Consulate Review: Rio de Janeiro, Brazil Review Topic: IR-1/CR-1 Visa Event Description Review Date : January 12, 2015 Embassy Review : My interview was scheduled for 9:20am. I took the metro to Cinelandia station and it was such a small walk to the consulate. I got at the immigrant visa line at 8:30am and I was the 4th in line. At 9am the smiley and friendly Alex checked our names and took us inside. He gave all the instructions to fill the form. I was the first one to finish and Alex set my papers. Some minutes later I was called in a cabin to have my fingerprints taken and all the documents asked. The consular assistant asked for my husband and I said he couldn't be there due to work, and he said it's ok. I went back to wait for my interview. 10min later a man called my name and I got there. First he made me say the jurament about telling only the truth. He started speaking in Portuguese asking where I met my husband. I asked if I could speak in English and he said it was ok. The questions were: -where did you meet? -when? -did you start dating since then? -who proposed who? -is he living in Brazil with you? And then he said "your visa is approved!!! " I went to the mailing office to pay the fee to have my passport delivered and went back to give the paper. It was an easy friendly environment and a great positive experience. I left the consulate at 10:20am. Rating : Very Good

*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.
