No problems with POE at Orlando. No questions other than if I (USC) could speak Portuguese. I said, yes, I can speak some Portuguese. The only gave J the admonishment of "you have to get married within 90 days or return to Brazil". Only took about 20 minutes waiting in a room after J's fingerprints and picture were taken. |

| Embassy Review : |
Our interview result was APPROVED, however the experience was not so enjoyable. Our advice is to bring only the documents asked for in the instructions provided on the consulate website. Bringing additional documents just makes it confusing. In our case, my fiancee applicant had to go back by herself and submit the documents and it made it difficult for her since I had prepared everything and we had more evidence and documentation than was necessary. Another piece of advice is that if you have no children there is no reason to come early as all the applicants with children are allowed inside first and this puts you near the back of the line regardless of when you showed up. Actually, this is a nice thing for the applicants with children. Also, wear light clothes as the room where you will wait is very crowded with applicants for tourist visas and the temperature was very uncomfortable. The interview itself was good as the interviewer used both Portuguese and English. We were asked the names of my children, their ages, where we will live. Then they said we were approved. The entire process took from 7:15AM until 11:30 AM, but almost all the time is spent waiting. |

*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.
