Mr. Tickets, MSPeconomist, xliioper Thanks for the input; the advice from this group is always very useful in these situations.

We returned last night from our previous trips and decided to simply plan for the best case and repack the bags and be prepared to depart for the airport at noon local time in case the eVisa was approved... well 2 hours before that go-no-go we (I) received the eVisa. So we are now at the airport (waiting on a delayed flight to/from ATL) but we will very likely be in Sao Paulo tomorrow morning.

Thanks for the help.
