US Immigration from Brazil

We just paid for the visa fee with the Rio de Janeiro consulate in Brazil. We saw that currently the appointments only going out two extra months (currently to September 2024). My fiance lives in Fortaleza, so flying with her two children to Rio is required to do the medical exams, biometrics, and interview. We're just trying to navigate the complexities and expenses of doing a multi week trip to Rio in the autumn to take care of all of those steps. She is completing a course at the end of September, and her children have school, so we were hoping to schedule the trip to Rio in October.

Is there any short term time limit on scheduling the interview? Can we just wait till August 1st (around another three weeks from this posting) so that the October interview dates open up without any issues?

Hello,

I applied for an IR1 visa on 03/31/23, and I was DQ'd on 05/06/24.
Does anyone know how much longer I will have to wait to have my interview scheduled in Rio de Janeiro?

Good morning everyone, I just wanted to thank you all for this amazing website and community which has been such a fountain of knowledge and a beacon of hope in this complex process.

With the help of the K-1 Visa guide on this website and the forums as well as through watching some Youtube videos, I decided to forego obtaining help from an immigration lawyer and decided to do the process myself. I have since began preparing my initial petition package and it has been going pretty smoothly however I just have a few questions regarding the actual I-129F form that I have not been able to find anywhere else. The questions are as follows.

Part 1, Q.13: Employment History

- Question 13 states "Provide your employment history for the last five years, whether inside or outside of the United States. Provide your current employment first." This question is a bit confusing to me as I am currently unemployed since I was laid off from my last role. Should I state that I am unemployed in the first employer box? If so, how should I do so? Or should I simply put my last employer on there? Also, since being laid off I worked at a restaurant for 4 days however I did not enjoy it and left. Should I put this information on the last employment box or not mention it since it was not significant?

Part 2, Q.16: Beneficiary's Employment History

- My fianc is a lawyer in Brazil who technically works on her own however she has worked at several law firms not as an employee but just offering her services. Sorry I am not really sure how to describe it as she said she was not an official employee and did not receive her paycheck but just helped work on cases, I am not exactly sure what the word for this is haha. How would I put this on the form? Would I say that she is Self-employed? Also, what would I put for the address?

Part 2, Q.49a-50f: Beneficiary's Name and Address in his or her Native Alphabet

-This question is pretty straightforward. She is from Brazil and their native language is Portuguese. Do I have to fill this section out with the required information or leave it blank since it would be technically the same information I already entered throughout the form? She has an accent mark in her last and middle name however I did not enter it throughout the entire form, should I write her name with the accent mark every time her name is asked? It does not have a mark in her passport so this is why I am asking.

Part 1, Q.38a-38h: If your beneficiary is currently in the United States

-This question was a bit confusing as my Fianc is not currently in the United States, however she came to visit me last year in the US. Even though I marked "No", the following questions all have things that apply to her, such as having an I-94 record, her passport number, and date of entry. Should I just leave it totally blank since I said that she is not in the US at the moment, or just fill out the questions such as Passport number and etc.?

Those are all my questions, I sincerely want to thank all of you for your amazing community on this website. As I learn and hopefully get approved, I would love to also help others as you and this community/website have helped me. Thank you all and God bless you.

Hello, I mailed my wife's request for evidence response to the wrong USCIS office on accident and the deadline is very soon. It had a I-693 and I do not know if we can get a new sealed copy on time. It was sent to P.O. Box 805887
Chicago, IL 60680, which is where I meant to send I-601, when it should have gone to 850 NW Chipman Rd, Lee s Summit, MO 64063. Both are addressed to USCIS Attn: Adjustment of Status. Should I resend the copies I have to the correct address and attach an explanation letter? I do not really know what else to do as USPS can't do anything and obviously I can't get through on the phone or online.

Hello. I currently have my I-751 application with a divorce waiver pending. They received my application in December of 2022. It's Potomac, so I am assuming I still have a while to go before I hear anything back.

I sent a pretty complete package in my opinion (by searching this forum for advice on what to send and etc)

My question is the following : My ex-wife and I decided to give things another chance after our divorce and after I sent my application. We pretty much had been dating for the past year and a half, until we officially ended things, for good this time. Still on good terms thankfully.

Is the potential evidence accumulated during this one year relationship post marriage still applicable in anyway to prove the validity of our relationship to USCIS, or does it not matter anymore since we were no longer married? Was just wondering because during this year we accumulated more of what could be good evidence for my petition (Vacation trips together, concerts, another apartment lease)
