I am actually starting the process. I will be sending the I130 packet application on the 30th of this month. I am including the I130 form and the G325a ( one for me and one for my husband), with the fee of $420,00, along with all supporting evidence.

I do have 1 more doubt, if you could help me, my marriage certificate is in portuguese, should i have it translated?

am I missing anything?

I'm no expert on any of this but wouldn't you be filing for a IR1/CR1 visa? Thought the K3 is a thing of the past?

[jefcarina 0]

i dont know anymore i am officially lost. i do not know anymore what to file and how. all i know is that i need to move to the us as fast as possible, and i cant find 1 single person that can walk me through all ofthis.

any suggestions?

Did you read all the guides provided on this site? They have everything you need to know. Other choice is to hire an immigration lawyer :-(

the immigrant lawyer would be the perfect solution. but i dont have the money for that.

Im trying to read everything and make sence out of it, but it seems the more i read the more confused i get.... dont know why.

forms:

I-751

I-864

just makes no sence to me.

K3 is still used, at least there are still instructions about it and everything, but i read about it and the one u mentioned is faster.

but they both work only when filling the I130 petition, so i need to file that first anyway, but im scared to send it with missing forms, becasue it will just delay the process. im just confused.

If you follow the guide here:

http://www.visajourney.com/content/i130guide1

...you should be fine. Just double check the instructions on the I-130 to make sure u have everything. Lawyers really don't help that much unless you have big "issues" to overcome as part of the immigration process.

You will file an I130, G325A for you and your husband, and attach the documents (marriage certificate, passport copy, etc) that are listed on the I130. File it at the address where you are supposed to file it then wait.

After the I130 is processed your husband will get a packet from the embassy. It will have a visa application and a list of documents for him to assemble. There will be a letter that he will sign that states "I have all the documents ready". He will send the application and letter back to the embassy then you will wait some more

After they receive that you will get a notice for interview. There will be a set of medical documents that he has to take to the approved medical facility and get a physical. This has to be done about 2 weeks before the interview date. Either they will send it directly to the embassy or he will pick up the medical results and bring them to the interview.

When the notice for interview comes in, that is when you will prepare the I864. He will also bring that to the interview.

This is how it happened for us.

You dont file for a K3 visa from outside the US. That is no relevant to your situation.

Now read the guides like it was advised to do.

You are posting in the DCF forum, but you will not be filing DCF as it isn't available in Brazil. If you're married, go read the Guides on the CR-1/IR-1 visa process. Read and re-read until you understand.

Choosing the K-3 visa route is a little complicated. If you really want to do that, you should look at the K-3 forum to see the latest updates. It is not worth the effort according to what people have been posting here, though at least a couple of people have recently done it.

CR-1/IR-1 is probably for you. Read, read, and then read some more.

The USCIS website has good info as well.

They can't do DCF in Brazil. OP, ignore these specifics and go read on your own as everyone is saying. Your process will not be the same.

The second part I highlighted is embassy-specific, so be careful telling people specific things about the process in countries different from where you filed.
