We are the same "In Transit" date as you and have not received our "letter" either. I'm trying to hold her hand (she is the Brazilian beneficiary) to schedule our appointment. I believe she will check this box? 

 

Do you pay online?

 

Yes.....choose this.

She will pay and select interview date

can you book an interview before you get you letter from Montreal? while you're in transit?

I believe Canadians receive a packet 3 that you need to respond to before you're able to schedule your interview. Check with fellow Canadians/embassy requirements.

I'm sure we will meet - the time slots are close together.

I believe we will be staying in Rio, a day or two before the weekend and over the weekend.

Assuming the doctor will be stacking us all to process in the few days before the 6th.

 

We sent doc an email....waiting to hear on the appointment..

Hi guys!

Have any NOA2 Feb 8-9 had their case hit NVC yet?

Might be too early for that! Advise is to start calling NVC roughly 1,5 week after NOA2 approval. It can go slightly faster than that, but also longer. Now that NVC is going faster again, I don't think this doc is very up to date - but there are a couple cases around that date that don't have an update yet:

Andddd, you're asking in the NOA2 January thread

I will arrive in Rio Sat. the 3rd from Dallas. She will be doing medical the week prior to that I assume. Our appt. slot is 7:40AM.

Lets hope our status changes to "Ready". We noticed the online appointment app lists the DS-160 status as "In Transit". Woo-hoo! Getting close.

Also waiting on an appointment. My fiance emailed them Friday and called today and he was told that they'll get to the e-mails, they've just apparently been hit with a lot of them recently. They'll get it sorted out though.

Yeah, they have several to sort now for the March 6 date.

We will all be there the week before running between the doctor and the clinic.

Waiting to hear what days this will happen.

We are sorting our logistics between Campos and Rio - our new mini-vacation, hahaha

Hey guys would anyone happen to know if its a good idea to fill out TWO affidavits for support?    I didn't know if there is a limit. my parents will fill one out because they have much high income ( my wages exceed the requirement but my job is temporary and may actually end soon).   Should I still fill one out since I am working right now in addition to the one my folks fill out. ?  thanks :-)

I think it's good to have both, ready and available.

For the embassy in Rio, they require it to be sent in to the embassy ahead of time?  or just for the bene to take it with them for the interview?

It makes me feel better that we're all in the situation, and that the doctor (from what I was told) seems to be prompt about responding to e-mail and scheduling appointments. So I'm sure they'll get it all sorted out soon. Hopefully we hear something this week. 

 

I think that's the most stressful mini-vacation I've ever heard of

haha, yeah.

 

Doctor responded with email, right before lunch and has 4 worksheets attached with information and lead-time for xray, etc.

They will only respond by email - I think you have to return a form to schedule - I did not read all of it, yet (in Portuguese)

I think it says that blood and vaccines are no longer necessary - vaccines can be taken in the States.

 

Some of you already have fiance in Rio

For those traveling into Rio - I understand it can be dangerous right now....its not a good time.

 

I understand it is better to take a hotel near the doctor in Leblon....stay out of center city (where embassy is)

Also to be careful when traveling - bandits on the road.

 

We will be traveling 4.5 hours by bus, through Taubate - then on to Rio.

My fiance is from SP - she is very worried about the whole Rio trip.

Everyone be careful and be street smart.

Try to have some fail-safes in place.
