Same here. Brazilian consulate in San Francisco only issued a 90 day visa to me. I asked the visa service I used about it and was told that they're seeing more and more 90 day visas even when five year visas are requested. Somebody in our State Department must have pi$$ed off Brazil or something.
Regarding passports, I need to renew mine next year. Any thoughts as to when this backlog is going to clear if ever?
