K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresAre they going to deny it?
Please read the guides, there are plenty of us brazilians that went through a K1, succesfully.

I can only see reason to worry (and then it's a certain denial) if you two haven't met in person prior to sending the application. If that's your case, you'll have to meet in person before going down this route 'cus one of the requisites to file for a K1 is having met in person in the past 2 years.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Procedureskindly read my post
I am not sure you can send anything to them. Sometimes your case is sent to the consulate without you hearing from them, so suddenly your fiance/e receives packet 3 at his/her home. If that's not your case, you should try contacting your congressman or just keep calling NVC to check the status of your case.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresVisa Waiver Program
Bush signed the law, but in order for it to work, Brazil will have to enroll in the program, and wait to be approved for it, it will also have to change it's reciprocity law and stop requiring visas from americans.

Don't count on the VWP program for Brazil anytime soon, my guess it will take at least a year for it all to come to reality, if it does come, since the law Bush signed is for country with 10% or less of denied visa applications in the consulates (the bigger the number of illegals, the more they deny) and Brazil has currently 13% of denials.

Also, it's visa fraud to enter US with intentions to marry and stay if you already know it beforehand and are aware of the laws.

The main sponsor will be your wife, even if she has a co-sponsor.

I'd wait, visit more, and be sure I was making the right decision. After which you'd have more knowledge of the process, more evidence, etc.

One of the civil surgeons in Rio, Dr. Joaquim, gets all done in a day, so if she flies to Rio a couple of days before her interview, she can get the medical done in time. His office is actually IN FRONT of the consulate.

You guys should be talking about all of this in private, we at the boards can't give opinion about whether she should stay, go, you should or shouldn't marry, etc. You should take this conversation to your private messages, phone, e-mail, etc.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresI-129F Question B18 Attachment
Yes, but by doing so in my I-129F package it saved me time questions in the interview. The lady there had notes on those facts and only asked me 3 simple questions and just chatted about what she had read. Made things a lot easier for me and I guess helped me sail through my process.

Besides, I cross referenced all my evidence with the story I had, which made my proof more clear and helped prove the 2 year meeting requirement.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresI-129F Question B18 Attachment
I wrote "See attachment" and wrote about a page for question 18. I think it helped establish the rest of the proof I sent with my package, like the photos. I would definitely mention meeting the parents, as USCIS and the consulate take that in high consideration of a bonafide relationship.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresVaccinations: which doctor?
If you can get vaccinated in your country I suggest doing so, it doesn't have to be the civil surgeon, you can go to your doctor or local health center and check which vaccines you'd need. My suggestion of doing so is 'cus some vaccines will require 3 doses and some doses need to administered with an interval of 6 months between them, if you start now you'll have less vaccines to take after you arrive in US, where they could be more expensive (in my case vaccination in Brazil is free so I tried to take them all there, and still had to take 2 last doses here and paid $25 for one and $70 for the other).

And just to clear it up, you'll need your vaccination records when getting vaccines with your own doctor or health care center, as those are proof that you were vaccinated, then you can take those to the civil surgeon and he'll transcribe that to the vaccination record sheet, which you'll want to ask for a copy and take with you to the US, you'll need it for AOS. It's very important to ask for a copy of the vaccination record signed by the civil surgeon.

LadylethalFemaleBrazil2007-10-25 12:43:00
K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Proceduresk1 versus k3.....
If your wedding NEEDS to be in January I'd get married first and apply for a K3, 'cus it's VERY doubtful you'll have the visa in your hands by January, since the timelines for a K1 are more like 6 months from filing to the interview.

Going the K1 route would mean waiting that time before you can get married in US. If you marry first you can get married anywhere, then he'd have to fly back home at least for the interview to receive his K3.

You'd need to balance out your plans and read the guides to decide what's the best route for you.

Keep the notifications from USCIS and the copy of the vaccination copy, at least. Those you will need for sure. I'd keep everything at least until you had the GC.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Procedures10 Year Tourist Visa?
And remember, mom's 10 year visa was issued before 9/11, things have changed quite a bit after that, and these days 10 year visas are RARE, if not to say, not being done at all. I think now they give a maximum of 5 years, and even that is not so frequent anymore.
LadylethalFemaleBrazil2007-10-28 10:15:00
K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Procedures10 Year Tourist Visa?
Depending on your financial situation, age and mood of the agent you can, my mom has one, but don't get confused, a 10 year tourist visa is valid for 10 years to use for multiple entries, but at each time you can only stay in the US a maximum of 90 days, depending in the stamp you receive on your I-94, that will be what's valid for your stay, if the I-94 says 2 weeks, then that's what you have, even though your visa is valid for 10 years. You'd have to leave and enter again, and if you do it too often in short periods of time you CAN get denied entry.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresK1
If he's got the visa in his hands I am not sure if the Embassy would be able to contact him and make it void, you can contact USCIS and tell them you're withdrawing and who knows, maybe he'll be prevented from entering US in his POE, but otherwise since he won't be marrying you in 90 days he'll be out of status after that period of time and subject to deportation.

Your fiance still needs to fill a I-134 and it can't be blank, whenever he doesn't have info since he doesn't make enough or he doesn't work he'll still write NONE or N/A depending on the case and would inform if he's unemployed or a student.
