greetings Romelle,
thanks very much for the re-direction.
will take a look for sure.
and yes - i am right now in the process of
the final application thru an internet Visa
facilitator & i spoke to a person here locally
(for me) who gave me a good review of prices
& "awareness" attributes for this process.
in her words: "Brazil !!!!!! oh my god! . . . . you
had to pick this country for your 1st Visa experience."

ruh-roh . . . .
but still on course.

thanks for the reply
