Consulate Review: Rio de Janeiro, Brazil

| Embassy Review : |
  
My interview experience was very good. After so many months of stress, I feel the need of to say to all people that are going to the interview (in Rio de Janeiro) that nobody there in the consulate wants to keep you away from your loved one. The opposite...they are there to make it happen. Just make sure you have all they request and it will be quite smooth.
I went to Rio de Janeiro the day before my interview, because need to be there about 07:45am. My Hotel OK, was ok. I pay $60 with a good breakfest(summer is more expensive), the walking is about 5 to 10 minutes until the embassy. I went alone. So, before I used google maps to know my steps there.
I arrive there my 07:30 and there was about 6 people in this line for imigrants (some with the loved ones, some with mother, or sister or friend, they can go inside with you, for to talk with the consul just the fiance/fiancee can go together, but have a room with tv, magazines, and water and some toys for the kids too  . I believe that that morning was about 12 people in this line. The other, for tourist was looong line, about 50 people there...
Well, they ask us to go in about my 08:30, then they see your bags and keep the cell phone and eletronics there...so, we go to one floor up and there is the room with tv, water and magazines...so, the person who is near the door give to me two paper (one is for to write and adress where you are in Rio, and your cell phone in case they need to contact you that day; other is the list for you to put all the paper in the right arrangement)..so you wait and the person will call name by name to check this. So, in this moment, he told that my picture was not good enough, I have no big ears but they wanted to see more anyways...so, I let my paper in a chair near him, and wait to take the picture near the consulate (very fast, 10 reais). So went back and give the documents for the person and he say for to go inside of one cabinet with my papers, there was another person that basically did the same that the other man, check all the documents but this time they keep it..and give an password...so..I went out and wait for to talk with the consul...that moment was difficult...long wait, is the time that they process all our informations...they didn´t call number by number (I believe that they call the process that is ready first) so, the consul call my number it was about my 11...and I went inside of this cabinet, where have a glass separating me from the consul. So, I was quite exhausted with the wait and stress...and she was very suave. The first thing she ask was for me to give my fingerprints, and she spoke in portuguese...after this, she ask me for to put my right hand up for the swearing..and after this she ask me for to sign some papers and then just keep checking all my forms and sponsor papers, while asking me about me and jeff...our plans, our history...this was very nice moment and then she said: congratulations Alessandra, your visa was granted. Have a nice trip and a good new life there with Jeffrey.
ahhh the best moment since the start of this process...(I talk with the consul for about 10 minutes, not more...but who is outside yet, thinks is an eternity)
Some women that was there was needing to go back home, and send by mail some documents that was not correct (one was the police certificate and other was the sponsor $numbers...) so they don´t need another interview...just to send this papers and then they will receive the visa in home too.
The consulated say for us to pay for the mail service, no option to wait 2 days and take the visa there anymore. I am still waiting my packet arrive here with the visa, passport and the selead brown envelope for to give to the officers in USA when I arrive there), but I already receive last friday one email from the consulate that my packet is with the mail company already. So, I will receive this in the next 2 days I think.
that is it for now.
Any question, I am here for to help.
Good luck to everyone!
Ali

*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.
