Will need the Colombian Cedula number. Before you leave the states or just before leaving for Bogota, do a print out and bring it to the interview. You will need a print out that you paid the VISA fee.

can you please tell me again can i schedule interview now before bogota has received my info?

i was confused by your first reply... do i have to wait to schedule interview or can i do it now

Nope

Just have to get your papers ready and you can get the packet info before Bogota ever responds to you.

nope i can not scheldule interview???

i have a question i called the NVC today and got my case number now can i go to the us embassy bogota website and schedule my fiancees interview or do i have to wait till the the bogota embassy sends me the 3 and 4 packets?

i am so pissed off USCIS approved my i-129f on January 2, 2013 and i didnt hear anything from the NVC and i kept calling and emailing. So today i receive a email update from USCIS and i check it now i have a new approval date of January 25,2012... SO THEY MESSED UP AND FORGOT TO SEND MY PAPERWORK TO NVC SO THEY CAN DO THEIR PART AND SEND IT TO THE US EMBASSY SO THEY JUST CHANGED THE APPROVAL DATE TO GIVE THEMSELVES ANOTHER 15 DAYS TO SEND IT TO THE NVC..WRRRRRRRRRRRR

i received my NOA2 from CSC approved Jan 2nd 2013 and i received my NOA1 july 27 2012.. so that is false what they are telling you

I think my case file was sent to the nrc and not nvc wrrrrrr

Just be patient. You will reach people at the NVC who are rude and don't really care, and you will also reach people who are really nice and are willing to help you. Just keep calling.

thanks for keeping me good minded

Don't listen to what they tell you about waiting 15 days. If they don't have your petition yet, keep calling them every day. Call them every day until you have your case number, and afterwards that they have sent your petition to the embassy. It only takes a couple days to arrive at NVC, maybe a couple days to process and then they send it off again.

They tell everyone to wait 15 days, they said that to me the first time I called them. I called the next day and the nice lady I talked to said she had the petition and even asked me if I wanted the case number. I called a couple days later and they already sent it to the embassy. Don't give up, keep bugging NVC about it until you have the information you need. YOU are in a hurry to get your interview appointment, not NVC.

i called again today and was today they dont have any record of my case in their system but i have a friend who looked up my file to see where it is at and said it was received by the NVC yesterday morning..why are they playing games wrrrrrrrrr

Thank you alot you have help me so much

i finally reached someone at the NVC and was told i have to wait 15 working days from when my NOA2 date to call them!!!!!!

No they are different. The case number is the number assigned to your case at the embassy. It will always start with: BGT

do you know the number to the NVC cause i keep calling and getting a busy signal..16033340700???

Ok thanks

Wait for the paper copy of the NOA2 to come in the mail, and then start calling NVC every day to get your case number and see if they have sent it to the embassy. It will only stay at NVC a couple days so it should be sent rather quickly to the embassy. During this time, you need to make sure your fiancee has her birth certificate, police report, and at least 6 passport style photos. You need to start gathering the information for the I-134 form, affidavit of support. You will need a letter of employment, recent paystubs, and last 3 years tax transcripts.

When NVC has confirmed they have sent it to the embassy, wait a few days and send the embassy an email, with your case number as the subject. Ask them if they have received your petition. If they have, they will reply to you with the K-1 visa instructions. You can also at this time pay the visa fee and book the interview appointment. When the appointment is booked, have your fiancee make an appointment with one of the panel doctors to have your medical exam. My fiancee went to Dr. Dennis, he was very nice and very professional.

Also at this time you can start filling in the DS-156, DS-156k, and DS-230 forms.

Would the case number be the alien registration number?

how do i get visas for her children i put them on her i129f but not sure if i need to do anything else

her NOA2 for her K-1 visa

i just received email that my fiancees noa2 has been approved today what will our next steps be and what will we need?

Yeah, I called yesterday and they said they're still working on July 16th, the same date they told me when I called on the 20th. The "outside of normal processing time" definition is kinda misleading because although my petition is just now over 5 months old (the processing time listed on their website), it's not technically because they're working on 7/16...which is what they're using to measure 5 months, not FIVE.ACTUAL.MONTHS...ugh. Sorry, had to vent. Hopefully soon we'll hear something. I was told to call back on the 4th.

the worst part of this is i work for department of homeland security-ICE and i cant get anything done haha

i called the USCIS hotline and they informed me that CSC is behind and i should hear something within 9 days

What is the cause of the backlog?

he said the backlog is caused by the new dream act visa and that uscis is under staffed because of this

i was just told from a friend that works with USCIS to expect 9 months now for the NOA2 because they are backlogged
