Hi everyone! We had the interview last Wednesday and we were APPROVED! I am so glad I decided to go to the interview. I truly believe if I wouldn't have gone we would have been denied. The consul lady questioned me for about 5 minutes and it wasn't easy. She only talked to my fiance for about 30 seconds. My fiance will be flying to Nashville tomorrow to spend a few days with some of her family and I will go this weekend to bring her home. Once she gets here we will start planning the wedding.

Interview is August 27th. I can't wait!

Well, I called NVC back to verify the information I got yesterday was correct because the woman really didn't act like she knew what she was talking about. The woman today said the embassy received our package on July 8th and sent out package 3 on July 15th. She must be referring to receiving the package electronically because i got a letter from NVC stating the package was sent out July 7th and I doubt the package got there in 1 day. So, I'm just as confused as I was before, but it does look like our package is at the embassy and now we wait for our interview date. Is there a way to confirm they received our faxed response?

Have you called the embassy? Ours was recieved within a couple of days but the package from the embassy was lost in the mail and I had to call to find out about it. You can get the ball rolling by going to the following web page.

http://bogota.usembassy.gov

just like that, without the www and it will bring up a page for the bogota embassy. along the top will be a visa button. go to the non immigrant visa part and download your k instructions and if you fiance has her passport, just fill out the DS 2100 that is page 4 of the information package, along with a cover letter and page 1 and 2 of DS 230 and fax it to them. Make sure she has everything else you need for the appointment but you will still have time to get the items taken care of.

My email address is hobboo@hotmail.com if this was helpful, great, if not and you want to ask a question, just email me directly. We are both on a similar timeline!!!

Thanks Dennis. Yesterday I called the NVC and was told that they have received our package and we had already prepared the forms, so we faxed them later that afternoon.

Have you tried tracking the shipment from the NVC to Bogotá via DHL?

Here's the link that will show you how: http://www.visajourney.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=98172

That may help a little. But don't sit and wait around for the embassy to come back to you with an answer about what happened to your case 'cause it might take months.

Yes I tried tracking the package, but no luck. Thanks.

Congratulations on those who got their approvals and interview dates. For those of you still waiting... keep your head up and think positive. Our case left NVC over a week ago and has yet to arrive at the embassy. It's difficult to have to wait again, but I know I will be with my fiance soon. It's hard when you have no control over what happens, but you have to keep thinking of the end reward.

Thanks for the info. I received 2 letters stating the case has been forwarded and called a few times to verify if the embassy has received the case. Looks like the times vary, so I guess I'll have to wait it out... again.

Our NOA2 was approved on July 1st. NVC sent it out on July 7th and the embassy still hasn't received the case. Is this the norm? Just curious as to how long I should expect for the case to arrive in Bogota? Thanks.

Thanks everyone. I know these are my first few posts here, but I have been lurking in the background for awhile and reading everyone's comments. Seeing that others were getting approved gave me hope that ours was coming soon.

We're approved! Just received the e-mail. Good luck to the rest of you still waiting. I know it's tough but keep thinking positive thoughts.

Looks like we got a touch today. The first one since 4/15, so I hope the NOA2 is soon to follow.
