Many of our answers are predicated on the information you supply in your profile. When we look at the left column and can't determine your timeline or your Embassy it's hard for us to give you a factual answer. If you look at the profile of others here, they have a flag for their country, so it makes it easy for us to reply as we can quickly determine your Embassy. Our answers will sometimes be tailored to a specific Embassy hence the reason for you to complete your profile.

 

So, if you could help yourself out and complete your profile that sure would help us out when we want to reply to your question with factual information.

 

Go to the top right of this page select your name (it's on the upper right hand corner)>my profile>[below your picture on the right column] edit my profile. Scroll to the bottom and fill in "Immigration Info". There now we can better serve you.

15 days after your NOA2 you can call to NVC and ask for your case number! with the case number you can be checking the status of your case. once your case says "in transit" you will be able to schedule the interview!

Thank you for the info! So the question is even though i can schedule the interview when it is in transit, is it safe to do so? (as far as scheduling and then buying plane tickets ect.) Or is it better to wait till i receive the "email" from the rio consulate?

I did mine yesterday and it required a photo.  

I’m thinking certain countries aren’t requiring it.  Others have said it didn’t require one when they completed

My NOA2 date is August 20th so the calls begin to NVC on September 4th  Also when do we fill out the DS-160? Is it after we get the number from NVC? Is the medical scheduled right after we get the number or can we schedule that already?

DS160 can be filed anytime but some Embassy's require different procedures. See your Embassy's P3 below. Same with medical.

There are experts over in the sub -forum for your country located here http://www.visajourney.com/forums/forum/99-united-kingdom/ where others from your country are processing or they are there after they have finished with everything and can guide you on their experience. A TON of information and help there.
 

Once you receive case number:

First of all, if you haven’t already done so, make sure you complete your DS-160 and request your police certificate.  Now that you have your case number, you can call Knightsbridge to schedule your medical exam.  You’ll need to give them your case number when you schedule your appointment.  Once you have your exam scheduled, DS-160 completed and have everything else that you need for your interview, complete the Notification of Applicant Readiness Form and when your NVC case status changes to “In-transit” you can go to https://ais.usvisa-info.com/en-gb/iv to create an account and schedule an interview.  Make sure that you allow at least 5 working days between the date of your medical exam and the date of your interview or risk the results from the exam not arriving in time.  For your interview go here https://ais.usvisa-info.com/en-gb/iv/  or call here 442074867822

The DS 160 is not country specific. Ppl are saying that it's not taking pictures are say that try and it fails the just move. I'm of the school of mind that you attempt to upload a picture by changing your broswer for a different result. You just may have problems at the interview.

From what i heard, you can schedule and you should receive the "email" from Rio before the interview date because usually the next available interview date is one month out. they explained that in the forum where you wrote also!

That's a blanket answer and ALL Embassy can be different for their requirements. Here is what you need for Brazil. 

 

You should become familiar with your country's sub-forum here on VJ to get a better understanding of the process for the Embassy that you will be interviewing with. This will allow you to get direct answers from those who have completed the steps you are about to take at the US Embassy - Brazil.  Sub-forum for Brazil is located here: http://www.visajourney.com/forums/forum/96-mexico-latin-south-america/

This is the Packet 3 (P3) letter from your Embassy.

There is a lot of information on the Embassy for Brazil here https://br.usembassy.gov/visas/frequently-asked-questions-non-immigrant-visas/

That's not necessarily true for some Embassy's. Be careful presenting information till you are certain it pertains to a process. Providing links not only reinforces your knowledge but helps the recipient understand the subject matter.

Checking on your embassy case number from NVC:
It will take 7 - 10 business days for NVC to receive your file from USCIS after you receive the NOA2, then another 2 - 5 business days for NVC to get your file in there system and produce your case number.  Call 7:00 am eastern time for shorter wait times.

1-603-334-0700 or 603-334-0888. Operator assistance is available Monday through Friday from 7:00 AM to 12:00 AM (Eastern Time)

1 for English, then 7 (or 5, but I would go 7 as they would tell you if you should call 5 instead after they receive your case.)

Best time to call: 
Right after they open around 7:00am US Eastern Time, Mon-Fri. I was always able to have the phone answered after the first ring if I called right at 7am.
