NVC Interview Appointment -> How to register?

[CarlosV 2]

I received an email from NVC about upcoming interview appointment for my wife and step-daughter. It directs me to this site -> Interview Preparation (state.gov)  I click on the link go to embassy La Paz. It says to register appointment online. I attempt to register both but when I enter their Case No it says not ready for appointment. Do I have to wait to do this? Also, it ask for the DS-260 number. Is that the Confirmation No on the DS-260?

Are you a US citizen or a green card holder?

OK, sounds like your case isn't at the consulate yet. What does your online status say, does it say it's in transit?

Where do I find the online status? NVC sent email that it is Feb 1. I don't see a status in NVC.

 

Is there a fee that needs to be paid after interview?

I learned the $220 is the green card fee. It doesn't have to be paid at the consulate. It is paid to USCIS. 

 

The status on USCIS is it was sent to State.

Yes, immigrant visa fee for the production of the green card - and yes, it's paid to USCIS, you'll be told how to pay at the interview. 

 

Looks like you've already got your interview date?
