Hi Everyone!
I received my NOA2 on April 11 and now I am waiting on the packet 3 to be sent to the consulate in Rio to my Fiance Lucas. I was wondering if anyone here knows about the interview process there? Also when they say "pass the medical" what do they mean? What are they testing and need to know?
Thanks Jenna

Sorry to introduce myself, my name is Jenna and I am from Florida. My Fiance is Lucas. I met him while on vacation to Rio de Janeiro in August 2004. Because of our mutual interest in surfing we immediately hit it off! It was love at first sight when I walked into the Pro surf shop he worked at.

"pass the medical" means that the beneficiary has no health problems concerning to what's required by the immigration doctor and that has all the vaccines updated!

I am in the same situation as you, so I don't know exactly how the interview is in Rio de Janeiro! But I've been hearing that it's quite simple and that they don't use to do so many questions! "Carol and Marc" have detailed Carol's interview experience... But I do not know the link... CAROOOOL!! rsrs

Anyway, how did you get to know when NVC sent off his papers to Rio?! Did you receive a letter?

Chris received a letter by them with the case number and saying they would be fowarding the papers to Rio in one week or so, but I haven't heard anything else about the date when they sent the papers to Rio....

Here is what happened during my interview from 2 weeks ago. Hopefully this helps give you an idea of the process is like.

Thanks Priscila!
I did received a letter from NVC stating they were forwarding our papers to the consulate in Rio, but it took so long to get here that I had called NVC prior to the letter. I gave them my USCIS case number and they told me the date they had been sent. I hope this next part goes quick

Humm... Didn't understand it yet... So, you received a letter with your new case number and saying they would send your papers to NVC in one week, like mine? Why did you provide USCIS case number instead of the new RDJ number to know when they sent your papers to Rio?

Hey Craig,
I will not be able to join Lucas for his interview. What documents do I need to send to him to make sure he has everything for his interview? Does he need copies of my birth certificate, approval letters, proof of relationship etc. I have already sent in and forwarded to the consulate of Rio? Thanks Jenna


Hey Priscila,
I had called NVC before I received the letter from them. Almost 3 weeks had past since my NOA2 and I was worried so i called to see if they had received my paperwork yet. They told me yes and they had already forwarded it to the consulate of Rio on May 2.

Our case is about to get to NVC (so we hope) and I am already getting everything done here.. including my medical... so you guys can do it this way when the papers get here everything will be done ! Good luck to us

The interveiw is easy...They didnt ask Renato any questions. Are you sponsoring him yourself or with a cosponsor? You will only need to send him the 1-134 and the supporting docs. After you return Packet 3 you should recieve an interveiw date about a month fromt hat. If you want advice on making the process shorter just send me a private message and i will give you hints.

Hi Jenna!

Take a look in my interview and if you have more questions, let me know...

Carol

Wow gurl!!, That sounded incredibley stressful!!! The only other question I was going to ask was what papers and what order, but i found that in one of your replys. Thanks for the comment! Congrad's on ur approval...*fingers-crossed* for my love Lucas!
