Arrived at the consulate in Rio de Janeiro at 6:40 AM and was the 2nd in line for the “K1”. The line was made by the Santa Luzia Street (the short side of the consulate), while at the same time a larger line started to form on the other side, by Mexico Street for the tourists applicants. Around 7:10 AM a lady wearing a green vest (specific for the K1 applicants) came, and asked us to hand out the passport, case number and pictures. She checked while outside the pictures of everyone and gave us a number (also this same lady speaks Portuguese and English). Around 7:25 AM (10 minutes late of the time listed in Packet 4 schedule) we were asked to enter the consulate, go through the security, leave our cell phones with the security, a simple paper with our names, address, phone, and phone model.
Heading to the second floor, the same lady gave us 2 papers, the first one to fill out our case number, name, address, phone number, petitioner address and phone number. The seco... read complete review

Well, the people at the consulate were very friendly in general. The girl that first checked the documents was very kind.
First this girl asks you to put the documents in a determined order, then you need to give the documents to these people (Brazilians) in cabines. The guy asked why the Tax Return of my Fiance was missing, and I said that the avidafit support instructions specified the Tax Return to Self-employed people, not to people with permanent jobs (my Fiance works for Accenture). He said it was WRONG, and that the consul would check if the finnacial proves were good enough...
This guy wasn't exactly rude, but I think it was very funny that he said what I mentioned was WRONG, because first it is in the instructions we got from the consulate (I read it again later to check), and second 4 other girls I talked to said their Fiances did the same thing, no Tax Return.
Anyway, that wasn't WRONG or a problem after all. After we got fingerprinted, the consul calle... read complete review

Important for those American Citizens awaiting a Security Clearance - Engaged to a Foriegn National
Yesterday, July 27th 2010
We arrived at the Consulate at 610 am. There was a line with about 5 women in front of us. Everyone was very nervous, including myself, Me and my fiancee awaited the assistance of the workers (consulate ambassadors) whom wore vests that said "Immigration Services, May I help you?" on the back. The workers came outside and handed us a small ticket that would accompany our cell-phones which we left at the entry point. When we left we needed to provide them with the first part of the ticket for verification to receive our cell-phones when we left the consulate. At about 715 exactly we entered the building and walked upstairs to the second floor where we entered a room that was to be our waiting place for checking of our documents (2x) and then finally the actual interview which was in a small room that was also inside the same sitting ... read complete review

Interview scheduled for 7:15 am.
Awoke this morning with excitement yet the wife was beyond nervous, for it has been almost a year wait. Off to the vehicle we go, and ohhhh no,its a sunny day yet linha vermello is at a standstill, and im not talking the usual brazil traffic,i mean a parking lot. As i watch the clock tick,tick tock my nervousness begins to set it, 6:45,7:00;7:15 and we have moved about 100 feet it feels, time to put the nyc driving into effect, down the on ramp we go,breaking all traffic rules (like they exist in brasil) arrive at avenue brasil and yet more traffic at least its moving 7:45 and still in traffic. Finally arrive park the car,skip the line and enter the building its now 8:35, from here everthing goes silky smooth. All required documents have already been submitted,received and accepted, only had to do the photo again,something with the hair not pulled back(small issue,went to post office same block).
9:45 we are called, only a document check,... read complete review
