After Getting the NVC number (Brazil)

[Barbara37 1]

Hello! I just got my NVC number yesterday and I'm wondering if it's ok to scheduele the interview already or should I wait until the process is at the Braziliam embassy? From what I heard it takes a while to scheduele at the Rio de Janeiro Embassy so I'm just trying to make the process a little faster. Anyone have a recent input on this?

I would just verify that it says ready on ceac before you schedule. For the most part, you can sign up for an interview pretty quick. They're typically on Tuesdays.

The attached topic is pretty helpful and up to date. A lot of us have also left consulate reviews and other helpful hints on our timelines.

This one also is even specific too.

As soon as your status is showing Ready on CEAC, you can start filling your DS-160 and submit it, be sure to submit your DS-160 before scheduling your interview date, that's how I did for RDJ, my interview was last month.
