  1. I explained in my original post that the uscis customer service representative said we needed a notarized certified translation. I don't think the person who wants to travel can do that. Wouldn't really make sense because it's in people's own best interest to lie to get approval to leave right? Kind of like a notary can not notarize their own papers.
  2. My wife's father had a heart attack on Saturday. We are waiting for adjustment of status and she hasn't been approved to travel yet. I called uscis today (Tuesday) since it was a 3 day weekend (of course it happened on the first day of 3) to schedule an emergency advanced parole meeting. They haven't called back, but I think the customer service rep said we needed a translated notarized document proving the medical urgency. I need to know what exactly they will want to see. She's got over 10 pages of medical documentation, but at $50 a page that will get quite expensive. We want to make sure we have the necessary evidence too. Also does it need to be notarized? Or can we pay an online service and get a certified copy emailed to me? I'm worried by the time we can get the paperwork it could be too late for her to see her father.
  3. Yeah we emailed for the packet AFTER we scheduled the interview. Good luck sorry to hear that people are having trouble scheduling their interviews.
  4. It's the email on the official website of the Colombian embassy. My fiance is actually the one who sent it, so I don't have it saved. I think she sent it in Spanish and English because she wasn't sure what language to use.
  5. To clarify we scheduled the interview for 1 month after we got the ready status, more because I was traveling to visit her then anyway, but also to give enough time just in case.
  6. I just want to make this clear. We DID NOT WAIT for the packet of instructions. We scheduled the interview as soon as ceac said ready, then emailed the embassy asking for the packet of instructions. They quickly responded to the email with the packet of instructions. I know there is a lot of controversy over this, just wanted to speak first hand how we did ours. We are applying for a k1 fiance visa for Colombia and our interview is this Friday!
  7. Within a few days of our case status showing ready we scheduled our interview, then emailed them asking for the packet of instructions and the embassy sent it. You DO NOT NEED to wait for another update. The generic message under your case status that says to wait is just that, a generic message. It applies to most embassies around the world, but not Colombia.
  8. The problem though is this is the generic message, and it seems other people are certain that Bogota is handling this differently. The official Instagram from Bogota embassy said if your case status is ready that you can schedule the interview.
  9. Ok, but when we looked at the link to schedule the interview it asked us if we received the packet of instructions. Are we meant to lie and say we received it then?
  10. I meant to quote you on my last message. I hope you see this.
  11. The email with the letter that reads: The National Visa Center (NVC) received your fiancé (e)’s/spouse’s approved I-129F petition from U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS). NVC will now forward the petition to the U.S. Embassy or Consulate in Bogota, Colombia. Please note that the transfer process can take several weeks. The U.S. Embassy or Consulate will contact your fiancé (e)/spouse when they are ready to process his or her petition. Is the email that you're talking about?
  12. Still unsure if we can schedule our interview after ceac status is "ready." The embassy and other people on social media seem to say you can schedule it once your case is ready. Ceac and travel.state.gov seem to say very clearly you need to wait for the packet of instructions. Does anyone know? Also can anyone share how long from "ready" status and the email you get saying they're sending your application to then actually receiving the instructions? They send it via email I believe, but does it go to petitioner or beneficiary?
  13. Unfortunately we still aren't sure. Even the government gives unclear instructions. They posted on their Instagram that if you check ceac and it says ready that you can schedule it. But when you check the status in the information underneath it's very clearly saying you have to wait for the packet of instructions.
  14. We just got an email from the NVC that they were sending our application to the Colombian embassy. We checked the ceac status and it said in transit. Yesterday it changed to ready. What can we do now? Can we schedule the interview without our packet of instructions? We just want to make this go as smooth and quickly as possible. THANK YOU!
