K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Procedures	What type of Visa is best for me and my Brasilian fiancee?	Yep, I believe that as long as your fianceé is prepared with all her papers in order and answer honestly and calmly things will go well, at least, that's the norm.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Procedures	What type of Visa is best for me and my Brasilian fiancee?	Yeah, my interview was less than 10 min long as well, as pretty much everyone else's that day, and like I said before, except for one couple we were all without our USCs.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Procedures	What type of Visa is best for me and my Brasilian fiancee?	I dunno about the logistics of having the USC attend the interview. Unless they're getting stricter now the day of my interview only one person had their USC fiancé with her and they were actually the only ones not approved right away, they had some issue with their paperwork and would have to hand the proper papers in the next day before being approved. The fact my (then) fiancé wasn't there didn't even come up in the interview. I guess they would prefer if the USC was present but with a strong case I don't see why their absence would necessarily be an issue.	Ladylethal	Female	Brazil	2010-08-24 09:03:00
K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Procedures	What type of Visa is best for me and my Brasilian fiancee?	You know, it is strange, but I did not notice that big Brasilian flag right under your avatar. I only noticed the bad mr., or misses, kitty avatar, lol. Oh well, I am just a guy you know and we all have selective seeing and hearing and all of that. Thanks!, I will tell her. My apologies for not noticing you are uma Brasileira, . I guess the name menina just kind of gave it away for menina, I'll take that as a compliment on my English. And then again, I could have been the American side of the relationship. Menina is always very helpful on the forums and has gone through this more recently than I have so PMing her should indeed be helpful for your wife. And of course, on the regional forums the native languages are allowed, and we're represented there as well.	Ladylethal	Female	Brazil	2010-08-23 22:13:00
K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Procedures	What type of Visa is best for me and my Brasilian fiancee?	Hi, thanks for the info. It's not a problem for her to travel to Rio, but it sure is nice to know that in advance so she can plan for it. It is good to hear that things are going quickly now, and good to hear that it went well for you. She is very nervous right now. I remember she was the same way the first time she came here. And then the last time, immigration ask her a lot of questions and now that has got her more nervous than ever. Since your posting name is menina, I am assuming que você é uma brasileira e seu namorado, ou marido, é um Americano vivendo no Estados Unidos? Sorry if my spelling or grammar was bad there, I am learning, but have a lot more to learn. Anyways, if you are Brasilian, would it be ok if I have my financee ask you some questions using my account here? Obrigado I know you didn't ask me but if your fianceé is nervous and would like some input from us Brazilian fianceés (or former) that went through the process tell her to post in the Brasileiritchas topic, in the Latin American forums, it's towards the bottom of the list of forums here and over there Portuguese is allowed and there are several of us who have gone through the process that can answer her questions. I'm also the Brazilian here and although I went through the K1 in 2006 not a lot has changed and if your fianceé would like to PM me, feel free to do so.	Ladylethal	Female	Brazil	2010-08-23 21:30:00
K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Procedures	What type of Visa is best for me and my Brasilian fiancee?	Yep, I knew someone would come to confirm my post. I went through this in 2006 and wasn't sure if things might have changed or not.	Ladylethal	Female	Brazil	2010-08-23 20:03:00
K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Procedures	What type of Visa is best for me and my Brasilian fiancee?	@Happy Bunny - That is true, technically you can get married and apply for AOS now, since there was no intent when she entered the US on the tourist visa, you'll have to prove that on your AOS though, if I'm not mistaken. @Journeyer - Your case is indeed pretty simple and similar to many here. About her visits, if she had the visa, had no problems getting through immigration on each visa, and never overstayed, I don't see why they'd give her a hard time about it, since she was using the visa as intended. She will be asked about how you two communicate, but if she speaks English (and you some Portuguese), that's just fine. The age gap should be no issue at all, we have a lot of couples here with bigger age gaps. And somebody from Brasil correct me if I am wrong but the K1 visa is only processed in Rio so she'd have to fly there from Recife to be interviewed.	Ladylethal	Female	Brazil	2010-08-23 18:29:00
K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Procedures	What type of Visa is best for me and my Brasilian fiancee?	If your case is a direct one with no complications (such as previous marriages with no divorce papers, convictions, visa overstays, etc), doing it yourself is a just a matter of carefully reading the instructions and filling out the proper forms and present the proper documentation. The guides here plus reading around the forums and asking questions is often more than enough for a successful petition. All these visa services do is fill out the forms for you, and often enough we hear about people who used these services and were delayed due to mistakes made on their forms (and even lawyers who gave bad advice, filed the wrong forms, etc that caused huge delays), although others were successful in using them. I'd read the guides for the K1 all the way to the interview at Rio's consulate, so you know what will happen in the entire process and what papers and requirements you'll need to have/meet. It may seem a bit overwhelming at first but it really isn't too hard to put your application together. The whole process is all about patience, attention to detail, and more patience.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Procedures	One-Way Tickets on a K1 Visa	Most get a one-way ticket since that's the idea anyway. Just get whatever is cheaper as sometimes round trip is cheaper than one-way.	Ladylethal	Female	Brazil	2009-06-12 15:41:00
K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Procedures	Fiancee has sister in US illegally - DS156 question 37	My advice is to also contact an immigration attorney on this one.	Ladylethal	Female	Brazil	2006-04-10 10:43:00
K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Procedures	TOTAL COST OF K1 VISA	And remember to add up the little costs like getting pictures done and sending stuff back and forth through the post office, as well as making copies of a bunch of stuff.	Ladylethal	Female	Brazil	2006-09-04 07:18:00

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Procedures	The RFE Master List	The ones in Vermont that got the RFEs are the non-approved petitions.	Ladylethal	Female	Brazil	2006-06-27 10:53:00
K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Procedures	The RFE Master List	In doubt, send that + your passport (all pages with someone on it, especially the one with your info).	Ladylethal	Female	Brazil	2006-06-10 08:30:00
K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Procedures	The RFE Master List	Wood, you should provide all they asked, and I think you forgot to add the letter on intent, was it? From both of you.	Ladylethal	Female	Brazil	2006-05-02 13:53:00
K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Procedures	The RFE Master List	We got a RFE because my fiance didn't send in enough proof of our meeting - he had to send in more evidence! It's not enough just to fill out the form and say 'we met on X date' - you have to provide photos too And then he got another RFE because they needed more financial information from him. Combined the two held us up for three months which seemed like an eternity but wasn't really a big deal. What financial information does the US fiance have to send when filing the K1? I thought that was just for the interview later down the journey.	Ladylethal	Female	Brazil	2006-04-02 16:01:00

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Procedures	Timeline between meeting and I-129F	It shouldn't affect your case with USCIS, but it might be brought up at the interview.	Ladylethal	Female	Brazil	2006-10-08 19:31:00
K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Procedures	Fiance visa to expire	True, a K1 visa is not to be taken as a 90 day try out. It's for two people who wants to get married to be able to do so the most legal way. They give you 90 days simply 'cus some marriages take time to organize, but if you take into account that you can do a big marriage at any time after the civil one, 90 days is MORE than enough time to get legally married.	Ladylethal	Female	Brazil	2006-09-30 20:43:00
