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, back we sit, 11:15 biometrics, 12:00 lunch, 1:30 we are called into the interview.We sit down and the gentlemen asks me how we met, what do i do for living, do we have photos,and one question to her what will she do in the u.s.a. Thats all 10 minutes top, we were approved. In small talk i ask the interviewer was it necessary that i came to the interview,he replied he prefers to see the couple together.Thats all, go downstairs pay the 30 reais for mailing of the visa. A long climb yet we have reached the apex.THANKS TO YOU ALL
