US Immigration from Brazil

Hello, I am a USA citizen sponsoring a Brazilian fianc for a K1 visa. Unfortunately I have some convictions from 13 years ago for selling a drug. What should I include with my i-129f to avoid denial or RFE?

I found this requirement on the IMBRA:

If the petitioner indicates that he or she has been convicted by a court or by a military tribunal for one of the specified crimes by checking one or more of the boxes in Part C., question 2 of Form I-129F, or USCIS ascertains through relevant background checks that the petitioner has been convicted, the petitioner will be required to submit certified copies of all court and police records showing the charges and dispositions for every such conviction.

I m having a hard time determining exactly what is required in documentation. I have court stamped paperwork showing I was initially charged with several counts of Trafficking that were dismissed: VD District Dismissals w/o Leave by DA No Plea Agreement

Would it be important to include that the reason for dismissal was the drug I was in possession of had been misidentified? The court had the drug tested in a lab, once properly identified as 4-MEC my charges were reduced to PWISD Schedule 1 and Delivery of Schedule 1

I was sentenced to 1 year of probation, which I violated on the 10^th month with a Defrauding Drug Screen/Test misdemeanor. This charge was dismissed as well, but my probation was extended by 1 more year and was then completed successfully.

I understand I will need a document verifying that the probation was successfully completed? Is this true? I reached out to the probation office, and they provided me with a document stating the times of my probation, but it doesn t specifically state that it was completed without further issue.

I also have letters from a drug counselor and psychologist confirming that I was in treatment with them at the time. Would it be appropriate to include these letters as well?

If anyone has successfully been able to sponsor a K1 visa with a felony background, please comment and share what documentation was needed. I would love to avoid a denial or RFE

Hi!

We're trying to decide which visa is the best for us: K1 or CR1.

According to my research the K1 process is taking from 6 to 8 months from the initial filing to interview, is that right? While the CR1 takes at least a year (+ we gotta wait until we get married to start the process).

The case would be processed at the Rio de Janeiro Consulate and we both live together in Brazil, does anyone went through the visa process while together in another country? I just know that we need a joint sponsor cause I (the beneficiary) don't earn any income in the US.

Well,

Thank you all in advance!!

We sent the package with all the required documents for the adjustment of status. The Form I-485 and Form I-765. Sent the checks too!

However, I have made a mistake on Form G-1145. Instead of putting my information on the form, in the 'Applicant/Petitioner' field and 'email' fields. I put my wife's. After bothering with the previous documentations I just got who the 'Petitioner' is wrong since for the AOS that would be me but previously, it was her.

Do you think this might hamper the process? I'm worried that might be a problem but I'm not quite sure. I know I got everything on the 485 and 765 right, but it was specifically the G-1145 that I made a mistake. And I'm not sure exactly what happens if you file a non-essential form incorrectly.

I'm hoping that at worst they will just send my documentation back but also we really need that receipt number as fast as possible.

If it is an issue, do you think there is any way that I could fix it?

Thanks for reading, everyone. Hope you have a good day.

I know this is a crazy question, but I don't know where to go for an answer anymore LOL

Me and my fianc play a game called FFXIV in which you make characters to play with, and said characters can get "married" in-game. Obviously it's just a silly cute thing to do, nothing legally binding.

We are putting together our proof of relationship document and pictures of said "wedding" came up, and we thought it'd be a good idea to add them since they have a date from pretty early on in the relationship.

However, I'm scared they'll be used as proof that we're already married, and that the K1 visa would be refused. Am I totally overthinking this? Should I just not include them? lol

Thanks in advance

We received the NOA1 last evening july 19 for our I-129F via Mail. The check still hasn t gone through and we re wondering what happened. There are sufficient funds in the account and no issues with the check we sent. I m worrying if the check slipped out of our file during the sorting process. Anyone have this issue? They sent to us this notice of action * noa1* but the check still not cashed
