Home or delivery visa service in Brazil
Brazil is one of the countries in which it’s possible to have your nonimmigrant visa delivered to your home or a designated address.
The courier service will attempt to deliver your visa up to 3 times. In the unfortunate event that they are unable to do so, you will need to make arrangements to pick it up.
The visa can only be released to an adult who will sign delivery documents.

Most applicants must schedule an appointment at the ASC for a digital photo and fingerprints. Only those in Porto Alegre and Recife can complete this part of the visa process at the consulate.
First-time applicants will have to schedule 2 appointments:
- ASC
- Embassy or consulate
Before the interviews, make sure you gather all the necessary documents. They will vary depending on the visa you are applying for.

Visa Waiting Times in Brazil
The estimated wait time for your visa interview will vary depending on the consulate where you are scheduled to have it.
Remember that visa waiting times are tied to the volume of requests. The more visa applications are being processed, the higher the visa waiting time will be.
Tracking the Status of My Visa B1/B2
After the interview, you will immediately know whether your visa has been approved or denied. The consular agent informs you straight away.
If your visa is approved, the embassy or consulate will keep your passport so they can attach it. **Afterwards, they will send it to your selected ASC center for pickup. If you have chosen delivery, it will then be sent to your designated address.
What if my interview was waived? How do I know the status of my visa?
If you have qualified for an interview waiver process, you don’t need to go to the embassy or consulate. That means you will not know the answer to the status of your visa as quickly.
After your documents and passport have been sent to the U.S. Embassy or U.S. Consulate General, your passport will be returned to you within 2 to 4 weeks.
You will have to wait to know the status of your visa.
