My fiance lives in Salvador, Bahia. I have already petitioned for the K-1 visa. Can anyone tell me where she can be issued the visa? Thank you.

I believe only the US embassy in Rio issues the visa. Hopefully someone else will clarify...

I am also pretty sure that all interviews for this type of visa are done at the Consulate in Rio de Janeiro.

I asked the Consulate this question before. They said only Rio does K-1 Visa interviews. We wanted to do it in Brasilia. Anyway, get your bags packed!

My husband had to travel from Manaus...we met up in Rio, not too bad.

That is correct. There is only one US Embassy in any country. The rest are Consulates.

Rio is a consulate, the embasy is in Brasilia

Visas issued and interviews are conducted in Rio.

Hi all, I am not familiar with TNT, but with my wife, it took four days to deliver her visa. I am here in Brazil waiting for my stepdaught's visa and I hope it will be posted today. Is it possible that it can be delivered the next business day in Niteroi, just 13 km from Rio de Janeiro? Someone told me that it is a minimum of two days, but we have a plane ticket on Saturday. The consulate has approved her visa and it was supposedly being sent yesterday but this was not done.

My Stepdaughter's information is not in the timeline.

Hey! We are waiting here in Rio as well for the delivery of the Visa (approved today 2008-Nov-18). You posted 5 days ago. Did you receive it? How many days? We probably will need to pay to change plane tickets, and wondering if Leo will be in the US for Thanksgiving..

Well, I called TNT to expedite it- 35 more reais. Otherwise it can take up to three days. We received it the same night because I called them to expedite. We are in the US now.

What day did you get your ticket for? It will take several business days for the visa to be released from the consulate, and two or three days for TNT to deliver it normally.

You should be ok coming home for Thanksgiving however.
