    RicFromOhio got a reaction from Cintia Carla in Rio de Janeiro Interview   
    My wife received her interview appointment for August 11 yesterday via email from NVC!
     
    I want to update the WhatsApp group and also invite my wife to that group.  For some reason my messages in that group aren't going through and the link has emojis in it and says it's an invalid link.  Can someone in that group send me the link please?

    RicFromOhio reacted to neca in Error Uploading to CEAC Portal   
    Hi all, I wasn't quite getting the "Security Error" that you guys seem to be getting, but I was getting errors and this guide is ultimately what helped me. I don't know how it fixed it, but I had zero troubles uploading after following this. I posted this in another thread, but I'll repost here. Hopefully this works for you guys too. ✌️   I found this page, where JoseRolles advised the following:

    RicFromOhio got a reaction from Chancy in Wife is in Brazil and stuck at trying to get clearance to board flight.   
    Update: just posting what she went through so if anyone is searching and finds this post, it can be helpful to them.
     
    At the smaller airport in her city, they don't have a US CBP (United States Customs and Border Protection) office so they had to contact the office in São Paulo.  International flights out of São Paulo are mainly at night, so the CBP office isn't staffed during the day.  Her flight was on Monday afternoon, that night, CBP never responded to Latam's email with request for clearance that included copies of her passport, my passport and our marriage license from Ohio. On Tuesday, they said that on Tuesday night, they would have someone from Latam in São Paulo print out the documents and walk them over to the CBP office.  This worked and she got a call late Tuesday night that she could fly.
     
    She arrived at the airport on Wednesday for her flight but Latam's software wouldn't let them bypass the "US travel ban - enter greencard information" screen.  It took a while, but eventually they found a work-around and they issued her the boarding passes for her flights to São Paulo and Miami.
     
    When she arrived in Miami, she was flagged for an interview.  She was asked numerous questions about her intentions, the reason for her visit, her job in Brazil, her condo in Brazil and many more.  She showed the officer her return ticket, the deed to her condo, her latest tax return, paystub from work, bank statement, utility bill and other documents.  They asked if she had a bank account in the US, she has a joint account with me.  They asked who puts money in that account. She said it's my husband, it's a joint account.  They asked about her job.  She can work remote from anywhere.  They asked how she got paid and access to money when she's in the US.  They asked about the I130 application.  After they asked all these questions, the officer then asked many of them a second time.  Eventually the office was satisfied she wasn't trying to bypass the process and just stay in the USA and approved her entrance into the country.

    She just got a call from the airline that she's been cleared to fly to Miami by the US CBP office in Sao Paulo!  We never doubted that she wouldn't be as she meets the requirements to be exempt from the travel ban, but didn't expect her smaller, city airport to be unable to handle it.

    Learning more about this process. everyday  I "thought" my processing center was where I mailed my packet to, but I received the paper copy of my NOA-1 yesterday and it says Potomac Processing Center at the bottom.  I've updated my timeline and now there is no longer an "estimated NOA-2 date" because it says there isn't enough information to make an estimate.  Looking at the Potomac processing times for CR-1's though, it looks like five to six months for the NOA-2 from the NOA-1.  I'm just along for the ride now.
