Interview approved!!
We stayed at the Atlantico Business Centro Hotel, which is less than 5 minutes away from the consulate and has a wonderful breakfast with alot of varieties btw.
Arrived around 7 am at the consulate. I advice to get there earlier as possible since the first couple who were the first in line got out aound 9:30. Anyways, they gave us a paper with a number and we were admitted to the consulate around 7:30. We went through the security and up to the 2° floor room, right there we waited until everyone filled out a paper with information about their case (Beneficiary's and petitioner's name, Case #, etc.) and got their documents checked by a member of the consulate. Done that, we had to wait to get called to the window for a review and get my wife's figerprints, also, a few questions were asked:
- "Do you guys live in the same address?";
- "whats the name of your parents?";
- "Who's the co-sponsor?";
For the petitioner:
- "When did you come to Brazil?";
- "What's your date of birth?".
After that they started calling one by one by name for the interview with a 15 minutes gap between each interview. During the interview the consul made some questions while he told my wife to sign the ds-230. So here are the questions:
- "where did you guys met?";
- "When did the petitioner came to Brazil?";
- "Where were you born Humberto(petitioner)?";
- "Who is the co-sponsor? and How do you know him?";
- "Where are you guys going to stay in the US?"
- "Do you guys have pictures? let me see them",;
- "Do you guys have children?";
- "Who is this litle girl at the picture?";
- "Where did you get married?";
- "Why you didnt fill out income taxes in US?", so I answered that I was here in Brazil to finish college and had no income, so he asked to what college I went to and when did I graduated and we were approved! It was a very smooth interview even though he made alot of questions, it seems that it was a 5 minutes interview. After that we were instructed to go pay for the FEDEX fee at the post office, which is right next of the consulate. We got out of the consulate at 1:15 pm. We took around 6 hours in the whole process. SO JUST A REMINDER GET THERE EARLY. Atfer that we went to relax at the beach!
I would like to thank everyone for the help that was given to us!
The journey is long but at the end its worth it, so dont you ever think on giving up!
