US Immigration from Brazil

Dear all

Do we have anyone here who got a NVC expedite approval for visa interview, while not being a health professional nor a person with real emergency need?

(I mean, simply being a EB visa applicant with a support letter from their employer).

I am trying to understand whether a case can be expedited without being considered an emergency by the consular officers.

Thank you for sharing your experience.

Hello everyone.

I am trying to understand how far away from getting an interview date my case is at the moment.

Does anyone here know what is going on right now at the US consulate in Rio?

So far I have heard a few things:

1) family-based cases backlog is gone. They are now taking care of tiers 2 & 3 out of the backlog priority list.

2)they are only taking care of students and au pairs at the moment.

3) they are processing all kinds of visas at the same time.

So what is going on there right now?

Hello guys

We received information that the Embassy in brazil received our petition on August 3rd, but we have not yet received the packet with the information to schedule the interview. How long does it usually take to receive this packet?

thank you in advance for any information

Hello, we are filling our I-134 and we need some help.
1- Does my fiance (petitioner) need to list me (beneficiary) under Dependent's Information? He doesn't claim any dependent on hist tax return. But I read someone that the beneficiary should be listed there.
2- We have a co-sponsor does she need to send proof of U.S citizenship? If so what would that be?
3- Our co-sponsor is married does her husband need to sign the I-134 as well?
4- For the I-134 filled by the Co-sponsor. In Part 2 Information about the beneficiary, item 7. Relationship to Sponsor. Does that remains fiancee or we should put the beneficiary's relationship to the Co-sponsor? Would that be friend's fiancee ? Because the petitioner is a friend of the co-sponsor.

Hello all. I've been in this site since my first journey (AOS GC) back in 2014.

I am currently waiting on my Naturalization; my interview is next month.

My wife and I got married last October, but she's in Brazil so it was a proxy marriage so it wasn't good for USCIS until after we "consummated" the marriage. I went to see her last month so now our marriage is finally good enough for USCIS since I can show we've been in the same place since our marriage.

I was going to wait until I became a citizen to file the I-130 thinking it would make the process faster, but from I've research I guess the I-130 process timeline for both citizens and green card holders is the same [?] and the difference is only after the I-130 is approved because of visa quotas, right? If that's the case I will just file the I-130 now and upgrade my application after I get naturalized.

Also, I'm military, if it makes a difference.
