Awesome.

 

Thank you so much.

 

If you see my timeline, our case was sent to the Rio embassy at the same time, and we got the same Interview date.

 

Unfortunately we still haven't received anything from the consulate. 

 

We hope to hear something either tomorrow or next week.😢.

 

Aww... Since your fiancee is brazilian too, that might be because of Carnaval. The Consulate didn't open until yesterday this week.

 

This is the e-mail that we used for inquiries, if you want to try: immigrationrio@state.gov (for Brazil only, guys! Other countries can probably be found on the respective embassy/consulate website).

 

They take up to 3 business days to respond. Just give them your case number and date of your FTP letter (that e-mail from NVC telling you they have sent it) and ask if they have it already.

Thanks for the details.

 

I had messaged them 2 times already.

 

Last email came in on February 17th 2023.

 

We knew that the Carnaval week was probably going to be a none-action week, but looking at your timeline gave us some hope 😂.

 

I'll wait until Monday and see.

 

Hopefully we hear something by then.

Hi,

 

I am on the CGI website trying to pay for application so I can book an interview date.

 

Does anyone know what Case ID is ? is it USCIS number, NVC number? or something else?

 

I think its the NVC number but want to be sure

Timeline thus far:

 

-Filed on 9/01/2021 and got the receipt for it on the 3rd

-NOA2 on 11/07/2022

-NVC case file created on 1/19/2023

-In Transit on 2/14/2023

-Ready on 2/22/2023

 

My fiance had already created his profile on the embassy portal page so he obviously went to that right away when we saw that the case had changed to "Ready". Unfortunately, it hasn't let him pay the fee or schedule an interview yet. He sent them an email on Thursday so we're hoping to hear back from them soon to see if we need to wait for something specific. More frustration in an already long and frustrating process...

Update:

 

Even though the person at the embassy told my fiance that he wasn't waiting on receiving something from them and that he just had to keep checking the website, he just got an email with instructions. He was told to make a medical exam appointment and then email them back and they would send an interview date soon. He also apparently pays the visa fee on the day of the interview. Gotta love all of the misinformation...

My fiance had his interview today and got approved in about five minutes, apparently. Saturday (the 1st) will be exactly 19 months from when we submitted the I-129.

 

So glad all of that is over!
