I just want this before my birthday (Dec. 24) so I can get the DI and drive away!!!! <3

Same one as yours.. Chicago one or Vermont I just know both locations were mentioned. You are on the late train alongside my sister, it'll take a while now. I wish you luck being the lucky few being selected first than the ones who sent it in faster, though!

Yeaa- but it sucks when it takes sooo long to receive the decision...

What is the infopass? is that the interview?

O. Same here. I just pray that even if it comes really late- it's not bad news. I have waited for 8 years. Months won't matter as much.

No that I understand- I was asking why would they be any trouble? I hope "Machado" doesn't stir any problems since there are fewer than 5,000 reported Brazilians who applied.

As it stands the majority are of Mexican descent. I do not understand what you mean by "common last names". Care to shed some light?

I went in on my appointment date- I thought it would be chaos in there seeing as how the Brazilian Consulate is just insane. O well. Hoping it comes before my birthday (Dec. 24) so I can have something else to celebrate (DI) ;D. Also about travelling abroad- Yea I was reading and became very skeptical about the whole thing since the agent, or what the person in the airport gate is called, can stop you from embarking. There are few opportunities in my university to visit France, Russia, Italy, and so on, as an educational experience (I am a language fanatic). The cost is incredibly low (Russia is $500.00 atm, although you do need to bring money for food and souvenirs). Sad life of the illegal immigrant teenager.

Has anyone debated that the people who are being approved in a timely manner are immigrants who overstayed in a visitor's visa? It seems like those who came by the Mexico/U.S. border are taking longer than those who overstayed (Could be horribly wrong).
