Change interview location

[dereka e dulcim 0]

We are waiting for the NOA2 still. However, I am wondering if it is possible to change the location where the interview would be. On the I-129F, we put down Rio, but now it looks like Brasilia might be the better choice. Does anyone have experience with this? My thinking is that it would be better to wait until the package arrives at the consulate in Rio and then we ask them to send to Brasilia. What do you think?

I can only speak from my experience here in Canada but I don't think that you get a choice. The consulate you interview at is determined by where your beneficiary lives in her home country.

No, you can't change that. Only the consulate in Rio de Janeiro handle immigrant visas.

Even if it was other kind of visas, you are entitled to go to the consulates in your jurisdiction. For example: I live in Maceio, so I can only apply for visas in the Consulate in Recife. Unfortunately that's how they work. Good luck!

So tourist visas follow this same rule of jurisdiction? How would we find out our area of jurisdiction? My fiance's family wants to come over and visit us in a few months. I know only Rio handles the immigrant visas, but I thought they would be allowed to go to any of the other consulates for the tourist visa. If you have any info on this, it would be very helpful! Obrigada!

Brasilia does not do these interviews

Thanks Mrs. Disney. I think I found out after I posted this that only Rio does the immigration visas. I did not know that you could only go to consulates in your jurisdiction though. My fiancee lives in Fortaleza and applied for tourist visas at both Recife and in Rio... she did not say anything about not being allowed to go to Rio because it wasn't in her jurisdiction.
