Cases sit at NVC until appointments are available.

A visa can't be approved until an interview takes place; from what you posted, it appears that only your petition was approved.  The fate of the visa itself is still pending.

Your visa is not approved until after the interview.  Your PETITION was approved.  Correct Terminology is important.  Thanks.

 

Sorry @Ryan H.  I posted before I saw your comment.

Time for you to explore the forum and start looking for answers yourself. I managed to find a thread for Bogota, it looks like people who whose petitions were approved in April-May 2020 are now having their interviews scheduled. I’d say you have another year to wait, hopefully a bit less. 

 

 

Thanks that was actually helpful

My husband's petition was DQed (documentarily qualified) on 5/29/20. We had our interview on June 1st, 2021 for IR1 visa and are currently in administrative processing. For CR1/IR1 visas they're giving interview appointments for people DQed in September/October, but I'm not sure about K1s.
