| Comments : |
We actually had a very good experience applying for the K1 visa. Everything was processed quickly, and the consulate in Rio was very efficient. We can only say good things about the process, and we are very happy that everything has gone smoothly for us so far. We hope that the rest of the immigration process - adjustment of status - will go as well. |

Consulate Review: Rio de Janeiro, Brazil

| Embassy Review : |
We had a very good experience with the Consulate in Rio. We found out on April 10 that his interview was scheduled for April 26, and he was able to make his medical exam appointment for April 25. The exam was simple, the doctor was nice (Dr. Joaquim Duarte, I think) and he got his results that day.
We arrived at the Consulate at 8 a.m. and turned in our documents. Then we had to wait until almost 1 p.m. for the interview, which was a little annoying, but a small price to pay. The consul allowed me to attend the interview with him, spoke Portuguese well, and didn't ask us any questions. He reviewed our paperwork, asked us to swear to tell the truth, took my fiance's fingerprints, had him sign the documents he needed to sign in front of an official, and told us to come back in two days to pick up the visa. We went back in two days, and it took about 15 minutes for them to call us and give us his visa and the packet he needed to give the immigration officer in the US. Everyone was polite and the consulate seemed well organized, easy to find, and clean. All in all, we were delighted! |

*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.
