Scheduling Interview - Is there a deadline for scheduling?

[echootahowrude 0]

We just paid for the visa fee with the Rio de Janeiro consulate in Brazil.  We saw that currently the appointments only going out two extra months (currently to September 2024).  My fiance lives in Fortaleza, so flying with her two children to Rio is required to do the medical exams, biometrics, and interview.  We're just trying to navigate the complexities and expenses of doing a multi week trip to Rio in the autumn to take care of all of those steps.  She is completing a course at the end of September, and her children have school, so we were hoping to schedule the trip to Rio in October.

 

Is there any short term time limit on scheduling the interview?  Can we just wait till August 1st (around another three weeks from this posting) so that the October interview dates open up without any issues?

the only "time limit" is the validity date on youre NOA2.

technically the approval is valid for 4 months. embassies typically automatically extend the validity dates (4 months at a time for up to a year).

if you wont be scheduling the interview until after that validity date, i would suggest contacting the embassy to make sure they will extend your validity date.
