Hello everyone!!! I´m starting my visa journey this month -- I´ll be a February filer!! I´m currently in Brazil with my fiance but will be returning to the US is a month. I was wondering if there would be any problem with me sending the k1 packet from Brazil? Is there any sort of rule which says it must be mailed from the US? All other correspondence will be from the US; you see, we´re just trying to maximize our together time because as you all know that time apart can be gut wrenching. So we figure we can shave month or two off of the separation time by sending it while I´m here. My father will check the mail for me so if any request for information or anything like that comes within the month that I am here then he´ll let me know. The way I see it going is that I send it from here, they recieve it, I get the NOA1 (i dont have to do anything with the NOA1 do I?) and then a few weeks after that arrives I´ll have arrived and be working and waiting for the NOA2.

Any answers, ideas or responses would be greatly appreciated. Thanks and good luck to everyone on their journey!!
