by looking at the timelines listed on visajourney, Gisele would have been here about 6 months ago if we had not hired an attorney...who we fired in October! |

Consulate Review: Rio de Janeiro, Brazil

| Embassy Review : |
We arrived at 715am and there was already 4 people in the "K-visa" line. We had all our papers in order thanks to VJ, and were able to to turn our documents in second...We had to wait for about and hour for the interview, which lasted 15 minutes. Our interviewer was Clara, and she was very friendly...laughing with us as we froze (they have good a/c at the consulate!). She asked us both a few questions, basics like where did we meet, what I did for a living, etc, etc. She made sure our visa went through quickly, as we had planned a flight for the following Sunday (ok, I was a little anxious, better to give more time if you don´t want to chance it). We received the packet by Friday.
Do your homework, look at the reviews, read the consulate info page and be prepared...it will help alieve any anxiety. Thank you Visa Journey!!! |

After waiting in the initial line, they sent Gisele and I to another office. They were fast (maybe 5 minutes), and gave her the work approval no problem. They laughed with us, saying I was putting her to work so soon! Very good group of guys, a nice welcome to the USA for Gisele! |

*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.
