I was trying to do the same the other day and noticed many people showed no date for an interview, even though it was clearly in their timeline.

You may have to do a search on the timeline but then look at each, one by one. Unfortunatly there haven't been many IR visas for Colombians lately, at least not enough to get a good estimate, it looks like you and I will be the guide for a few that are close behind.

In my case, the NVC would not tell me anything, so I proceeded to call the IV unit at the embassy in Bogota, they did not have a record of my case.The NVC received my DS-230 on september 17, on October 3, I received an email from the NVC with an interview date (on November 1st.) at the embassy in Bogota, the IV unit at the embassy did not know anything about this interview date until two weeks prior to the interview, I know this because, I tried to contact the IV unit several times, to have them correct my wife's last name which, was misspelled on the interview letter but, they said that they did not have a record of a case with my wife's name even though I had an appointment letter already. The NVC assigns the interviews unbeknownst to the embassy, seems that the embassy only finds out about a case when they receive the actual file.

As a rule of thumb, the NVC schedules interviews with most embassies during the first two weeks of the month for the following month. Bogotá has been hard to predict during the past year and half because every now and then they'll say they are booked and the NVC has to wait until the following month to make the appointment. I haven't heard of any delays lately so the NVC should be able to schedule January appointments during the first two weeks of December.

I'm really hoping i hear somthing before i fly out to colombia for the holidays.This would make things so much better.I booked my flight with end of jan return that i can change.But by the sound of everything i would assume i should have a appointment scheduled by next week our the week after.I just hope its not in feb.But then again i love being with my wife and her family in colombia.
