Have you filled out the Ds160?

What I did while waiting for my case to be ready which was a span of about 3-4 days I filled that out and saved it. I didn’t submit it until my case was ready. 
 

after It said Ready I submitted the application and saved the confirmation page (very important!!! You’ll need to bring that to your interview.) 

 

I then created an account through here 

https://portal.ustraveldocs.com

 

once you complete your profile and submit your confirmation number to the ds160 you can pay your visa fee through there. 
 

if your embassy doesn’t require anything else after that and have availability you can schedule your Interview. 
 

my embassy has a few different steps after the payment 

I have to wait for them to approve and give me access to their calendar and afterwards wait for available appts 

I have to schedule 2 appointments 1 for biometrics and the other is the actual interview. Oh and ofcourse medical. 
 

hope this helps! 
just be patient you case should be ships between tomorrow and Wednesday! 
they’re shipping out cases this week

Is that the only site to pay fees for?

[Wenn_e16 14]

@SP1988

yes in this website you will pay your visa fee and also choose your appointment date 

when signing up make sure you choose your correct embassy and country I made the mistake and had to call them to correct it. 
 

also the account must be created under the beneficiary information

Mine is in transit today too. For sure, you had a case number more than a week ago.  If you want to know exactly when, you can figure out the exact date your case was created by subtracting 500 off the 3 digit number that follows 2023 in your case number. That is the Julian date of your NVC case creation date.  Google "julian date" to translate that number to a month and day. Its probaly around 9/13

So mine just showed in transit today so what should i expect now? Do DS-160 and wait to be contacted or am i supposed to contact embassy? How do you even schedule medical appoijtment for interview?

[Wenn_e16 14]

@SP1988 wait till it says ready once it says ready in ceac case tracker you can create your account via portal ustraveldocs

 

amd there you can make the payment to your visa 

you can also schedule your consular interview via that account 

now for the medical I’m not sure how they operate in Colombia. I know in Dominican Republic you don’t need an appointment you can just show up to an embassy approved medical facility and they’ll help you that same day. 
I added a picture of the account so you can see what the page looks like

So my embassy website takes me to another portal type sign up page to create account and pay visa. Does it matter cause it looks different than yours but similar.

[Wenn_e16 14]

@SP1988 I think you should use the one directed by your embassy
