Conflicting information as to procedure at Embassy in Bogota

[usaman1999 17]

Our K1 petition filed on August 2021 was approved on 11/7/22; it was received at the NVC on 12/20/22 and sent to the Embassy in Bogota on 1/31/23. The Embassy sent email to me and my attorney on 2/10/23 asking for my fiancé's email address to send her correspondence. My attorney's paralegal told me that she filed the DS-160, finishing around 2/23/23 and told us that the Embassy would be sending an appointment letter soon. This is in conflict with the Packet of instructions 3-4 that the Embassy sent, which states that the beneficiary should log onto the site after the DS-160 is filed and pay the fee, schedule the fingerprint appointment, the interview appointment  and the medical appointment.

 

Your VJ site on Bogota states to schedule the medical appointment 3 days before the interview however the Embassy states that the medical appointment should take place 2 weeks before the visa interview. 

 

Did the paralegal drop the ball by telling us to wait until the Embassy schedules the visa interview appointment or should my beneficiary have gone online right after the DS-160 was filed and schedule the appointment(s)?

Majority of consulates have the beneficiary schedule their own interview. 
 

The below portal for Colombia states that K1s schedule their own interviews

My attorney completed the DS-160 and obtained the confirmation page. Now we can go online and schedule the visa interview with the embassy. However, there is a conflict between the recommended timing between the medical exam and the interview. The Bogota Embassy guide posted here states the medical exam should take place 3 days before the interview but the packet that the embassy sent recommends that the exam be scheduled two weeks before the interview.  Can anybody shed some light on this discrepancy?

 Now the medical exam is scheduled for 7 July, the ASC appointment for 17 July and the consular appointment on the 18th. How long does the doctors office take to prepare the packet? How long does the ASC take for the biometrics?
