Got an RFE for a new Medical (but K1 one was complete and would only expire in 3 months). Did it anyway and mailed it back in 2 weeks. 8 days later, case was approved. |

Minha entrevista estava marcada para as 9:20. Cheguei as 8:30 no consulado e um dos funcionários (facilmente identificados com uma camisa vermelha) me mandou para uma fila lateral na Rua México esquina com Santa Lúcia. Lá esperei com outras 3 mulheres até 9:00.
As 9, um Funcionário super simpático também de vermelho surgiu lá de dentro e nos chamou para segui-lo. Lá, subimos uma escada e sentamos em frente a uns guichês. Nisso, ele entregou 3 papéis: um dos correios para preencher com os dados de endereço e o RDJ, um com as infos de contato (endereço Brasil e tels, endereço e tels EUA e endereço RJ ou nome do hotel). É bom ter todas essas infos já prontas em um papelzinho. O terceiro papel foi com a ordem dos documentos.
Fui a primeira a preencher e ele me chamou em uma mesa para ajudar a colocar tudo em ordem. Não esquecer de escrever o nome completo atrás da fotografia. Aliás são 2.
Me chamaram no guichê e colheram minhas digitais. Confirmaram alguns dados tipo endereço, trabalho, se já estive nos EUA e me deram um boleto para pagar. Desci a escada, paguei (a funcionária demorou uns 20 minutos para aparecer!!!) e subi novamente. Entreguei o comprovante pro moço de vermelho. Em uns 20 minutos me chamaram para a entrevista, num guichê no fim de um corredor onde fechamos a porta. Fiz o juramento com a mão erguida. Só perguntou coisas básicas; quando se conheceu, quando pessoalmente, desde quando namoram, se meu noivo já veio ao Brasil e como foi o pedido de noivado. Depois ele disse parabéns, visto aprovado. Ele era um oriental muito simpático que ficou digitando minhas respostas. Me mandou ir aos correios (pertinho do consulado, na saída virando a direita e seguindo a rua até o fim) onde eu paguei a taxa de sedex 10 (pode ser o comum tb) e depois voltei lá e entreguei ao moço de camisa vermelha o comprovante. FIM!!!
Dicas: eu não trouxe bebe de colo. Não tragam. Muito quente na rua, não deixam entrar antes da hora e demorou muito pra pagar. Teria sido horrível. Criança pequena ok, pois já ficam em pé. Na sala de espera tem livrinhos, água e uma casinha para brincar. Não tem comida. O meu processo inteiro demorou exatas 2h mas fui a primeira em tudo pois já estava com tudo preparado e na ordem certa. Isso ajuda!!! Lá dentro é friozinho, friorentos levem casaco. TRAGAM CANETA! |

I went directly to the "non residents" general line, waited for about an hour, and then in the middle of the line, there was an officer pre checking everyone's passports and comparing their pictures with their actual faces. When my turn was there, he got my passport and upon seeing my K1 visa, told me to go to the "tripod area". It might be a good idea to identify yourself as a K1 visa holder and ask where the tripod area is, to save some time. An officer then escorted me to the tripod area, where there were about 4 other people waiting. She took my passport and my brown envelope and put it in a clear folder, behind other many folders. It looked like i would have to wait for a long time. After an hour, an officer who was passing by looked at me and realized I was with a baby, so he put my file forward and I was next in line. The officer then took my fingerprints and my picture, and kept typing, making copies of documents and passport pages and all that. He asked me what I intended to do now (get married in 90 days is the right answer) and if my fiance was with me (no, he was picking me up). He told me I could not leave the country before the process was done unless I got an AP (which I already knew of course, thanks VJ!) and sent me my way. Did not welcome me to America. The whole thing was ok-ish, I have been treated worse. He did not ask me much but it took a long time and it just seemed like he was in a bad mood. Just be polite, look for the tripod area and answer everything with a "yes sir" and "no sir", wait for your turn, don't be nervous and don't worry if there is a connection. Even if you miss it, they will put you on the next flight available for free. Good luck everyone  |

*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.
