NVC to interview in Rio, Brazil

[Chair_force1 195]

Is there any issue with wearing cargo shorts to the US consulate in Rio to go to the interview?  I hate pants and would hate to bring them.  What do you all think?

It’s a formal interview so I wouldn’t. But then again when I was there I saw people wearing ripped jeans and whatnot...

Hey guys, can someone help me out?

 

I made a mistake on my DS-160 and need to create a new one since I already submitted it and scheduled my interview and paid the fees.

 

My question is, can I update the DS-160 number on the scheduler (https://ais.usvisa-info.com) without needing to reschedule my interview appointment?

 

Thanks for any help.

After you submitted it and scheduled the interview you can't change it anymore. I guess any corrections you'll have to ask the consulate.

Are you sure about this or are you assuming that to be the case?

 

I'm just asking bc when looking around the internet I have seen people say that when you make a mistake that you should fill out a new ds-160 and take both copies to you to the interview.

You have to contact the consulate for them to open up your ds160 so you can make changes. It happened to me and that’s what I had to do

I'm on a Brazilian K1 Visa group on Facebook where many people who have made mistakes on their DS were told to just fill out a new DS and bring both to the interview, and explain to them what happened. They haven't had any trouble for doing that

Hey guys! I know that there were questions earlier on in this group of the layout/times of when the visa arrived after the interview. This was ours:

10/1/18- visa interview

10/4/18- visa issued

10/15/18- visa arrived at the house

My fiance lives in the northeast so it took a bit longer than others. Also the Brazilian holiday impacted the timing as well.

 

Hope this helps!

Has anyone received an actual email

from the consulate stating they have received your case and it’s ready for processing?  Do some people get them

and some don’t ?

I got my email today!

Packet 3 received October 15. 

NVC notified us of receipt on September 18.

Good thing we knew what would be in the email and have gathered the documentation, that took almost a month to receive!

I called CASV twice today and asked if I could update the DS-160 number in case I had to fill in another one and both ladies told me that for me to do that, that I would have to cancel my appointment and reschedule. And since my interview is on the 6th and there are no more appointments available and since my fiance already booked her ticket here. That wont be an alternative lol

 

So I asked them if I could simply just just fill out a new ds-160 and take it with me and inform them I made a mistake and present the correct one. They both told me that I can BUT that it's not guaranteed. But they both sounded like they were not from Brazil so maybe they aren't sure about that option?

 

@gkzrl, can you share with me the link to that Facebook group?

As I said, I had to fix something on my ds160 and I just sent an email to the consulate explaining what I did wrong and within 2 days they opened the form up, I fixed it and it was all set.

I've never heard of a form being re-opened and editable after submission. Did they simply just inform you that you could log onto the ceac website and edit it?

 

And when you went on what happened? Did you retrieve it or something like that?

That is what I said in your other post. Bring the information to your interview and have the CO update it. It's simple. Has no affect on your visa. They are glad to do it. I hate for you to go and do all this work when there is a simple solution right there in front of you.
