American Visa For Brazil
If you are one of the Brazilians who wish to travel abroad to the United States of America, then this information is specifically for you. Getting a US visa is not at all easy and thus requires a lot of patience and hard work. That said, if your passport has a visa stamped in it that is restricting your movements, now might be the time that you can make a choice as to whether or not it’s going to stay there or if you’re going to take action in order to get rid of it – and hence have your freedom back.
Visa policy and procedures for getting a visa for the United States are extremely complex. The consular officer needs to determine quickly whether the individual is qualified to receive the requested visa. Complexity, governmental agency requirements, multiple types of visas and extremely limited information in Brazil about the U.S. visa policy can make this process challenging. By understanding how to apply, who qualifies and what the qualifying requirements are, the process becomes much less intimidating.
Over the past few years, Brazil has become the third largest recipient of U.S. immigrants with 350,000 naturalizations in the last 12 months alone. The reasons for immigration are numerous, including jobs, education and health care. This article seeks to help people who are interested in immigrating to the United States from Brazil understand the requirements and steps necessary to do so as well as information on different visa options that may be available to them.

How to know if I’m Brazilian?
If you were born in Brazil, you’re a Brazilian citizen. Exceptions: children whose none of the parents is a Brazilian citizen and whose at least one parent was a foreign diplomat or other foreign government official working at their country’s embassy or diplomatic mission in Brazil when you were born.
If you’ve had a Brazilian birth certificate issued at a Brazilian consulate, embassy or at a cartório in Brazil, you are a Brazilian citizen. If you were born outside Brazil and your Brazilian birth certificate says your Brazilian nationality would cease after you turned 18, 22 or 25 years of age, please email us and send us a scanned copy of your birth certificate so we can tell you if you should apply for a visa or a Brazilian passport: visa.miami@itamaraty.gov.br.
