US Immigration from Brazil

Previous thread here for more context.

So my brother's son (US citizen by birth) is currently residing in Brazil and since turning 21 recently, he petitioned for my brother, also in Brazil so both can immigrate again to the US. The case was submitted through the NVC with a mistake being made on the I-130 at the beginning where the son entered my (uncle living in the US) address as his current residence. We were advised here in the thread above to correct the address on the next step/application.

Everything was submitted to NVC but some items returned. The most notable and worrisome is this one:

PETITIONER might not have a principal residence or be domiciled in the United States. Please submit proof of domicile. For more information on domicile requirements, visit https://nvc.state.gov/fin.

As noted above, he is currently in Brazil so technically, not domiciled in the US as he left at a very early age.

What should be done here to prove domicile? Apologies if this question is very obvious.

Also, there were about 5 messages sent through the portal asking to correct a few things but when viewing the documents section of the portal, only two files show a DECLINED. Should we do everything being asked through the messages or only submit the files that show DECLINED?

Hi everyone. Our standalone I-130 was approved a few days ago and we're getting started on collecting the civil documents for the NVC part of things. When I go to the website to see what civil documents my husband will need to gather, we find that the link is broken and we can't see the examples of the Brazilian Civil Documents. I was wondering if someone knows of a website outlining everything we will need or if you personally have gone through it and could point us in the right direction. It's mainly the police, court, prison and military records that we need help with. He was never convicted of a crime, never been to prison, he was dismissed from military duty and all that jazz.

As fate would have it, we received our naturalization ceremony date 2 weeks after my wife/kids are to fly to Brasil to spend 5 months there. My wife's mother isn't in the best of health, she wanted to spend significant time there with them, and has made several plans already in that 2 week interim. We also enrolled our oldest daughter in pre-school also.

Does anyone have any experience to share if we decide to not change flight arrangements, and to request they reschedule her oath ceremony to sometime after Jan 3rd, 2024? Do we risk a high likelihood of having her case closed?

We had been waiting since Feb of this year to be scheduled..

Hi!

I got married a couple of weeks ago in the US and came back to my country of residence. My husband and I don't have kids or any joint accounts, lease contracts or anything yet, and I don't know exactly what to add as evidence, or what would be enough. So I have a few documents in mind:

- We applied to a K1 visa last year and decided to withdrawal. A couple of days after our wedding he got the NOA2 in his house - so we're thinking about attaching the NOA2 and his letter withdrawing from the K1 process (that kinda counts as a bona-fide relationship at least, no?)

- pictures of our wedding;

- flight tickets to see each other

- paypal and wise money transactions (?)

- we lived together from 2018/2021 - should I get the contract of that rented apartment?

What else should I add?

Thanks in advance!

I'm in the process of gathering documents for the cr1 now myself, that period of two years is like a best case scenario thing (No RFE, etc)?

I've applied for a k1 before and it took 13 months to be approved and then sent to the NVC - in the case of the CR1, should I expect the processing time to get longer?

Edit: I know it's not a fast process but now I'm wondering if it's even longer than I imagined. My husband is an US citizen!
