I totally understand! I went to bed last night so upset because we couldn’t schedule. 

But when we booked today there were plenty of times left for the 27 and 28. So don’t give up hope! The next day was April 6, so still not too far away. 

The good news is things are finally coming to a close. Soon all of this will be a laughable memory when you’re spending your time growing old together in happiness. 

Fingers crossed you’ll be able to book tomorrow and John and I will see you guys on the 27th! 

thank the LORD JESUS there are 27th and 28th dates.... I'm praying he can book it today..... April 6 is too far lol.

Team brazil! I'm so happy I found this group, spent hours reading all of these pages, but I'd still have one doubt, after I get my NVC number i can start filling the DS160, pay the fee and schedule the doctor and interview? Or there is a step in the middle, like a letter from the embassy to the beneficiary? 

 

And good luck to all of you, you are so close to be with your loved ones! Can't wait to read how everything went, the doctor and the interview so I can get ready! 

 

And try to enjoy Rio, it's not a good moment for the city, but it's still beautiful, and if you need anything while here, if your beneficiary is not a carioca, I'll be happy to help 😉

Team Brazil TeamRio

Welcome!

After you get your NVC number, track it on the NVC website and fill out the DS160. Once in transit you can try to schedule your interview ( it may take a day or two before the system registers your case number..so dont freak out like i did lol) 

After you schedule your interview then you can schedule your medical.

Thats all i know from first hand. lol Others from Team Brazil can chime in  

Good luck!

RDJ 2018 XXXXXX

 

(i will paraphrase)

 

Follow these instructions.  You will not receive any additional letters by mail.

Consulate has received your petition for K-Visa, congratulations you are one step closer to your visa interview.

 

Special attention to the following 3 documents - they can often delay visa applications if not submitted correctly.

 

1. Recent Police Certificate - Federal Police

2. Recent Police Certificate from the "Secretaria de Seguranca Publica"

    https://br.usembassy.gov/visas/family-immigration/where-to-apply/

3. Where applicable;  Notice of Approval for I-601A waiver and proof of your departure from the United States (only for applicants with prior unlawful presence in the United States.)

 

Scheduling Process:

 

1.  Fill out DS-160; one for each applicant.

2.  Register at the scheduling site.  You will need the CASE NUMBER (RDJ 2018XXXXXX)

     Make sure you are in the "IMMIGRANT VISA"  section (green) of the website.

     Options: choose the correct condition "I HAVE A LETTER FROM THE CONSULAR SECTION WITH      INSTRUCTIONS TO REGISTER OR SCHEDULE A K-VISA APPOINTMENT."

3.  Choose your preferred delivery option for receiving the visa if your application is approved.

4.  Pay the required fee.  One fee for each applicant.

5.  Schedule an appointment for your interview.  Print out the appointment confirmation page.  You will need to send this to the doctor to prove your Interview date and schedule the exam.

6.  Print your confirmation page and bring it to the consulate on the day of your interview.

 

All applicants must follow these steps.

 

I will add:

 

Follow instructions on the Consulate website contact the doctor in Rio.  The doctor will only respond to email.  Doctor will return email with 4 documents attached.  Read the instructions and complete form 4 with your requested exam date. Pick a day 4 days prior to embassy interview.

All tests (blood, urine and xray) can be done in one day or 2.

 

Plan your time in Rio, allow for 6 nights stay.  Decent hotels are approx. $450-500 USD for the 6 nights, including breakfast.

 

The doctor + exams and Consulate are about 40 min. apart by car....

 

Good luck,  see you in Rio.

 

ps...i don't know if everyone will receive or if I received because I emailed the embassy when I couldn't schedule....
