Maybe one of you can help me with these issues then. I'm running out of time in case there's a problem and I have to resubmit, so I confess I'm a tad nervous.

Two (2) receipt pages from VISA APPLICATION FORM per applicant, properly and completely filled in and signed by the applicant;
Only one page was generated by the form... and it's not a standard US page size... should I use legal paper?

What is the other page they request?? Should I print the same page twice?

Two recent passport-size photos, front view, full face, either in color or black and white, with a light background (snapshots are not accepted)
Affix your picture to the receipt and sign it.
Affix two photos or one? If two, both together? Or (if the answer above is print the same sheet twice) one on each page? (That's what I'm guessing.)


Where on the sheet? The upper box seems right but it's not the right size and shape for a 2x2 passport photo. It *is* the right size and shape for the photo which has been scanned and printed in your passport. But I don't dare trim it...do they do this? And if so, is the advice upthread to glue the photo incorrect? I saw on CC someone saying their application was rejected because they had stapled their photos. How should it be affixed??

SIGNATURE OF APPLICANT
Should the signature be placed in the lower box or on the line below? I'm presuming the line below (NOMO DO CONTATO) is for one's own name to be printed, is that correct?

THANK YOU to whomever said you have to sign all three of your names.
I never do that so I definitely would have been caught by that.

Visa fee, payable in US Postal Money Order only, as applicable (SEE VISA FEES TABLE); A non-refundable handling fee of US$20.00 per visa applies to visa applications submitted by mail or by any individual other than the applicant or an immediate member of his or her family;
Two money orders or one with both amounts combined? (I assume it doesn't matter.)

Any application that shows “self-employed” or “unemployed” must be complemented with a current “Balance Account Bank Statement” with applicant’s name and address;
I am technically self-employed. How much money do they want to see? I read somewhere that you can obscure your account number for safety--is this correct??

CONTACT IN BRAZIL
LENGTH OF STAY
What if I'm only visiting by boat, and have no contact in Brazil?

Any help appreciated and I apologise for the length of this post.
