Hello again everyone..

I would like to know if there is any reason I can't move ahead with sending my documents for the Embassy appointment in Colombia..

I received a notification of my Petition Apporval on 27 Jul, however, no letter.. I spoke to the NVC on 2 Aug and found my Package was received on 28 Jul, and forwaded to the Embassy on 29 Jul.. The repreentative at the NVC provided me with my new Case number...

The Embassy wesbsite shows that the following on thier Instruction Package for Visa K (PDF)

"Due to unpredictable Colombian mail service, we have moved all packages and forms to our website: http://bogota.usembassy.gov/immigrant_visas.html."

So I am guessing, that I can simply download the forms and return them by email to the embassy...

Is there any reason why I can't move ahead with this at this point?

What happens if I never receive the NOA2 Letter?

Kenny,

From everything I understand about Bogotá, your fiancée can download and submit the forms to the embassy and they will accept them before they receive the physical package from NVC (as long as they have the electronic notice from NVC.) They will start processing as soon as they have received the physical package from NVC. Do not wait!

Good luck!

I was mistaken.. They won't do anything until it has physically arrived (but you say it has), so download Packet 3 and submit it ASAP..

Look here for more info:

We have gone through the same situation with Bogota... My fiancee in Colombia has received no paperwork by courier. However, I, the U.S.C. petitioner

have received the NOA-2 and letters from the embassy in Bogota mailed to my home in the U.S.A. If you have your Bogota case number, it starts with

BGT, you can send them an email IVBogota@state.gov and they will respond within 24 hours with all the info you need. Ask precise questions and they will answer. Buena Suerte

You're gonna need that NOA2 for Adjustment of Status I believe. Maybe some other K-1 can verify this.

(I'm going for the IR-1 and blowing off the K-3. Even if it takes an extra couple months, it's worth it to not have to deal with USCIS again)

"Give me your tired, your poor, your huddled masses yearning to breathe free, the wretched refuse of your teeming shore. Send these, the homeless, tempest-tost to me, I lift my lamp beside the golden door!"

Note:

Please fill out I-130, wait 6 months for approval, then 3 more months for an interview. (Unless of course we've bombed your country into the stone age, then you qualify for expedited processing.)

Welcome to the USA!!!
