Hello All, I am an April Filer. I received a letter from NVC that says they are waiting for the Consulate to give an interview date. How does it work? Can't we chose when we want to have the interview? I am a little worried because I have travel plans in 2 months and I am afraid they schedule my interview during this time.

I appreciate a response.

Rgds,

Rgds,

Do not worry, you are fine.

You and I have cases completed on Jan 28 and Jan 26 respectively.

Its very difficult to predict exactly when the interview is going to be.

Member Dwheels76 manages a spread sheet, I asked her to add you to it.

If you look at the history for Colombian cases since 2013, the average waiting time between CC (case complete at NVC) and the Interview is 54 days.

Here is where the spread sheet is:

https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1xbLl_8yDgHLeDaLnTrPdYc44J0sjPSFfYCKxlKx6uTY/edit?pref=2&pli=1#gid=0

In about 10 days we should receive the IL (interview letter) that has the interview date and other information. You need to print that letter and take it to the embassy in Bogota.

Let me know ASAP when you receive that letter and then I will give you more information regarding the interview.
