K1BR

And now this waiting game with the Embassy, Bogotá in our case.

So the trick is to check around at 4pm, correct? (Which is 5pm my time as I am in Curacao). It is gonna be a huge logistical task as I will be traveling from Curacao to Bogotá, just for the K1 visa; selecting the appointment/ selecting travel dates/ booking the medical/ work.

I am just hoping that once the visa is approved, the passport with the visa in it is returned back asap, as I will need this to travel back home.

Thanks to your posts on this board, our hopes of appointments becoming available in Bogotá soon are kept alive .

Excellent!

I will contact the embassy via email.

I checked our I-129F package, beneficiary's email address was not requested on any of those documents.

Thanks for taking your time to reply.

Hi there everyone,

Called NVC yesterday and we received our new case number. Ceac website shows that our case is ready for scheduling for interview.

So far we have not received any hardcopy mails (with exception of NOA1).

I'm a little confused about what happens next. Will US Embassy Bogota be sending any hardcopy mails to beneficiary from this point? Will they be reaching out to us now? Fiance lives in Curacao and will be travelling to Bogota for medical and interview (US Consulate in Curacao does not handle K visas)

Hope someone can help us out with some info.

Thanks!

Checked the CEAC website this morning. We have received our Immigrant Visa Case Number (BGTXXXX....) Case creation date: 04 August 2015

My fiance will be travelling from Curacao to Bogotá for the medical and the interview (US consulate Curacao does not process K visas).

Based on case creation: can we assume that BGT embassy has accepted our case?

We got following message from CEAC website:

Your case is ready for your interview when scheduled at the U.S. Consular section. If you have already scheduled an appointment for an interview, please prepare your documents as directed in your appointment letter and appear at the consulate on the appointed date and time. Otherwise, please wait until you have been notified of your interview appointment. Additional information about how Immigrant Visa interview appointments are scheduled can be found at:http://travel.state.gov/visa/immigrants/info/info_3731.html

As you can all imagine, our big question is: WHAT HAPPENS NEXT? [[[Have gone through info on Colombia Portal here on VJ, however portal contains certain outdated portions and therefore makes it confusing/ questionable]]]

1) Will the Embassy contact beneficiary? How will this happen? I double-checked our original I-129F package, my fiance's (beneficiary's) email address was never required. I have read somewhere that the embassy contacts you via email?

2) Anybody that can shed some light on time estimates from this point?

3) Should we take initiative and contact BGT embassy?

Things are definitely moving faster from now on. We just want to make sure we stay on top of the process and get everything well organized before my fiance travels to Bogotá for the interview and medical. Also we will be sending a petition for his Dutch Police Certificate soon as he has lived for a couple of years in the Netherlands.

Would appreciate your help.

@Pitaya: Indeed, that is part of my concern as well. Now just hoping that us filing at the US Embassy in Colombia won't deliver any surprises or extra hurdles by not residing in Colombia.
