Is there any way they would approve the visa without a co-sponsor on the basis that I get out of school in May and will be working full time again?????

Hmmm, is there a close friend you could ask to co-sponsor your fiancee? Maybe you could even ask a co-worker or colleague to do it for you if you feel comfortable.

Best of luck, you still have some time!

at this point I am asking everyone.....:-/

Thanks

Just found out my co-sponsor has backed out of the deal, we have until October 31 to have the documents in my fiancee's hand in Brazil. We are praying we will find another co-sponsor in time!!!

Oi,

2-3 days should be fine, if she does her medical in another state. Just in case, make sure she has plenty of money, especially for the interview (if she gets approved, they'll mail the passport with the visa for her, so she needs to pay a fee), or for any possible delay.

If she decides to make the medical here in Rio, then I'd say, at least 1 week (if she doesn't have some of the exams that the doctor here requires, BEFORE the medical itself). For more info about it, you can PM me, I'm from Rio.

Good luck!

Thank you very much for your help, I noticed you're just ahead of us in this whole process. I have read the posted cost of the medical and the visa, but I was wondering what you have found?

Also, what does the doctor there require? I don't think I understand.....

Thanks

Oi,

My fiancee is concerned about the time she will need in Rio, she is nervous about having medical done in Curitiba because she doesn't want to make a mistake. If she gets the medical done before she goes to Rio and her Appointment is on Monday, how many days will she need to stay in Rio?

I was speaking with a friend today and he said a co-sponsor needs to live near where we will live when my fiancee gets here. My co-sponsor lives in Salt Lake, and I'm in Boise......What's the protocol????

Thanks,

I was told that Rio consulate does not send packet 3 anymore, but here is a link to all of the information that you need:

Boa Sorte!

Obrigado, I think I'm more nervous than my Fiancee is......

Hi,

I was wondering what material my fiancee will need at the interview in Rio for a K-1 fiancee visa, I heard something about packets 3 & 4 ?????

Yes, six months should be correct. Check the visa once she gets it to be sure there is not an earlier expiration date on it. With the interview at the end of October, you would only be waiting a couple of months to go get her (it sounds like), so you would be fine. My fiance was approved in the beginning of September, but didn't come until the middle of November. Good luck with the interview!

Thanks, I have another question for you, What do we need for packet 4?????

1) NICE NAME

The visa is valid for 6 months if i am not mistaken. so she has 6 months from the time she gets the visa until it expires and she will no longer be able to enter the US on that visa. The support forms will be presented at the interview so start talking to more people who are interviewing in Brazil and they can give you insight on packets 3 and 4 for the interview.

good luck with everything,

Tye (also my name lol)

Thanks, I will troll for more info.....:-)

Hi,

My fiancee's visa has been approved by the USCIS and the interview has been set in Rio for October 31, 2011. I am wondering about the timeline we have to get her here once the visa has been issued. I am currently in school and have very limited time to go to Brazil, and she wants me to go get her. I hope everything falls into place so I can get her on my winter break, but just in case...Is there a time limit as to how long we can wait before she comes? I know we will have 90 days to be married once she gets here, but that's the only time limit I see.

Also I have not been asked for the support forms, what do I need to do?

Thanks for any insight,

Tye

Thanks, I thought that was it, I will breath easier now...:-)

I just sent our I-129F packet in May. I am a student and haven't had significant work for over 2 years, I do have an Aunt who has the funds, and is willing to be a sponsor, but I don't know how it works. Does anyone here have any ideas as to what happens in this case?
