Sorry that this happened.
Probably better than trying to appeal these results would be to immerse her in English.
Do whatever it takes -- recorded learning programs, TV with subtitles, tutoring, absolutely anything.
She can do it.

Well done piece by RCI outlining the whistleblower Eric Ciaramella's role under Biden.
 
Impeachment ‘Whistleblower’ Was in the Loop of Biden-Ukraine Affairs That Trump Wanted Probed

Great analysis.
 
NPR’s queen of the Karens
Sometimes, a person enters the public spotlight and is such an embodiment of an established stereotype that it seems impossible for him or her to be a real person. If Tom Wolfe wanted to capture the essence of arrogant, alienated progressivism, he would reject NPR’s new CEO, Katherine Maher, as too unbelievably on point.
 
The daughter of wealthy parents whose wedding was announced in the New York Times, Maher grew up in a wealthy white suburb of New York City before studying at the American University in Cairo, the Institut français du Proche-Orient in Syria, and finally New York University.

The processing times at USCIS for the I129F can vary widely (8-16 months) depending on which service center gets your petition.  Once that is complete and approved, then the petition is sent to the National Visa Center which is part of the Department of State, and they will route it to the appropriate consulate (anywhere from 1  to 4 months).  Then you are at the mercy of the consulate and their workload which can also be several months before the actual visa interview.  Yes, even a K1 can take 12-24 months from petition to visa issuance and US entry.
 
Good Luck!

There is the 5 year rule about getting remarried as a green card holder. I had one client that he dated someone 4 years .He got an RFE to explain why he got married "so soon", yes they asked about this.I was able to explain and his wife got the GC.
 
The law says the visa petition may not be approved if the marriage occurred within 5 years that you became a green card holder.
 
A visa petition filed on behalf of an alien by a lawful permanent resident spouse may not be approved if the marriage occurred within five years of the petitioner being accorded the status of lawful permanent resident based upon a prior marriage to a United States citizen or alien lawfully admitted for permanent residence, unless:
(1) The petitioner establishes by clear and convincing evidence that the marriage through which the petitioner gained permanent residence was not entered into for the purposes of evading the immigration laws; or
(2) The marriage through which the petitioner obtained permanent residence was terminated through death.”

The question at hand has been answered - aka - your relatives need to go online and look for appointments as listed on the Bogota embassy website. This topic is now closed. 

The question has been answered - your relatives schedule them as and when they can find slots, they may be days or even weeks apart. Or they may get lucky and get two together, nobody will know until they try and schedule their appointments. 
 
Please remember that English is not everybody's first language here. Even if somebody may have misunderstood the nuance of your question, they are simply trying to help you. 
 
 

Boiler isn't my 'buddy', I don't know him, he's a random stranger on the internet. But personally I think your posts to him have been ruder than vice versa. I suspect the link about the wait times was simply a 'just in case you're not aware, this is how long the wait times are' - you'd be amazed how many people wouldn't know that there is a potential 2 year wait for an appointment and would think their relative would be over for a visit next month. 
 
As for you being in the US meaning that your relatives visas are less likely to be approved, just have a hunt around the forum and see how many people have been refused B visas for suspected immigrant intent, or lack of ties to their home countries. Having you in the US makes that much more likely. 
 
And yes, I agree that somebody not submitting their own application is fine but as you say that's for those who are illiterate or unable to complete their own applications - if that's the case then fair enough, but you haven't mentioned that being so. You completing the application for them if they were able to do so themselves just emphasises their tie to you which may not work in their favour. But this is all a guessing game, nobody knows for sure what will happen. My guess is that they will be refused a visa, as they have pretty much everything against them - US family, no money/resources, being from a high refusal country anyway, etc. But until they actually go for that interview, there's no way of knowing and sometimes there have been cases where people have surprised us and been given visas despite their circumstances.  I wish them the best of luck. 

A couple of important corrections.  First — you did not pay for the visas.  You paid for the application processing and visa interview.  It may or may not result in a visa.  Second — you cannot get them visas.  They must qualify for them in their own merits.
 
Two applications had to be filed.  There is no option for two people to be processed on one visa application/fee payment.
 
To specifically answer your question — you must pay the fee before you can schedule the visa interview.   You will need the MRV fee receipt number to get to the interview scheduling site, so you are going in the right order.  They will need two appointments, but you can schedule them on the same day (on any day that has two interview slots open, that is). 
 
 
 

In addition to following the advice above, you can also each prepare new letters of intent (same text, fresh dates) to turn in at the consular visa interview.

Surprising!

Unprecedented:  USC's Antisemitic Valedictorian Banned from Delivering Speech
 
Is the tide turning on college campuses?  Are college officials ready to turn around the antisemitic behavior of student activists?  Or is it only a college campus safety concern?
 
USC's valedictorian, Asna Tabassum, a Muslim, was selected as this year's valedictorian but questions began to arise over her suitability when she publicly raised questions about the Israel-Hamas war.  The links she posted on social media allegedly promoted antisemitism.

Tabassum has been banned from delivering her speech during the commencement ceremony as a part of the undergraduate speaker lineup.  [...]

Judge Warns Trump Criminal Trial May Last Until, Say, November 6
 
[...] "I'm just picking a date off the top of my head here," Judge Merchan said.  "It can be difficult to nail down a possible end date for any case, but if I had to make an educated guess, I'd say that this specific case will probably end on, oh, I don't know, November 6.  That's just an arbitrary date that popped into my mind and anything else happening around that time is purely coincidental."  [...]

Throughout the VJ forum, there runs the all-too-common issue of being "too married to qualify as single."  You'll need to file the I-130 petition.
