     *     adoption information (locality of adoption, name, address and telephone number of the attorney
            in charge of the process);

2) a valid passport or permit to reenter the US;
      *     non-US citizens are additionally requested to present one of the following:
             - a US resident alien card or
             - a valid entry visa to the US

3) two filled out copies of a visa application form provided by the Consulate;

4) two recent passport-type photographs;

5) a round trip ticket to Brazil or an itinerary print-out from a carrier or travel agent attesting to the
