The only reason I ask is I've heard you need proof of the p3 email at the interview. We signed up for the interview based on NVC status saying ready, and for the DHL shipping hack. I'd like some confirmation that the consulate has officially received our case. Maybe I'm over thinking all of this. 

 

Regardless, we are prepared. We have all the documents ready that they list in the consulate website.

No i gave interview last 14 may and they do not ask any thing like that. Only that letter they ask in medical   But you need to wait when your case is ready they will send to your email  or your petitioner any of them you updated with nvc

Fiancé had his interview today.  He went by himself. 

 

He said he saw lots of couples getting approved for their visa and lots of people there by themselves getting denied or being told they need more documents.  From the reviews I've read on the consulate in Rio, if the American goes to the interview, more time is spent talking to them than to the Brazilian applicant. He said when he arrived and said he was there for a K-1, the first thing they asked was "Where is your fiancee?"

 

Have to wait for him to get home and email me the request form to find out exactly what they want now.  He said it was a document that wasn't on their website and that he had never heard of.

 

This sucks, y'all.  More money 💸

I'm completely in panic with that comment. I have the interview next day 18, and I'll go by myself. My fiancee US Citizen is working this day and won't be able to come.
If I go alone there, is there more chances to be denied?😣

This is a myth. Going with or without fiancee neither increases nor decreases anyone's chances. Some go with their fiance and end up getting more scrutiny and requests for additional docs, some go alone and get approved after a few basic questions. It will all depend on the totality of each couple's circumstances and on the quality of the evidence submitted with your petition.

I went with my fiancée and they asked me all the questions.  However, there were individuals there alone and all were approved except one who needed additional paperwork

Thank y'all!! I still afraid that something changed after the new directives of this year 😕 Do you know how are the things going this last two months? It would make me really less anxious. The comment saying the people were denied was from the guy who had the interview the last week

Even with the new directives, the Consulate in Rio does not randomly deny visas. In fact, the idea that K1 visas get denied on the spot is a legend. Unlike visitor visas, in which COs can and will deny a visa to anyone that cannot show ties to their country WITHOUT looking at any documents, when we are talking about K1 visas, in the vast majority of non-approval cases the applicant will be put in AP for further processing, or asked to provide more documents. No outright denial unless the case is fraudulent or misrepresentation is detected somewhere.

 

Not to mention that some people simply don't take all the documents on the list... or make mistakes in forms that need to be rectified... or present an i134 that fails to meet the requirements. Of course a visa cannot be approved in any of these cases.

 

If you have a bonafide relationship, answer all questions truthfully and have compiled the docs they ask for, following their instructions, there is no reason to be worried.

So the latest in the saga:

 

Backstory - Fiance had his medical exam in late March or early April at the doctor in Sao Paulo.  Thought everything was taken care of on that point. Bloodwork, X-ray, one vaccine.  Nothing further was said or provided. 

 

Biometrics appointment on April 30.  While he was at the appointment he received a call from the doctor's office:  "We made a mistake. You need three more vaccines." He went and paid to get three more vaccines.  

 

So...

This past Monday, after (finally) getting the additional documents requested by the consulate, and preparing to return to his hometown, the doctor's office calls again:  "We need a copy of the sonogram you had on your liver two years ago."  He says they asked him during his exam if he had ever had health problems and if he had an exam of this type in the past.  He had.  All was normal.  End of questioning.  No mention was made at the time of needing another sonogram or wanting a copy of the old one. 

 

Now, over a month later they want this information to be able to finalize his medical exam.  

 

🤬

 

Nothing in this process is going the way it should.
