I'm a little worried since my husband won't be able to be with me. The rules changed after July 31. Did you have any problem with NVC sending the documents direct to the consulate ? Do you know about the order of the documents we need to take ? What about a pregnant woman ? Do they have any preferrence in the line ?

Any tip will be welcome !!

Thanks a lot !!


When did the NVC send you package to Rio? Your VJ timeline does not show this. I wish I had answers to your questions. However, I did get an email from the NVC on November 15 the the package had been sent to Rio but my fiance has not gotten her letter from the consulate yet. Its already been two weeks. So, what day is your interview? I do hope that you will give us an account of your experience there because my Adriana will go crazy on those people if they say no. We look forward to hearing from you.

Hi. My husband received my package in the USA last week. The consulate WON"T send me any. This is a CR1 case. I don't know the procedures for the K1 visa. I had to provide the Police certificates and the form DS part I and II to the NVC. Previously these documents should be presented only in the day of my interview, personally. I had to provide & ship everything to the NVC in the USA. They sent the interview notice one week ago to my husband and NVC is going to send all my documents direct to the consulate in Rio. I'm supposed to take just the medical exams with the review, passport, pictures and proof of our relationship.

I don't really know the procedures regarding your type of visa. Sorry. I think you should call NVC and ask them about everything.

Mexico, Latin & South AmericaRio de Janeiro Brazil K-1 Interview

Boa Sorte.

Mexico, Latin & South AmericaBazil Police Certificate
Eu tirei meus certificados no Rio em Setembro. Levaram uns 15 dias para ficarem prontos O unico que pedia o reconhecimento de firma do escrivao foi o da Policia Federal. Eles dizem onde e que o escrivao tem a firma registrada e eles apenas reconhecem a firma, ou seja, a assinatura do mesmo. Por isso o certificado e emitido pela Policia e somente a assinatura deve ser reconhecida no cartorio indicado.

Mandei para o NVC com a respectiva traducao e ja completei meu processo. Todos os documentos estao corretos e ja tenho minha data de entrevista agendada para este mes. As regras para o CR1 mudaram e agora estes documentos devem ser enviados ao NVC ao inves de entregues no consulado no dia da entrevista. O mesmo se da com o formulario DS230 parte II. So nao assinei, pois o mesmo deve ser assinado em frente ao consul no dia da entrevista.

Esses certificados tem validade de apenas 90 dias, por isso so devem ser providenciados na reta final do processo, quando solicitado, ou terao de ser emitidos novamente ao final desse periodo, caso o processo na tenha sido aprovado ainda.

US Embassy and Consulate DiscussionHelp ! My Husband (sponsor)los his job

Any information will be welcome. I'm totally lost.... My interview was schedule to April 26 in the consulate, but 3 months ago my husband lost his job and now is receiving benefitc from the Government while looking for a new job desperatly. What can be done ? he used to make more than 5 times more than is required for the poverty guideline... Can he uses his assets ?? Even unemployed will he be able to file the affidavit of support ? Can the 401K be used as "ASSETS" ? Any information will be very helpful.


I'm sorry for your situation. Unemployment stinks when you don't want it.

1-He is not getting benefits from the gov't the way many of us think of that. Unemployment Insurance in the US is paid into by the employer, and is a time-limited offer.

2-If you are interviewing for the K-3, there is not set limit (but following the I-864 guides is a good idea).

3-I was unemployed when I successfully completed I-864. He can use assets, assets you have, a Joint Sponsor etc. The 401K can be an asset, but tell him he will have to count it first at what he would get if he cashed it in inside of 12 months (there will be a penalty). He then discounts *that* amount to one third its value.

Assets required now are 3X, not 5X, when filing for a spouse. This is assuming the I-864; no guarantees how the CO uses the I-134.

Thanks for your help, but please clarify what do you mean with "there is not set limit" !!

US Embassy and Consulate DiscussionRecent Policy Change: Brazil Visa Issuance & Pickup
Hi. As far as I know the only consulate who is sending the visas by courier service is the one in Brasilia, while the Immigrant interviews are always made in Rio de Janeiro !!! After reading your post I've been searching for additional information but I didn't find anything about it. Inside the consulate in Rio you can use the courier service from the company called TNT, but this is (was) optional. Anyway, the immigrant visa is not issued in the same day of the interview. Usualy it takes 2 days. Please check your schedule.

I'm facing a similar situation. My interview is scheduled to the next month and my husband has a very tight schedule. He won't be able to come and pick me up with my stuff...beside the twins we are expecting !!!

Good Luck ! good.gif

IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & ProceduresCan wife visit here on a visitor's visa while I-130 pending?
Well, I did that 2 times. First right after the marriage here in my country. They gave me a Visa valid for only 3 months or one trip visa. after 6 months I applied again and they gave me a 5 years Visa for visitor (multiple entries). At that time I was working and took a month vacation to spend with my husband. Didn't have any problem. Now I have my final interview date scheduled for December. No worries.
