Medical Examination

[TLlanos 4]

Hey guys! Good morning to everyone!

I have a curious question to ask. I am Brazilian, and my husband is American. We already underway with the entire process with NVC, and our ID number starts with RDJ (Stands for Rio de Janeiro, which is where we will be getting interviewed within the coming months). Question here is: I live in Rio Grande do Norte ( I'd say about 2 1/2 hours by plane to Rio from here ) and will soon have to get the medical done. There is a NVC doctor in Recife ( about 3 hours by bus from here ). Would it be possible to get this medical done there? Does it have to be done in the state that you are getting interviewed in?

Thankyou in advance for any help!

You can use your local doctor provided he/she is approved by the consulate. If he is listed by the NVC as an accredited physician you should not need to get to Rio for your medical.

Check out this link and confirm with your doctor before you make an appointment and pay anything: http://www.visajourney.com/consulates/index.php?ctry=Brazil&cty=Rio%20De%20Janereiro

Congratulations and good luck with your visa!!!
