You log on to the USCIS website and look at your cases. If the date has changed, then it has been touched.

You guys,

I need some advice...

Rio has already scheduled my interview, right? I didn't even had to send them packet 3 for that. The lady at the Embassy said that they would be sending a packet 3 to me at home and that I would probably get it in a couple of weeks.

Thing is, a lot of people NEVER got their packet 3, or when they got it, it happened a couple of days before the interview. So I was thinking: should I send them the DS 2001, DS 230 - part I, copy of my passport and picture already? I mean, send the documents from packet 3 ahead of time, before even receiving the "actual" packet 3?

Is every packet 3 the same, or is it different in each case?

I am afraid that they will get cranky about me not sending these documents or anulle my interview because I didn't send the documents..

OK Renatchi, Now you are acting like my wife again. Worrying about something before there is anything to worry about. I would say, just finish getting all of your paperwork together and take care of your medical so that everything is ready. You have around 8 weeks before the interview. wait a few weeks and if you have not received anything then call the embassy and ask them what you should do. For now just relax and take care of business and plan on receiving the packet 3 in 2 or 3 weeks.

Last night when I was talking to Jessica, we were talking about what is left in the process and everything that will happen. When we talked about the Packet 4, I told her to remember that it is very important that when she receives her packet 4 that she does not open it because it is to only be opened by immigration in the US. So she starts worrying about packet 4. Not only if something happens that it is open, but what if she is in a taxi that is in an accident and the packet 4 goes out the window and is lost, or if someone robbs her house and steals her packet 4. I told her that only my wife would think of these things to worry about.

So for now, just relax take care of business and DON'T WORRY. You will drive yourself crazy.

Steve, we women worry too muuuuch! Let us be ussss!

I just want things to be done ahead of time, so that there are no last minute surprises! I am taking care of things, like, next Thursday I have the doctor's appointment. I will also get my federal police clearence on Friday! YAY!

I am getting things done, but I have a powerful brain, I can think 10000000 things at once! hahahahahahahaahhahaha

I know what Jessica means... I mean, my interview is in Rio, I could get robbed anywhere! What if I lose this packet? What if I forget it at the airplane on my way to São Paulo? What if the dog pees on it and everything goes blurry?! (I don't have a dog, but it could happen!) Maybe I should put packet 4 in a safe... but what if I forget it when I leave? What if a bird comes up my window and chew my packet? You never know!

These things happen, Steve, and you must agree with me... Jessica and I like to cover every possibility!

That's why we worry too much! haha

I don't mean to drive myself crazy... but I just can't help it!

So, how's things with Jessica's background clearance in Peruuuuu?

Ok, Ok!!!!! if it makes you guys feel better then go ahead and worry!!

Things are going good with her documents from Peru. Monday she went to the Consulate of Peru in Buenos Aires, and they helped her write a proxy to allow her father to get the documents for her and then they notarized the letter. She sent it to her father and he should receive it either tomorrow or Saturday. And she got all of the information for the three police certificates that she needs. 2 of them he will get the same day, but one takes about 5 days, so it will not be a problem. And she was told that it would not be a problem to get 2 copies of everything.

Then she wants to get them legalized. I keep telling her that they do not need to be legalized because I asked both the embassy and the NVC and they both told me that they do not need to be legalized. But she said it is very easy and all of the documents can be done in 1 day. Because she does not believe the embassy and NVC that they do not need to be legalized. But because it is only one day, I told her to go ahead and get them legalized. Plus I guess since she is doing this stuff now, it is better, because if she needs to use the documents in the United States later, they would need to be legalized anyways.

But she already has all of the documents from Buenos Aires, and she has taken care of all of her vaccinations. Because she did not have any of the records of the vaccinations that she received as a child. So when we get everything from her father in about a week and a half, everything will be ready.

I just got off of the phone with the Embassy in Buenos Aires. It is a phone number for scheduling interviews for visas like visitor or employement. But I talked to a very nice woman who said that she would send an e-mail for me to find out about our I-129F and she took my cell phone number and said that she would call me tomorrow. And if she could not reach me, she would call my wifes cell phone. To tell me about my paperwork and when to expect the packet 3.

But I think that all she will be able to do is tell me if they have my I-129F and when they will send the Packet 3. The Embassy website even says that they schedule the interview when they recieve the packet 3 back. But, they are pretty fast a interviews in Buenos Aires. It is usually only a couple of weeks.

Steve, they also say that they will only schedule an interview after they receive a packet 3!

But you have your date!!!!!!!

I was reading the interview timelines and statistics in the State.gov website. Last year the Embassy in Rio issued 1961 immigrant visas, while Buenos Aires only issued 460. This is why the timelines on the website show that for an interview in Buenos Aires the wait is less than a week, whereas the wait time for an interview in Rio is around 5 weeks.

Now don't you wish that you had gone to Buenos Aires to get married?

But they didn't send me any confirmation! That's the problem....

Well, it's not our fault we have the prettiest women (besides Peru, of course) and everybody wants to marry us brazilians!

And BIG NO! I don't wish I had gone to Buenos Aires to get married... and you know why... lol

What are 5 weeeeeks, Steve?! hahahahahahaha :lol::lol::lol::lol:
