I am asking this question again,hopefully somebody would help me this time, once the consulate recieves your petition from NVC and send an email to the beneficiary, is the beneficiary the only one who can fill out the DS 260 form? would they give us a choice of choosing the date for interview? how far away would the interview be?

thanks

Unless things have changed at Bogota, you don't need the DS-260 form. They used to require DS-156 and DS-156K (which is now the DS-160), and the DS-230 (which they never asked for). I do know that you can fill out the forms for your fiance, and just write that you were the one to prepare it. You can schedule the interview online once you pay the visa fee, and you choose your interview date.

So I can go ahead and pay the visa fees and schedule the interview even before she gets the email from Embassy with instructions? where do I pay the visa fees?

You need to wait for the embassy in Bogota to receive the case first. Send them an email with your BGT number, your fiancee's name and dob, and ask them if they have received your case. It takes about a week once it leaves the NVC. When you get that email, then you can pay the visa fee online and schedule your interview.
