Rio de Janeiro, Brazil | Review on September 4, 2024: | Joe and Alice
Rating: | Review Topic: IR-1/CR-1 Visa
Timeline of my case at the consulate:
DQ (Documentarily Qualified): August 1, 2024
Expedite request due to medical reasons submitted: August 2, 2024
Expedite approved by Rio de Janeiro consulate: August 6, 2024
Access to the website for interview scheduling: August 7, 2024
Interview scheduled by my advisory for: September 23, 2024
Expedite request for an earlier date due to medical reasons: August 11, 2024
Interview rescheduled to: August 28, 2024 (originally scheduled for 9:00 a.m., but I was only attended at 11:30 a.m.)
The consular officer asked me four questions, was very friendly, wished me a safe trip, and handed me the white paper indicating I was approved.
On August 28, my case entered "administrative processing," which is a standard procedure for visa issuance when no further evidence or 221(g) is requested.
After a weekend and a holiday, the case remained in administrative processing for six days.
On September 3, my case status changed to "issued," meaning my visa has been approved and will be ready for pickup at the CASV in a few days. Since I live in Rio de Janeiro, it’s more convenient for me to collect it there.
I will be immigrating within the next few days as soon as I receive my passport.
My process was handled by Visa Elite, with Lu Hall (CEO) overseeing my case.
