Interview scheduled by consulate via E-MAIL

[Dave&Carolina 0]

Hey folks, I've tried to find my answer on older posts, but I didnt ... so I decided to post a new topic.

My fiance and I got our NOA2 by may 2. On the next week he got another letter from NVC sayin they got our petition and it would be sent to the consulate in my country (Brazil)within a week.

So by may 25 i sent the immigration department an e-mail asking if they have received our petition, since i couldnt get my answer when i called (waited over 40 min on hold).

On the very next day they answered me saying i already have an interview date scheduled by them, which is July 19 and i should not wait for the instruction package to start gathering what i need to bring upon interview.

Have this ever happened to any of u? If so, will I ever receive the instruction package by mail or not?

I'm so anxious here, hope everything goes alright.

Best wishes to everybody.

Yes! My fiancee never got the package by mail. Just go to medical and make the package yourself and take it with you to the consulate on the day of interview. Your fiancee's name will be on the list. Just in case, what I did is requested date by e-mail and printed out e-mail as a proof. Never used it though. In some countries like Russia mail never gets there so I suspect they stopped sending it.

One more thing: the chances are that you will NEVER receive the package. Don't wait for it. Just schedule medical and fill out paperwork. Package IS useless.

Congratulations. We just had our interview on May 24th in Rio. I will email you some information that may help you I hope. We posted a review about the consulate. We were approved and we are leaving Sao Paulo on June 6th to go back. Here is the link you need for Brazil.

It has everything you will need.

Oh yeah.. You DO NOT get a package in Brazil. You will get a letter stating the interview date and to follow the instructions on the link that I gave you.
