SP CONSUL! I GOT MY VISA APPROVED!

Hello Guys!

I'm here frenetically about my first year as an Au Pair!

Yesterday, 04/AGO, I went to Sao Paulo consulate of USA and I passed for many steps till have my conversation with their American Consul.

First, my interview was booked at 10:10 am. I arrived at the consul at 10 am. The first guard asked me to show my Passport, I did and he asked me to follow the stripes till arrive in the main desk which I found another guard, that asked me to show my passport again and asked me to follow till the first queue.

I don't know how much time I needed to wait in that queue, because you can not enter at the consul bringing with you electronics devices and a lot of things described in a green paper that you got when you went till CASV unit.

When I finally arrived in the hall, the woman asked me to show my DS-2019 (I had two, I will tell it late), and my SEVIS fee document that ensures my payment. She checked everything and asked me to go till the Fiscal queue. I need to wait for more a time (I don't know how many), and so I went to a room with the metal detector. I couldn't pass trow that... because of my shoes! So my advice to you is : "Please, don't go with a metal shoes. You will ask to take off your shoes..." . I did that, I took of my shoes and delivered it to the guard man. My stuffs into a box were passed through their machine and I could leave those room and followed the red stripes on the floor. 

When I arrived other main hall, the post woman asked me to show the same documents: DS-2019, SEVIS fee and Passport. I went to a queue called INTAKE. It was my first time taking the USA visa, so I need to do some steps.

I got Intake queue and the woman asked me to take my fingers digits. I did and I was asked to do till Interview queue. I wait a looooooooot of time in that queue. Till finally my turn came!
The woman in the box asked me to pass my passport and DS-2019, anything else!
We had a conversation about my actual job, my family and why I wanted to go to USA, everything in English...

Well, I was good succeeded, so I got my VISA approved! <3

TIP: When you go to the consul, keep calm while you are talking with the American Consul, another advice is: if your conversation is taking soooo long, the consul may expecting anything isn't going right. You need to pass confidence and reality to them. ;)

I wish you guys good look!

I lost myself looking for the CASV spot!

Hello guys!

The CASV days was very busy! I needed to go to two diffetent places and running against the awful traffic on the road.
Sao Paulo is the bigger city in Brazil and we have a lot of car on the street in it.
I was by motorcycle with my stepfather and we needed do run with Waze app because we didn't know the place.

Was very fanny in other hand, but I was fear of take late or do something wrong.

Well but my experience was fine, I arrived in São Paulo early that I thought. I went to Cultural Care at Av. Brig. Luis Antônio, 4.701 – Jardim Paulista, 01401-002 - São Paulo / SP and took my travel kid with Cibele. While we were seeing our documents I saw that my Fly Date was wrong (with the laste date before the second change - I will talk about it late if you guys want) so I said to her that we got a problem and she said me that the right document will be sent to me any way and I will need to walk with those two papers.

Well, I taken all the documents and went to the CASV address: Avenida Jose Maria Whitaker 370 Vila Mariana, Sao Paulo, SP 04057000.

I just walked up to the main hall the guy at the gate took my documents and checked. I climbed the stairs and reached the first floor.

I followed the painted arrows on the floor and the guard woman took my documents and checked against them and send me to another guard man. I took a pic, my digitals and left the spot.

I did all that less then 10 min.

U.U

I called to Cibele to know about my new paper with the consul assign. She asked me to wait till her call. I did it and after 10 min she turn to call me and said that my new paper was avaliable.  So we went back to to the Cultural Care agency.

We got some problems  with the Internet access and the GPS but we could reach the place before she left to the lunch time.


Well, resuming we spent half a day to do everything but now I have all that I need to be in peace and go to my consul interview on the Friday in the morning.

Guys, wish me luck!

For those step you need to bring with you :
