You still don't have a date? I really hope you do get one soonest.

@Louie1988 I'm not applying via the Brazilian embassy because I live in Canada but I'm Brazilian so your pain hits close to home. Sadly, it seems that the Brazilian slowness has extended even to the US embassy there? :/

 

I really hope you get a date soon. That seems so so frustrating :( I think I would keep calling and asking about it anyway, but I'm sure that's annoying too. Hang in there!!!

 

Also @Ebony1 thank you for being happy for me :) I hope everything goes well with your case too!

Hey guys,

 

CC Sept 12th, received an email today to say our case is waiting in queue awaiting interview scheduling in my home country. What is the process from now? Can we call NVC to get an interview date or do we call the US embassy in my home country? Are we still awaiting the P4? 

 

NVC will notify you once interview is scheduled. You will receive P4 (interview letter) once it is scheduled. You can also call NVC to check if you have a date yet, but I believe they usually schedule last/first few days of month or mid-month.

You can check spreadsheet to see estimated time based on your country.

Yeah, Brazil is a complete mess right now. I will keep calling them, I think all the representatives at the NVC already know me. Thanks.

Hi :) 

you can call NVC to check if they have scheduled your interview at the embassy if they have NVC will let you know the date and time...P4 is the interview letter... Good luck!
