Hey dwheels76! Do i need to have the original copies of my AOS from my husband and joint sponsor at the time of my interview? Or is it ok if I'll just have a photocopy of those AOS.

Well long as you sent originals to NVC. However read what Redpeppers went through. She is still delayed because her AOS got lost between NVC and embassy. It's up to you.

Have you looked at the Post #1 and looked at all of 2013 Interview links. I have them all posted there are others from Brazil no not alot but some.

Each embassy has seasons some are busier than others depending on time of year. All you can do is be patient and when that time comes wait.

The window may be closed until end of this month.

My husband has been calling so far.. They told him they are still waiting for embassy to send them available appointments... Will tell him to ask those questions today.. Because yesterday they were closed.

I received the case complete email 2 days ago..

In fact my husband called again ... This time the lady was not nice ...she told him that they will inform us when they schedule one.. In other way stop calling!!!! :P ... But based on what I saw on vj Tunisian portal.. There are people who have been receiving their packet 4 in the middle of the month, at the beginning and at the end.. So I couldn't find a trend ..

Most stop either when they fill slots or when they have no one left. Your embassy I really can't speak on since its some timey open and closed.

You need to contact them and see whats up maybe they will give insight

Packet for for K1's or CR1/IR1? And with a less busy embassy the interview schedule is usually always open. They continue until they are full or no more to schedule for most.

So it just depends.

They haven't been closed at all since summertime. So I don't know why this is still so slow, but praying it will be over soon! I talked to the supervisor yesterday and he said that he doesn't think they have started scheduling for March yet because they will usually contact the NVC and let them know.
