Brazil question after NOA2

[mtr 0]

Hi, we received the NOA2 7/25 and the approval is good through 10/24. She has not yet received any information from the US embassy.

My fiancee is visiting from 8/15-9/15 on a tourism visa so I have a few questions.

For Brazil, do they schedule your interview or do you schedule yourself?

Will we have enough time to do the medical and interview when she returns 9/15 but before 10/24?

Can you get an extension on the 10/24 date? How do you do this?

Any tips for the medical procedure (which doctors, etc)?

Thank you

Nope couldn't find the info i was looking for there.

I'm most interested in finding out if they schedule the interview date and whether you can extend/reschedule the date.

Hi, if you click the Brazilian flag under your picture and then go to "Rio de Janeiro Consulate Information" under "Quick Links" there's a very comprehensive description of the procedures in Rio. It looks like the Rio consulate will assign your interview date in a letter that will be sent to your fiancee. I assume that you'd then have to negotiate with the consulate about rescheduling.

From the "Embassy Reviews" of the Rio consulate it sounds like they can be a little difficult to communicate with, although apparently email inquiries in Portuguese seem to get answered more promptly.

As far as the medical exam goes, the preferred doctor in Rio seems to be the one with an office across from the consulate (I think the name is Dr. Duarte). From the embassy reviews it seems that you can often schedule an exam with him close to your interview date. If your paperwork is otherwise in order, you may not need an extension if your fiancee can schedule the exam around the interview date.

Good luck with the next stage of the process!

The consulate will schedule the interview, but you can email them in a couple of weeks if you don't want to wait for the official letter. We had a good experience with Dr. Duarte in Rio for the medical. Good luck!

When you do the medical in Rio can you do it a day before the interview?

I believe you can, but you want to be sure the doctor can have all of the paperwork ready for the embassy before you go to the interview. If not, they won't be able to approve you, and you will have to provide them with the additional documents. I would contact the doctor directly and ask how long it will take to have your results. To be safe, we scheduled an appointment for a couple of days before the interview.
