| Embassy Review : |
The process was very easy. We arrived at about 6:30. Our interview was scheduled for 7:15am. There were not many people waiting in line when we got there, but as the time got closer to 7 more people arrived. At around 7 a couple of the workers came to verify that each person was on the list for an interview that day and to give us a piece of paper that basically had the same information printed 3 times that we would need to fill out and that they would cut off and attach to various papers throughout the process.
When we got inside they gave us a list of the documents needed and the order that they needed to be in. We were the called one by one to a table in the back where they verified that we had all of the documents. Once that was completed we waited until we were called to one of the windows where they verified the documents again and combined them with our I-129F petition.
We the waited again until we were called for the interview. They asked my fiancé if he wanted to speak in English or Portuguese and if I spoke Portuguese. I said that I speak very little Portuguese and he opted to have the interview in Portuguese.
They asked how we met, how the relationship progressed, where we would live, when we were going to be married and if he had studied English in some course. Very basic questions.
Our medical exam document had not arrived yet, but they said the visa was approved and that they needed to wait for the medical papers in order to verify everything was good and to continue the process of creating the visa and sending to us.
The whole process was over for us by 9:30 including going next door to pay for the Sedex to send the visa to us. The cost of this was about R$42. |

*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.
