Friends, on the day my Brazilian wife and 2 kids went for the interview in Rio de Janeiro, the consulate had still not received one of children's (a 12 year old) exams due to a lab delay. Interestingly, right on the following day, the passport/visa of the mother and the other child were ready to be mailed (got them 2 days later). The problem is that, almost a month later, we're still waiting for that 12 yo child's visa to be processed. The consulate told us that now they have the exam that was missing, but still no action. I have emailed the Consulate but they won't give us any more than saying they're "processing as effectively as possible". Is that normal? Do you have any experience to share on that? Do you know if they have to wait until a medical expert look at the exam? Please share your thoughts. Thanks. Joe

Troy, your timeframe above was helpful. My wife is DQ'ed since 2 weeks ago. In your case, how long did it pass between DQ and when the interview date was given? Thanks. Joe

Friends, Do you have any experience with the US embassy in Rio de Janeiro? I wonder if a good soul could answer the following question: 😊 My wife is brazilian and I am petitioning for a spouse visa for her. She was notified she is Documentarily Qualified 3 weeks ago. Approximately how long is the wait between DQ notification and when you were informed of your interview date in Rio? Also, once you get the interview date in Rio, how far is it into the future? is it weeks, months, how long? Eu falo Português também. Por favor compartilhe a sua experiencia. Obrigado antecipadamente. Thank you so much. Joe
