Baby born in Colombia. Can I apply for CRBA at Peru Embassy?

[Trynaimmigrate 0]

 I scheduled a "American Citizen Services" appointment at the embassy in Lima Peru. My child was born in Colombia. Will the embassy in Lima accept my CRBA and passport application? There is no appointment available in Bogota CO for the next 1 year+

You must schedule an appointment at the Bogota Embassy. All the CRBA interview slots fill up on the first or second day of the month, example: if you want an appointment for December, you must schedule the appointment on November 1st or 2nd. Hope that helps!

You can submit the application in Peru -- but all they will do is accept the application and charge the fees.  They will then have to send it to Bogota to be processed.  That will add time to get it there and and back and may cause longer delays if they have questions.  Plus, they won't put your application in front of the others they are working on, so you can't be sure when they will even start on it.
