Mexico, Latin & South America	K-1 Brazil Medical Procedures (Female)	QUOTE (Mike & Miche @ May 19 2009, 09:01 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}> QUOTE (julis82 @ May 19 2009, 06:57 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}> QUOTE (Mike & Miche @ May 19 2009, 08:24 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Good evening Everyone, I am in need of assistance from my fellow female VJ'ers from Brazil. Not to be graphic in by any means, but I am needing help in understanding the specific exams which you were required to undertake for your medical. I found out today from my fiance that she will need to endure a number of exams with a physican which she does not know and feels completely uncomfortable about. Further, she advised me that there will be a test about the condition of her back that could possibly disqualify her...which I certainly do not understand (she has a lower back problem). Any input or feedback you could provide I would appreciate very much. Thanks in advance. Mike She don´t have to worry about the medical exam. They will request a sifilis and HIV test and a X-ray of the lung. The doctor will also ask her a few questions about her health (nothing to worry about). Is very quick...and when she received the envelope with the results, pls don´t open the sealed one. That one she needs to bring sealed to the interview, also inside the medical exam packet, there´s hers results, so she can see if there´s something wrong or not. Normally when there´s something wrong, the doctor will talk to the person before deliver the tests. Good luck! What about gynological exam items (specific female "tests")? Did you have to endure these? Were you able to use your own female doctor to confirm these tests for the consulate physican? No...the embassy doctor will perform all the tests and examination..and the gynological one is more like questions...he don´t even touch her. She don´t have to go to her person doctor or anything, the embassy doctor will take care and u don´t have to go after anyone to confirm any kind of test.	julis82	Female	Brazil	2009-05-19 19:10:00

US Embassy and Consulate Discussion	Important tip...	QUOTE (criandjen @ May 14 2009, 10:07 AM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}> QUOTE (julis82 @ May 13 2009, 02:08 AM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}> People, this is more informative, ok? Today was my interview and i was worry because i didn´t had the original of my fiance divorce certificate. They didn´t even asked for any original documents from his side (just to be clear, i had to show MY originals since i´m the beneficiary) ...i had it all, the only thing that was missing was the blessed divorce certificate...not even a notarized copy i had... That doesn´t mean that the CO won´t ask for it, or maybe i was just lucky. So the tip is: if u don´t have a particular original document from your fiance side, DON´T EVEN mention to the CO...he probably won´t ask anyway... Good luck for all... Thanks for sharing! I know you said you didn't need to bring your sponsor's paperwork but if in the checklist they ask you to bring "financial evidence" - are they referring to the tax returns the sponsor submitted originally to prove the beneficiary would be financially okay? The documents that they ar looking for are: income tax return, w2 form and a letter from his employer. I didn´t even brought statement from an officer of the bank. I hope that i could help	julis82	Female	Brazil	2009-05-14 21:19:00

My future husband told me something about that but i asked a few people at the interview and no one knows anything about it. Brazilian community, does any one know?

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress Reports	I 94 expired and need help	Well, here is my situation: I've got married jun12 2009 and i had no idea that we had to apply for the adjustment of status within 90 of my arrival. We sent the pappers monday and i forgot to include the EAD. Now i'm thinking if i can apply for that since my I 94 expired almost 2 months ago. I didn't received any information that i could apply for a SSN before the adjustment of status pappers and now i'm so mad about it. Does any one knows if i'm going to have a problem to apply for the EAD since my I 94 is expired? Thx a lot	julis82	Female	Brazil	2009-10-28 23:24:00

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress Reports	AOS question	Thx a lot! As far as I know they won't require to see Police Certificates this time around. Bring your original and translated Birth Certificate and all other documentation you sent with your AOS Packet + any new documents that prove your bonafide marriage and that you two live together. About the I-94 I believe it shouldn't be a problem but for peace of mind translate it yourself and write on the bottom of the translation the little statement like Mrs. Silverman advised.	julis82	Female	Brazil	2010-01-07 23:19:00
K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress Reports	AOS question	The i-94 could be in english but sometimes the document is in portuguese too (that happend all the time). Sometimes they were out of the english verison. About the police certificates, i never had to translate those, that's why i'm asking. 1. Shouldn't the I-94 be in english, since it's an US document? 2. I would bring everything you sent initially, just in case.	julis82	Female	Brazil	2010-01-04 16:56:00

They already have all that but just to be sure.. I don't think they will ask for the police certificates. I already have my birth certificate translated.

You did marry within the 90 days, so you are still eligible to adjust. But—unless I'm mistaken—you are currently out of status; you need to rectify that by filing for AOS without any further delay.	julis82	Female	Brazil	2009-10-27 17:38:00
