Bias against Brazillians

[bartonr3 0]

Does anyone else feel like there is a bias against Brazillians? I see Canadians being approved quickly and Brazillians waiting forever. I am soooooo frustrated with the Vermont center!

I haven't been following the service centers lately, but typically there is no bias regarding country of origin at the service centers. Different embassies work differently and that can be unfair.

I don't think there's a bias against anyone... I do believe it is easier & possibly faster for Canadians, but I don't think it's any slower for Brazilians than for the rest of us... we've all been waiting for what seems like an eternity Best wishes & I hope a speedy approval for you... as for me, we've been waiting for our NOA2 since April 27 thru the California Center... but we know our day will come... eventually

Are you serious?????

Try being married to a Nigerian from a Muslim country.

The problem is Vermont, not being Brazilian.

I know you're new and probably don't realize this.

Do you have ANY IDEA how many times threads like this have been started on VJ? Assuming some kind of bias based on nationality?

In before the lock. And I have to agree with the other poster who said try being Nigerian or from a Muslim country.

Disclaimer: My wife is Canadian but I have been on VJ for quite a while

Never mind him. His fiancee is almost here. He has become deranged lately.

It takes whatever time it takes. The I-129F is almost automatic. The fun begins come embassey time.

yes they intentionally slow down brazilian applications, the usa can only handle so many hot women arriving on a k visa.

Yeah, seriously. You have no problems whatsoever!!! There are countries that have to go through a lot of extra steps (like additional security checks and whatnot) like man countries in the middle east, but Brazil is NOT one of those countries.

And like others have pointed out there is no bias whatsoever at the service centers in the US, but once your application gets to the embassy in the home country of your fiance (in this case Brazil) then it might be slower there than if he/she was Canadian. BUT, and this is key here, this is not because they are Brazilian and not Canadian, it is because there is a different set of staff working at the Brazilian embassy than at the Canadian one and that's just how things go.

Seriously, you applied through Vermont (because you had too) and that's just how things work. Some applications get put in one box and others in another box (not based on country) and it's the luck of the draw when those boxes are picked up! You are WITHIN RANGE. You wont get sympathy on here for complaining until you are out of range...and you definitely wont get sympathy because you think *Brazilians* have to wait longer than others!!

Too funny. Hey, as an American woman I think all hot foreign ladies should be slowed down. Make me look better
