Tourist Visa granted then withdrawn

[Irme60 0]

My brother, who is coming from Brazil to visit me, applied for a tourist visa in one of the Brazilian consulates. Two or three days after having been granted the visa, he received an e-mail indicating there was a problem with his fingerprints and that to solve that problem it would take days, weeks, months or even years. They say that his case is in administrative analysis. Has anyone out there gone through a similar situation? Please help. We are waiting and waiting for a response and nothing happens.

Just a clarification your brother was never granted a tourist visa in first place.

The accepted his application and would be most likely granted the Visa upon completion of the Administrative Process.

Administrative process is very common they put individual thru the process to validate the application is correctly stating all the facts and run the background check.
