Need help from Brazil

[rkj082000 11]

My fiancee' is from Brazil. We just received our NOA2. I know it will take about 3-4 weeks for Rio to receive our package. When can we schedule the interview? Do we need to wait for her to receive the package in the mail with all the required documents? Does the consulate schedule the interview or do we call to schedule. Thanks in advance!

In our case in 2009, we waited a week or so for NVC to receive our package (currently taking longer than this), and then emailed the consulate to find out if they had received it. They replied with the interview date. The beneficiary will also receive a letter stating the interview date. A little while back, it was taking around 2 months to get an interview. As far as I know, the process is still the same, and you don't schedule your own date. Good luck!

It is my understanding that the consulate will contact you with your interview date. I received my NO2 April 9 and my info was mailed to Rio from the NVC last Wednesday I haven't heard anything yet. Although I'm grateful that i've passed the dreaded petition waiting game I feel like this stage is so very stressful as well. Let us know how your's goes and let me know if you want me to update me on how long mine takes in the end.
