So we were approved last week and received an email this morning instructing us to make an appointment to pick up the visa. After making the appointment the email received says something about doing fingerprints and bringing DS 160 form. Obviously this is incorrect but I’m not sure what’s going on. Has anyone had a similar issue? This is the Bogotá embassy

I guess I should clarify, we are not picking up the visa at the embassy. It’s a different location. The location for pickup is the same location that my fiancé had her fingerprints done last week before her interview

Immigrant visas do not require to book an appointment at CAS for pickup, as soon as you get the email just go there with a copy of your Colombian ID, tell them you are there to pickup an immigrant visa and they will let you in.

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

06-04-2007 = TSC stamps postal return-receipt for I-129f.

06-11-2007 = NOA1 date (unknown to me).

07-20-2007 = Phoned Immigration Officer; got WAC#; where's NOA1?

09-25-2007 = Touch (first-ever).

09-28-2007 = NOA1, 23 days after their 45-day promise to send it (grrrr).

10-20 & 11-14-2007 = Phoned ImmOffs; "still pending."

12-11-2007 = 180 days; file is "between workstations, may be early Jan."; touches 12/11 & 12/12.

12-18-2007 = Call; file is with Division 9 ofcr. (bckgrnd check); e-prompt to shake it; touch.

12-19-2007 = NOA2 by e-mail & web, dated 12-18-07 (187 days; 201 per VJ); in mail 12/24/07.

01-09-2008 = File from USCIS to NVC, 1-4-08; NVC creates file, 1/15/08; to consulate 1/16/08.

01-23-2008 = Consulate gets file; outdated Packet 4 mailed to fiancee 1/27/08; rec'd 3/3/08.

04-29-2008 = Fiancee's 4-min. consular interview, 8:30 a.m.; much evidence brought but not allowed to be presented (consul: "More proof! Second interview! Bring your fiance!").

05-05-2008 = Infuriating $12 call to non-English-speaking consulate appointment-setter.

05-06-2008 = Better $12 call to English-speaker; "joint" interview date 6/30/08 (my selection).

06-30-2008 = Stokes Interrogations w/Ecuadorian (not USC); "wait 2 weeks; we'll mail her."

07-2008 = Daily calls to DOS: "currently processing"; 8/05 = Phoned consulate, got Section Chief; wrote him.

08-07-08 = E-mail from consulate, promising to issue visa "as soon as we get her passport" (on 8/12, per DHL).

08-27-08 = Phoned consulate (they "couldn't find" our file); visa DHL'd 8/28; in hand 9/1; through POE on 10/9 with NO hassles(!).

Yes, that is exactly what we did :), though ours was not a K1 but still a resident visa. We also received the email to book an appointment.

OP has applied for K-1 though, so it's not an immigrant visa - in case that makes a difference to the process.
