Consulate Review: Rio de Janeiro, Brazil Review Topic: IR-1/CR-1 Visa Event Description Review Date : January 26, 2024 Embassy Review : We got to the interview early, around 6:45. We were scheduled around 7:40. Outside of the consulate, there were lots of people mainly tourist visa people. For I-130s' we were sent to a different location. entering the building that had a plaque that said nonimmigrant visa( that's the place they sent us to go, and we just followed where they told us to go.) Once we were in the building, we were checked through security and sent to the second level of the building, where the actual immigration visas were being conducted. They had us organize the papers to turn in and my hubby sam sat in the front row where they called people to turn in the documents. After turning in the documents they confirmed some things about our documents and our relationship(not the actual interview). We waited about another hour to be interview and at this point we spend already 2 hours in the consulate. Around the 4 hour mark sammy was finally called. We only answered 3 questions super simple ones.(to be fair our case was super simple). The confirmed sammys fathers name, they asked me where i was living i told them my US address and told them that i was currently living with sam and had been for 2 yrs and then she asked me what my plan was for going back home. I replied were living with me mom for a bit till we get up on our own 2 feet. she typed for a bit around 5 minutes and finally said it shows here that you've already been approved and she gave us a run down of how we would receive his passport we decided to ship it by mail. Then we left the consulate. 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.
