My spouse did his medical in São Paulo. Make sure you call with ample time to ensure everything is ready. We thought we were prepared BUT then she asked if he was on any medication and he needed to get a medical report about the condition and prescriptions and then have it translated into English...that set us back about a week. He was given an xray of his chest and tested for syphilis that's it...no urine. The secretary is not very helpful since she wouldn't even tell us if it had been sent to the consulate and that there was no way of knowing if it had been or not...I was told to email the consulate, which I did, and got no response. Thankfully it was there in time of the interview.
Interview: May 21st
The interview was the easiest part! Alex gave us our documents to fill out and then we were called to check if everything was in order. I was worried about taxes for 2014 for my co sponsor and myself because none of our transcripts were available by the 21st. Luckily everything seemed to be in order I gave all the originals of everything I needed. I was also worried that I included photos with dates on the back....I am horrible with dates so I reordered the same photos and redid them so that I could ask if I could exchange them. When I asked if the photos were there with her she said no...with my luck they must have lost them. We went back to the waiting room to be called for our interview. Our interview was with an American woman who I gave the photos to. We swore to tell the truth and she looked at the photos asked us some questions about where, when, and who were in the photos. Then the same questions that everyone is asked were asked.
When did you meet?
Where?
How long have you been together.
She asked about a previous marriage USC and explained why we got divorced.
Who asked who to marry?
YOUR APPROVED!
Paid the correio fee and got our visa and medical pack in about 3 business days.
We stayed two blocks from the consulate at Hotel OK which was pretty nice!
THANK YOU TO THE ENTIRE VISA JOURNEY COMMUNITY!!
