| Embassy Review : |
My hubby and I got a bus to Rio on june 28th to Rio at 10:30pm. We arrived there at 4:30am and got a taxi cab to the consulate (R$ 35,00). There was a couple waiting there already. My husband made me ask if it was the right line and we were at the wrong line Lol. That was fine though because it was only 5am :P and I was the first in the line!
at 6:30 some people started to arrive but the line wasnt long for the immigrant visas.
at 7am a girl came to check our photos out and I had to take another one, I was showing my ears and you cant have ear piercings. She gave me a paper to make sure I was the first so I went to a place close to the consulate, took a picture and got back. (a couple people had to take another pic too).
after that, we got into the consulate and the girl asked me to put the documents in order. I brought a copy of all the paperwork and the girl said to put them in order just in case. We waited a little bit and I was called to window 2 and a very nice brazilian guy checked my documents out. all my documents were there and he gave me all the original ones, everything was ok. I was worried because we have a co-sponsor but the guy said we would be ok only with my husband and a co-sponsor wasnt needed. I think he didnt know my hubby is not working anymore though. My husband wasnt allowed to attend with me to this part. I got back to the room and waited about an hour and a half until my number was called on the screen. I was a little nervous! at 9:25 we were finally called and the interview started in portuguese:
Officer: Good morning. (looking at the papers...)
Where did you meet?
Tell me about the relationship?
what will you do in the US?
Where will you live?
Why?
Then I told him because my hubby will study there and he asked where? and if I speak english. Then I asked my husband the name of the school and the officer started speaking english. He told my husband the school that he is going to is awesome and we were approved!!! Really easy! He said I would get my passport in 2 weeks but in 4 days I received it.
I paid 35 reais for the Sedex (an option for mailing) |

*Notice about estimates: The estimates are based off averages of other members recent experiences
(documented in their timelines) for the same benefit/petition/application at the same filing location.
Individual results may vary as every case is not always 'average'. Past performance does not necessarily
predict future results. The 'as early as date' may change over time based on current reported processing
times from members. There have historically been cases where a benefit/petition/application processing
briefly slows down or stops and this can not be predicted. Use these dates as reference only and do not
rely on them for planning. As always you should check the
USCIS processing times to see if your application
is past due.
