The whole process probably took less than 30 min. I was able to cut a long line because I was under a k1 visa. At the cabin, the officer asked when and how I met my fiancée, as well as how much money I was bringing. He then directed me to a separated room, where I believe, they were analyzing my visa package. After about 10 minutes, they said I was good to go and had 90 days to get married. | 2023-06-06 | |||

It can save you quite a bit of money. - The medical exam in Sao Paulo was quick and easy. Most of the time I was alone in the room waiting for the doctor to finish completing my form and come into the room. He performed a basic physical examination and was very helpful explaining what exams I would do next and all about the process. They provide a copy of your vaccination records that we need for filing AOS later on. - At the Consulate, they did ask for my petitioner's biographical passport page copy, which is not listed in the instructions. Also, I had no issues with a scanned version of the I-134f (no wet signature). They did not ask me for any other proof of relationship or anything like that, but I did see someone being asked exactly that. - I did not wait for the email from the Consulate before paying the fee and scheduling my Interview. As soon as it got the Ready status in the CEAC website, I booked it, and it was already booked all the way through the first week of February (booked in late December). - There is no Packet 3 or 4 for Brazil. The Consulate will send you an email with instructions and that's it. - My interview was in Portuguese. The CO didn't even ask me about what language we communicated in or anything, but I did see a lot of people being asked that question and being interviewed in English. I don't know what criteria they use for that. - I chose to pick up the visa at one of their Centers (CASV). Although I picked it up on the 26th, it actually got ready for pickup on the 20th. A good option if you live close to one, as it seems to be faster. | 2024-04-09 | ||
