US Immigration from Brazil

I'm hoping someone can help - my wife has her AOS interview coming up and she was charged with a crime that was dropped. The Court of Justice of the state of RS hosts a site for its court cases (TJRS) and the documents that declare the final dispositions are available for download. These documents contain a 'certification' at the bottom with a URL and a code that can be used to verify that the submitted document is authentic. My wife is a lawyer in Brazil and assures me that this is the only document that the court will provide. They will not certify the document in any other way or provide a signature, stamp, seal, etc. We also have counsel in Brazil who says the same thing. Does anyone have experience with court documents from Brazil or Rio Grande do Sul? Will USCIS accept a document that's 'certified' this way?

I have a question regarding the minimum annual income limits for sponsors of the (I-129F) K1 visa. We would be a household of three. According to current HHS Poverty Guidelines, 125% for a family of 3 would be $31,075 per year. If I calculate my income from my job as my daughter's full-time caregiver that I have been employed as since 2000, I fall short by $600 annually. But this is not my total income. I also receive a monthly cash payment directly from my daughter for household expenses. If I calculated this additional money into my income, then I am above the income threshold.

My daughter receives a monthly SSI payment. She will continue to receive this payment permanently because she is permanently disabled from birth. It is from her SSI payment that she pays me the additional income that I count.

My question is then, will USCIS accept as my total income that which I receive from my employment as her caregiver AND her monthly payment to me even though she receives SSI?

She is the only SSI recipient. I personally DO NOT receive SSI.

Thanks for your help

We were notified that our approved K1 petition/case was sent to the Embassy in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil by the NVC on Feb 14th and our case status changed to ready the 15th. I emailed the consulate to see how long it would take to receive the email with the instructions (packet 3) and they replied that it could take up to 3 weeks for them to receive the case and send that email. I did the DHL hack and I'm pretty sure our case has been received by the Rio Embassy, but we haven't received the email yet. My questions are:

1. How long does it usually take to get this email for everyone else now-a-days, and do you even receive it?

2. I've been told we will need it for the medical exam and the interview, is this true?

3. Also, we went ahead and scheduled my fiance's interview as per the advice on one of these forum topics, so if we don't receive the letter by the appointment date, will we have to cancel the appointment?

Thank you in advance!

Hey guys

I've been in the k1 process for a while but it won't be possible to quit my job after the whole thing is done, and I don't want to be unemployed in the US for so long. My fiancee and I are thinking of withdrawing and getting married when I go visit him in the us next month, so we can apply for the cr1.

I will come back to my country and plan on visiting again in the summer, after we apply for the cr1. Would this impact my entry in the country next time I go?

What would be the best way not to be accused of fraud or anything like that? I just want to be able to visit him while we wait for this process to be done since my work schedule is felxible, and his is not.

Ps: I'm not in a hurry to move to the US but I would like to see him every couple of months or so, would that be difficult?

Thank you
