Hi guys!

 

Me and my wife are still waiting (for almost 2 years now) to finally be able to be together. Right now we already have our DQ for the interview in Rio, but the consulate is still closed. 

We read about the the reopening phases a long time ago and we just wanted to know if someone has any news or anything about when it will open again... this whole process is really stressful.


Thanks everyone, stay safe!

Dont expect Rio to open until after Brazil gets covid more under control 

YMMV

I´m in the same boat... My DQ was in May. 

 

Have you tried emailing them? Their website is very vague and without any concrete information about reopening. So I am just patiently waiting. Some days are tougher than other days. Stay strong!

Any news regarding the consulate in Rio de Janeiro. Got my DQ 3 weeks ago.... My lawyer told me that the consulate will open only next year....

I haven't heard any specifics yet and I wonder how your lawyer got this information. But I am not surprised if it is true! I got my DQ in May...

Good luck to us!

You do realize Brazil is still coping with 1000+ deaths a day from COVID-19?  Same as India and USA.

 

I have not seen any news about RJ opening the visa processing center.

The crazy part about this is that embassies in India are open! They are currently much worst than Brazil on their Covid situation but embassies are processing even tourist visas... Doesn't make sense to me

Not according to the Mumbai website.  Consulate remains closed for routine visa processing

It actually is processing some kinds of visas. Including CR1s, the one we are waiting on. But there's nothing we can do but wait, it is just a lot of suffering, it's hard.

CR1s are NOT tourist visas, which was what was being claimed by the other poster.

YMMV

Oh that's true. I didn't read that part. But here they are not processing any kind of visas, as far as I know. We keep checking everyday.
