Hello,
Just finished assembling my K1 application package courtesy of the information I have found here on this site. Was initially considering an attorney to do this for me but the process was so wonderfully explained here that I figured I would do it myself and only hire an attorney if I run into some sort of snag. Thanks to everyone who has contributed.
My fiance Pri is a Brasileira I met through our corporate chat at work (our employer is a global corp) and the chemistry just seemed right so I went to meet her this March. What a trip :-) Brazil, for all it's problems, is an amazing country, it was the best vacation I had ever taken, but of course, that assessment is probably signifcantly biased based on how enjoyable it was spending time with my sweetie in person. Am going back in August & again in December, hopefully for the wedding :-)
We are just starting the process, I'm finishing the package by scanning all the completed pages and will "wheelbarrow" this stack of paperwork to the post office tomorrow for dispatch to Mequite TX.

Welcome to VJ and hope to see you on here from time to time.
Good luck with the process and hopefully you'll get a speedy approval.
You will most likely have the Visa before December, so keep your fingers crossed.

Welcome to the K-1 Nuthouse..... Leave your shoes at the door 
Welcome to VJ. The BESTEST immigration site goin today !!!!!!!!!!!!!! 
You stated that you were going back in Dec for the wedding. Perhaps I misunderstood. But as I read it, you are planning on getting married there. That is a problem. With the K-1 visa, you have to get married in the US. You could do a civil one here shortly after successful interview, then file for AP & AOS. You could prob get your AP in time to travel there and have a formal wedding. If you dont wait too long before starting your process.

... and be ready to share the Prozac....
I also picked up on your statement of marrying in Brazil... if you are intending to do that, you do not need a K1 visa...
Welcome and good luck!
