Anyone with any experience here?

Thanks!
All you need to do is present a passport that does not require a visa when you check in for your flight and present that passport to Brazilian immigration. DO NOT present a passport that does require a visa. They are accustomed to this situation. Remember, if you board the flight in the USA or UK you'll need to present both passports at check in, the one with which you entered you country of departure and the one with which you enter Brazil.

Many of us here on MP have multiple nationalities so there is lots of experience with the various entry exit processes around the world.
