Hi Aryadne e Kevin,

When is your interview? I just received my letter today. My husband received it last week. I don't know how efficient your postal service is in your place. But since it's almost a month (?) since your approval, you can try following it up with NVC. Or maybe call your Embassy if you can't really wait.

Best regards,

Ynatots

Since you already sent NVC all of your original documents all you need to take to your interview is copies and your passport. Also policies for the Consulate in Rio de Janeiro have changed and you can no longer pick up your visa from the Consulate due to backlogs so it must be mailed out. The Consulate says that your visa will arrive 3-10 days after your interview. You also need to have a medical exam which involves blood work and x-rays. You will need to take 2-3 passport-style photos with you for the medical. You can get a list of civil sergeons online on the Consulate's website. That's really all of the info that is contained in the packet that NVC sends you. They also say that you should take your appointment letter with you. If you don't have this it might cause a delay for your interview but I seriously doubt that it would cause you to miss your interview. Good Luck!
