Hi, I just wanted to let you all know about a scheduling error we encountered at the NVC this week.  

 

CC is 4/14, I called on 5/10 and was told an interview had been scheduled on 5/8.  They gave me the date and time, it was for mid June in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.  After spending the next day planning travel and medical appointment, right before we booked a rather expensive plane ticket, my husband wanted to call the NVC to double check the date because we had not received an email from them yet.  This time they said we didn't have an interview scheduled... after questioning further, they said they saw that we did have one scheduled but it had been removed because "of a scheduling error with the new system".  We received NO notification that they un-schuelded our interview.  

 

I called again today to see if they had resolved the issue, they have not, we still have no interview yet.  I spoke to a supervisor and they said it happened to a group of people, it was not an isolated case, but that "everyone had been notified" - which was not the case for us.  I asked if it was only the Rio de Janeiro consulate or a more widespread issue, and they said only RDJ because they have a new system in place, not all consulates.  I'm not super confident in what they say though, so who knows if other locations may have changed their system too.  Just wanted to warn others to double check in case you are planning on buying some tickets and have not received the email yet.

Hello,

 

i am new on this thread but been following for a while. 

last friday (5/4/17) we were told we have an appointment in Rio scheduled for 6/2/2017. I called today to verify since I didn't get an email confirming an appointment and was told there was a scheduling error and we do not have an appointment scheduled anymore. If you could please keep me updated on this matter. I will be calling today around 10pm to see if they can give any updates on the issue.

No problem, I'll let you know if we hear anything.  I called around 2PM today and they said they hadn't solved it yet, so I was going to call back early next week and see what they say.  Let me know if you hear any good news when you call tonight.
