I wanted to check that I have the correct number to call immigration.

I have 21-3823-2021

Every time I call I hear a message stating that the other party is not picking up. I use a PIN number/calling card from www.dial55.com and never had this happen before.

Has this ever happened to anyone?

Should I use another calling card? Is this the correct number?

Thanks in advance.

That is the number to use between 13:30 and 15:30. Never dealt with calling cards. Try an email. They typically will respond the next day, at least that has been my experience.

Thanks Joey. I've sent them e-mails. I'm asking for my interview date because some things are happening at work and I need to know soon so I can plan everything around that.

I was told they don't give interview dates out via e-mail (which I know cannot be true because couples have found out that way). I'll try another calling card then.

Meredith,

I understand. Cannot explain the deal with the callnig card and the message you receive. I emailed the Consulate in Rio with a question about our Interview date Sunday! I hope to have something in my personal email when I get home this afternoon. Fingers crossed!
