Hello VJ'ers,

My fiancé and I went to our interview on Tuesday. All went beautifully except that his medical exam paperwork had been delayed in the lab and we had to go without it. The lady who interviewed us said we are set to be approved as soon as we send the medical exam. We are picking up the exam envelope this morning and plan to send the documents via Sedex 10, but realized that we were never given a specific address. Has anybody here had to send documents to the RIO embassy? Should I just use the general address listed on the website, or is there a more specific address that will get the paperwork to the correct department more efficiently? I have emailed the embassy, but they have yet to respond.

Thank you, in advance, for your words of wisdom, VJ!

Thank you. I read online that if pending documentation (such as medical) is needed, we should have been given a Section 221(g) "green form" detailing everything. We were given nothing. When you sent paperwork to the embassy, was it after the interview? Did you have any form given to you by the embassy to return with the documentation? Perhaps I am worrying too much....but I have read here on VJ that a form should have been given....

My Fiance had to send back police certificates. He was given a green form and the address listed on the form is:

Consular Geral Dos Estados Unidos

Setor de Vistos de Immigrantes

Av. Presidente Wilson, 147,Centro

Rio de Janeiro RJ, 20030-020

Fortunately he was still in Rio so he could personally bring the documents back. But that is the address they told him to mail them back if he chose to do so.

Oh and this was last week so i'm sure the info could not be more accurate! Now you can breathe a little bit more. woooh! And CONGRATULATIONS!


And what did they say to you exactly about the paperwork getting there later, any extra delay etc? i'm obviously very nervous too!

Thank you! We sent the paperwork today. We were told they could not guess how long it would delay, but the officer said that it would not take long once she received our documentation. We sent it Sedex 10, so it should arrive there before 10am tomorrow.

One thing I am worried about is that we were never given a green sheet. I only learned of this sheet from VJ. I wrote the embassy but didn't hear back. Wouldn't you know, that I return from the post office, and the just THEN received the email from the embassy. It says that the green form must be sent back with the documents. :( They emailed me the wording, but not the actual form. And the documents are already on their way. Hopefully this won't cause problems....

GRRR isn't that so frustrating! Especially considering you were doing everything you could with the information you had! The officer told my fiance that it would only take about 3 days after they had received the documents but I don't feel very assured when they say "3 days" any more hahaha. We are just hoping he'll get his before July 2! All of his documents were in by June 7 so I hope that's enough time... I am sure it is but the waiting game is not easy! I mean what does "it should not take long" mean anyway? Very relative!!

I'm sure yours will be fine especially if you continue communicating with them! I emailed them this monday just to confirm that the documents were all correct now and here was the response:

The documents were received, all correct. And forwarded to the analysis of the Consular officer. After that the case will go through the final issuance processing. We will notify you if anything else comes up in the case.

I just wish I knew what the time frame is on that but I am sure I am needlessly worrying... it's what I do best! ClockWatch2.gifsmile.png
