case complete with interview scheduled in rio de janeiro, brazil

hi everyone,

first just wanted to say thanks for having this forum, it has been really helpful in keeping me sane throughout this entire process to bring my husband to the US.

nebraska took her sweet time to process the i-130 (6.5 months) but for us the NVC has been a much better\faster experience fortunately. now just waiting for my husband to complete his medical and attend his scheduled interview in mid april, then get him on plane back here asap.

i was happy that my case was complete about 1 month after the scan date to the NVC and that they scheduled the interview in rio earlier than i had expected. so just a little nervous waiting out the remaining process, but hopeful.

thanks everyone for sharing their experiences and timelines.

Hi sharkfin,

It took just a few days for the results of the medical exams. The doctor's office gave my husband the option of picking them up otherwise he would have to pay a courier to send the packet to the consulate. The interview date was scheduled about 34 days after the case complete notice by the state dept. That was earlier than expected ... I've seen other cases taken more like 6 weeks or more for the interview to be scheduled,

Good luck

hi 2hubbys

thanks for your time in answering my question. very kind of you.

my specific concern is the no. of days from the medical exams to the interview so i'd know the no. of days i will book her in a hotel from that day to interview day as she lives quite far from RDJ. can she do medical 2 days or i day prior to interview so her hotel stay won't be that long and expensive.

what do you advice?

thank you, again.

Hi sharkfin, sorry for the late reply,

So your wife will need to make the appointment with the doctor's office and the secretary can place the order for the two lab exams for her ahead of the office visit in Rio. The labs are close to the doctors office in Rio by the way.

Is Rio the closest place for her to do the exams? She could possibly do in another large city like Belo or São Paulo etc.

Anyhow, if you do the labs ahead of time ... at least 5 days before appointment with doctor, then the doctor can provide you the results in his office at the time of the appointment, and you take the packet with you to the interview.

I would advise you contact the doctors secretary and she can advise you on the timing.

Hope that helps, 2hubbys

thank you, 2hubbys. it sure helps.

now i have an idea the no. of days she have to be booked. 5 days is reasonabe althougth she won't have much to do during those days if i don't join her there.

i have work to do tho' and money is needed to pay all the costs needed to bring her here:)

thanks, again.
