Consulate Review: Rio de Janeiro, Brazil Review Topic: IR-1/CR-1 Visa Event Description Review Date : April 6, 2023 Embassy Review : Arrived at consulate at 6:45, interview was scheduled for 7:20 . Got in at 7 went to the second floor and a lady check my documents ask to put in order following the list that they provided, waited for 20 minutes and was called to a window for a second check of docs. After she asked me to seat down then I would be called by my name to be interviewed by the consul . Waited for an hour and I was the first one to be called, did the oath and then consular asked: Have you ever been in US? Have you been arrested before? Have any problem with the police? Have you or your wife been married before? How many kids do you have? Did you read the paper about domestic violence? Congratulations your visa is approved bye!! Was a very easy going interview! 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.
