Rio Consulate

Hey everyone,

My fiance Sedex'd the requirements asked for by Packet 3 today. I paid a stupid amount of money, but was told it would arrive in Rio on Monday (she mailed it this morning).

Once they receive it, they assign an interview date, and then ship off Packet 4. Let's say they get it on Monday, is it possible to contact them and ask them what the interview date will be before my fiance actually recieves Packet 4?

I could of sworn I remember someone on here doing that. I would be very curious, as if it is possible that I could call them and get the date next week, I can start to plan our travel plans (I plan on going to the interview).

Anyone got the answer?

Here's another one, any clue how long it takes them to assign a interview date after they receive the ds-2001, and ds-230 part 1?

They usually ask for a week, but you could get lucky. Send an e-mail and call them in the middle of the week. Keep calling 'cus the status may change from one day to the next.

I did that (check my profile) and started call them 2-3 days after they got my packet 3. Usually you will know thw date in 1 week (2 weeks maximum). Just keep calling them after next Wednesday.

Good luck!!!

This time I got my date within a day. But I guess it was because I'm a recalled case.

Check my signature, Rio received my case on 8/21, on 8/22 Charles called them and they said the case was there just to confirm and that they sent me the packet 3. On 8/22 I sent the packet 3 by sedex 10 (paid almost 40 reais so it would get there 10am the next day). The next day 8/23 it arrived there before 10 am, I waited 1 day to call and on 8/24 I called and they told me the interview date. So call them, e-mail them, don't sit and wait.

Just an example, they sent me the packet 3 on august 22, it's september 1st and I still haven't received the packet 3. If I had waited for it to arrive here so then I would send them the packet 3 back I'd probably have my interview at least 2 weeks after the day it is, if not more.

As for how long it takes, they got my packet 3 on august 23rd and my interview date is october 10.

Good luck

Erik,

I emailed them and got the interview date before she did. The Rio consulate responded quickly to all of my email questions. Just be sure to use the "RDJ" and of course her name.

Thanx everyone for your replies. Hopefully we'll get her interview date this week!

Anyone else get this weird kind of feeling when you finally got an interview date, and knew the end of all this ####### was actually closing to a near?

Maybe it's just disbelief, as at the beginning of this journey, you never believe it's actually going to come to an end.

Hey Bill, how are you and the Ms. doing? Send me an email when you get a chance, and have the Ms. resend one to Ananda! I'm sure Ananda would love to hear some encouraging words from a fellow country woman about the interview process!

Tchau!
