Mandei meu I-134 junto com o de meu padastro (co-sponsor) ontem para minha noiva. Agora ela recebeu o packet 3 do Rio e esta' pedindo provas de cidadonia dos que preenchem o I-134. Era para meu padastro e eu ter mandado copias de nossos passaportes??? Pois, nunca ouvi/li nada sobre isso.

Obrigado,
Mateus

Mateus,
At the Interview, you (US Citizen) need to provide proof of citizenship (item #19 below). That could be a copy of your passport or a birth certificate. I included a certified copy of my Birth certificate. You and the co-sponsor can do the same to prove your citizenship.

Documents for the interview should be put in the following order:
1- Two front view photos (name printed behind) (these passport pictures needs to show the ears)
2- Passport
3- Citibank fee
4- Form DS-230 part 1 (K3 visas only)
5- Two forms DS-156
6- Form DS-156K (fiancees only)
7- Form DS-157 (for those over 14 years old)
8- Form FS-257a (fiancees only)
9- Sworn Statement (fiancees only) (this one comes in the packet 4)
10- Birth certificate and copy
11- Marriage certificate and copy
12- Divorce decree and copy (if applicable)
13- Death certificate and copy (if applicable)
14- Military service and copy (if applicable)
15- Police Certificate and copy (Secretaria de Segurança Pública)

- USC's proof of current job and
- USC's proof of citizenship or greencard
20- Job offer (if available)

joey is right. You still have time to send your fiancée, that will be needed just for the interview. Unless something changed that I'm not aware of. When I sent my packet 3 in august last year I didn't need to send that, but I did need to take the proof with me on my interview date.
And yes, in your case you have a co-sponsor you need to send item # 19 of both of you.

Quick question on the "Proof of current job" ..does it have to be a letter from your employer or can it be recent paycheck stubs?

What about letters from banks? Not really needed in Rio?

Thanks!!

As far as I know we do need a letter from our employer. I just copied the example here on VJ and e-mailed it to my boss - asking her to print it out on letter head. She did just that for me. I also have my contract from the beginning of the school year.
I asked the consulate about the letter from the bank (after several unsuccessful attempts to get mine) and they said that what I had was sufficient. I since then found the info I received when I opened my bank account and will take that with me.
If you e-mail the consulate and tell them your salary, what you have, and ask them if it's ok, they will let you know what you need.
I'm also bringing my tax returns from the past 3 years with my W2s and a few paystubs (from Nov/Dec 2006 and this year).
Hope this helps.

Where did you find the example of the letter from employer on VJ? I have looked everywhere today. Under "Downloads", "Example Forms", Brazil embassy...risos!!! UFA!

Obrigado!!

Here is the letter that I have (I knew it'd be a pain to search):


This letter is to confirm that Meredith [last name] has been employed full-time with the [school board] since [date] as a teacher, working at [name of school]. She is a permanent, full-time employee in good standing with a current yearly salary of [one million dollars ].

Hope this helps.

There's not one, you just create something. You need to have included, your name, your salary, your position, start date and if you are full time or part time. It should be on company letterhead and signed by a Manager/Supervisor. "To Whom it may Concern" is a good start for the letter. I had my boss print 3 sets and sign each of them.

I agree with Joey.

I addressed my letter to "To whom it may concern" and then e-mailed the above letter to my boss who then printed it out on letterhead and signed it. I also have a letter from my school district but they only included half the information I asked for so I got this next letter from my immediate boss. I'm still including the first letter though because I'm employed by the school district, working at a school. I hope that's not confusing
I want to show how it all fits in because my pay stubs are from the district, not the school.
