I hope someone may have an answer to this... My fiancee and I want to know if we can go from Rio directly to the US, instead of having to return to Bahia - is that possible?

Would the consulate allow us to come back and pick up the passport and anything else directly or do they only allow completed visa approval paperwork to be returned via mail it to his address?

Thank you for your reply on this!

Hi. Unfortunately this is not possible. I was looking for this information on the consulate's website and this is not an option. You really have to wait for the courier service.

My advice would be: Book a hotel in Rio and send the passport to its address, you might to have to wait few days tho. :thumbs:

Yes you can wait in Rio for them to ship the Passport/Visa back to the hotel or wherever you are staying. Historically it generally takes 2 days to get it. I am still not sure whether you have to pay for the expedite fee to get it that quick or not. We are hoping to get ours within two days after the interview and flying directly from Rio. If you look at many peoples timelines, this entirely possible. Good luck!

09/21/10 - I-129F Sent!

09/23/10 - I-129F Received in Dallas, TX

09/28/10 - Text & E-mail NOA1 (It was at 12:44AM, weird) Notification that our case was transferred to VSC.

09/29/10 - Check cashed

09/30/10 - NOA-1 Hard Copy dated Sep. 27, 2010

10/03/10 - TOUCH!

After numerous calls to USCIS, my two Texas Senators and a Congressman, the latter got an "expedite" put through (if you can call a month and a week after ONPT an expedite). Just never let up! Even though mine took way too long, there were people who were a month before me and waited longer because they just sat back and watched. "The squeaky wheel gets the grease!"

03/31/11 - NOA-2!

04/05/11 - Received NOA-2 hard copy.

04/07/11 - NVC Received

04/12/11 - Case left NVC via DHL

04/14/11 - Consulate Received Hard Copy of Case
