I have spoke to people here (Chicago consulate) and my fiancee has spoken to people in Brazil but sometimes the answers are different. I am looking for someone who can help me understand what I need to do to get married in Brazil. Thanks

My experience is not with the Brazilian Consulate but the Peru Consulate. But I believe my statement below still applies:

I have delt with the "Peru" Chicago Consulate on a few occassions and the best advice I can give you is to not believe anything they say as gospel. They have given us wrong information twice. Trust only the consulate in the beneficiaries country!

Just my two cents...
