Consulate Review: Rio de Janeiro, Brazil
Review Topic: K1 Visa
Event Description
Review Date : July 17, 2019
Embassy Review :
The K1 Visa experience was very positive on 7/16/19. We did make sure that all of our documents were in order per the Packet 3 email links. Passport, Birth Certificate Original AND copy, Police Reports, Medical Sealed Envelope, I134 form. And the Sworn Statement. We were asked these questions: How did you meet? When did you meet? When did the relationship start? How many times have you met in person since you met originally? Then she said... Thank you for providing the other documents. We have what we need to make a decision and your Visa is Approved. It was probably a 5 minute discussion. What took longer was working with one person to verify and organize our documents in a way that they wanted to review them. Then there was another guy that re organized them to verify them a second time and then he placed the documents in another folder. All was very smooth and fast. We left my phone at a Key Stand Alone Stand in the alley of the Consulate and payed him R$30 to place them in a bag and hold it until we got out of the Consulate building. No electronics are allowed inside the building.

The Consulate is located in the city central which from my opinion is not a good area. We stayed at Praia Ipanema which was walking distance to all medical appointments and very safe. We never felt uncomfortable and was able to enjoy being on Ipanema beach. This ended up being a much better experience that we would have had if we would have stayed near the Consulate. Again, the Consulate is in a sketchy area.
Rating : Very Good

Olá .. gostaria de saber se a estimativa de data do visajourney para o Noa2 foi parecida com a data de recebimento do mesmo. Obrigada
Mwkaasj on 2019-04-07 said:
Franco, the actual approval date was 10 days earlier than the start of the range Visa Journey provided. The original estimate was: 4/15-4/22. Much luck to you!!
Mwkaasj on 2019-04-07 said:
Actual date of NOA2: 4/5/19
Franco E Klyvia on 2019-04-07 said:
Obrigada pelo retorno 😊 Sorte pra nós !

Mwkaasj on 2019-04-07 said:
Franco, from my analysis, add 98 days to your NOA2 date to estimate your Actual Interview Date.
Mwkaasj on 2019-04-07 said:
The range is from 89 days to 109 days with an average of 98 days to get from the NOA2 date to the actual interview date.
Mwkaasj on 2019-04-07 said:
I understand that it takes about 10 days for the Consulate to mail the Visa back to you after your interview. Also, the petitioner can be with the beneficiary during the interview in Rio.
Franco E Klyvia on 2019-04-07 said:
Eu ainda estou na espera do meu Noa2, na ansiedade de que saia até maio, n sei se chegou a olhar minha timeline, mas o Visa journey me deu uma estimativa de que saia entre 2 a 9 de maio.
Franco E Klyvia on 2019-04-07 said:

Mwkaasj on 2019-04-21 said:
Note: Your Petition # is entered into the DS160 application and your NVC case number is used to pay Consulate Fees and Schedule your interview at https://ais.usvisa-info.com/en-br/iv
Mwkaasj on 2019-04-22 said:
We have submitted the DS160 before receiving the Case number from the NVC. The system allows you to do that. However, we can’t submit fees and schedule an interview until we receive the NVC case number. Tomorrow, we are going to start calling the NVC to see if we can retrieve the NVC case number if one has been issued.
Diego Nunes on 2019-04-25 said:
Hi did you get your case number from NVC calling them.
Mwkaasj on 2019-04-25 said:
Yes... I have been calling every day. The number I’m calling is: (603) 334-0700
Mwkaasj on 2019-04-25 said:
Original Petition number goes on the DS160 NVC Case number goes on the Brazil payment and Interview scheduling website.

We are in Rio getting ready for our interview on 7/16. We are staying at Praia Ipanema Hotel on the beach of Ipanema. We walked to the medical offices for all medical requirements and had a great experience. Great area and we have always felt very safe. Uber has worked very well and all drivers / cars were nice. So far, a great experience with everything.

Hi, I was wondering how long it took to get the visa issued. I won't choose to have it shipped, I'll collect by myself.
Mwkaasj on 2019-11-22 said:
It took us exactly 1 week to receive it from tue courier.

*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.
