Does anyone know what are the red flags?

I don't know what the red flags are, but it appears to be more common now for (at least) one IO in particular to "pre-approve" cases pending the appearance of the american fiance for antoher interview sometime in the future. In some cases it is up to 2 months later. Thank goodness we didn't have to go through that as I was unable to get off of work to go to the interview. From talking with some other Brasil members here on VJ, it sounds like it is primarily one interviewer that is insisting on that. You can look at this profile. They recently had an interview with that interviewer. Stefane wrote about her experiences there.

Wow! It seems like Rio is becoming more difficult! I believe someone recently said some of the rules have changed there. If that is the case, they need to update the instructions. I would guess that the usual red flags apply...previous marriages, big age difference, missing documents, lack of time together, etc. Of course that is just my opinion. Every case is different.

This my friend who saw the groom was rescheduled three times, but people who had already passed since the boyfriend once, does not make sense!
