Bogota Interview Letter Instructions

[AWM123 1]

The NVC sent our case to the Bogota embassy and updated it as "Ready" 14 days ago.

 

We have not received the instructions package and called the embassy last week. They said the case was ready and that we can schedule the interview, and so we did, however we are aware that we need the instructions letter to be able to interview.

 

We have not received the letter yet, how long is it generally taking for the bogota embassy to send it? Seems a bit concerning that they say it's ready by phone, yet we get nothing.

I followed the lead of another member here who has a interview in Bogota. I sent an email to ivbogota@state.gov telling them that I received an email stating our case was ready and asking them what my next steps were. Two days later I received the welcome letter from the embassy. They are scheduling interviews for the end of June at this time. Medical appointments are at a premium right now. Good luck

You won't get a package in the mail. You will get a email with your next steps.

Thank you Biliz. When we called, we did not had received the instructions yet, however we were able to schedule both the interview and the medical. 

 

My fiance (beneficiary) asked them via email for a status and they did not provided anything. I suspect because she is not the petitioner. I emailed them today, hopefully I receive them. 

 

I appreciate you giving me that advice!

Thread is moved from the K-1 Case Progress subforum to the Embassy/Consulate forum -- topic involves that phase.

You can check the status on line. If you have the appointment and medical that is the big part. You must just email them at ivbogota@state.gov. If they don't send you a letter by your appointment date you will be denied. An email trail is better than a phone call. You can print out your attempts by email. Not with phone calls. Good luck

Out if curiosity, did they give you any issues sending the email to that address, considering my visa application is K1?

To clarify, I meant about this the address being for immigrant visas.

The K-1 visa is treated as an immigrant visa during some processes of the application. You are a K-1 so some portions will be considered immigrant and other parts non-immigrant. The spousal visa will always be immigrant.

Thank you, I appreciate you assisting me in understanding this part of the process.
