Are you trying to type it and it won't fit? If that's the case, handwrite it in.

Thats right! Its because i cant type letters just numbers.

Answers:

• For question #21, write your current address in Brazil.
• For question #22, leave the left two lines blank or write N/A; for the two lines on the right, write Rio de Janerio Brazil

What should I write on that question? My wife and I are living in Brazil and we will apply the process from Brazil.

Thanks!

I do not know. Sorry!

But at least i can you UP to keep your post on the top.

Such affidavits carry little to zero weight to begin with. If you choose to include them, they do not need to be notarized.

What does it mean, Ryan? So it isnt necessary? or it is?

Thanks!

Sworn affidavits of friends and/or family should be notarized? Because i read and had people that didn't made it. Just normal signature.

IS IT NECESSARY????

Hello guys,

Hello guys,

I'm here filling out my form and then I see this question and do not know what to answer. YES or NO?

To better understand, I'll explain objectively. I've been in the U.S. with K1 visa and married my wife there.

That means I need to put yes? Or this question mean about criminal cases in immigration or if I've ever been deported?

This is a confusing question! Thank you, guys!

I would stress the point that I was approved for K1 got there realized

I DONT care to live there permanently, and moved back home , of course

with your wife and kid...also thake proof of ties in Brazil...that should

prove it

Who dont/didnt care? We had some issues that made us to move to Brazil, which befits not explain the VJ. As an officer of the USCIS said: life changes, plans change. You do what best for you at the moment and no one can judge you.

As long as you can show you have strong ties to Brazil and have no intentions of entering the US as tourist and file for AOS, you should not have any problem in getting a B1/2.

Same things which applies to other tourist, property, job, school etc would be required to show you have strong ties in Brazil.

Thats right.

As the previous poster said. You need proof of your intent to not overstay your tourist visa. You should take at a minimum wedding invitation, letter from relative asking you to attend, proof of job in Brazil, proof of lease/home ownership, proof of enrollment in school college for you or your dependants in Brazil. Recent bills that you are paying like electricity for your home/apartment. Proof of leave that you have taken in writing from manager, hr person. I would recommend taking more than one piece of proof. As many as you can gather. Be open about your intentions and previous history. There is a good chance they will know more than you would think and they will try to test you on your truthfullness. I have had this experience with US immigration officers. They want to know at the least that you are a truthful person.

For sure. It's somewhat understandable. I left the United States when I had the chance to have the GreenCard in my hands, it's a great indication that I did not want to live that much in the United States. I married my wife for what it is, for what she represents to me as a human being and infinitely by our love. Not to live in the United States. Visit her family is part of our life and my right. I hope everything goes right.

No, it doesn't... I totally understand your concern. I don't think you should apply for a immigration visa with no intention of immigrating. The proof that you don't want to leave your country should be enough, right?

Perfect. You got it right! Obviously I'll need to say all this with the consul at my interview, but I hope it really is not a problem.

Hello!

You shouldn't have any problem. Gather up proof of ties to brazil: your employment, your wife's, show them that your daughter is registered in school, if you own your place, show them this too, if you don't bring your lease or something. Anything you can think of that shows ties to Brazil. I am pretty sure there are many threads on VJ on what to gather up.

Hi, thanks CaroSL!

Definitely! My question is more focused on the problem of me being married to a U.S. citizen and if it could create me a problem. What I do not believe nor have any sense of it as well.

I've heard stories, but without any factual basis they may deny your visa with the assumption that you would be going to live, so you should come with a proper visa IR1/CR1 and others of the same genre. But what I do not understand this whole story is: why should I get a request for an immigrant visa to VISIT and then leave the U.S. again? it does not make any sense, doesnt?

Hello guys,

I'll try to be very clear and objective. my wife, my daughter and I have plans to go to America next year to go in her sister's wedding and also visit her reatives. I am Brazilian and my wife is an American citizen and our daughter has dual citizenship. I married my wife last year (March/2012 in the United States). I entered in the United States with a K1 visa (fiancee visa) and married her in due time as the visa/consulate said.

I left the U.S. with my family and came to live in Brazil again before you even enter the AoS process and have the GreenCard. Anyway, plans changed and we had to go back, but before I left the U.S. I went to USCIS to make sure this does not give me any trouble in the future and an officer of the USCIS said that I would not have any problems leaving the United States even not have finished the process K1.

Next year, as I said, we're going to the U.S. to visit her family and this important event of her sister. I was wondering if I would have any problem in applying a tourist visa? I know that the American consulate has the principle of thought that everyone who will visit the United States is a potential immigrant. What is definitely not my case, since I did not want to end the process and I have no plans in the short / medium term live there because I have work, college in my country and my wife is already employed in Brazil.

I know I can enter the United States with a visa called IR-1, but this is an immigrant visa and as I said and I repeat again, I have no plans to live in the United States, only visiting her family (which now is also my family). Anyway, I think that was it!

I ask for your help guys!

Best regards.

Leandro

Hello VJ friends!

Everyone OK? I hope so!

I have a question that might be silly, but as I am not so experienced in these types of visas maybe you guys can help me give a better explanation.

What does it mean exactly when the VJ guide on the CR-1 and IR-1 says: "The primary difference between these two visas is that a CR-1 Visa will result in Conditional Permanent Residency (requiring a petition to be filed later to lift this conditional status) versus a IR-1 Visa resulting in full Permanent Residency upon arrival in the US by the foreign spouse."

What is the difference between someone being Conditional Permanent Residency and full Permanent Residency?

Thanks a lot, guys!

CONGRATS!!!!!!!!!!!!

"I received my NOA2 on 5 December and so far I have not received my case number from NVC. My fiancé called USCIS and they said they have 90 days to send to NVC. I wonder: What? 90 days?? This ever happened to anyone??

What did you do to receive the CASE NUMBER FROM NVC?? I need help ... I'm already waiting 39 days after receiving my NOA2."

My heart is broke.

My fiancee arrived the Nov. 15th. I have been the happiest guy in the world with my fiancee until I got home from work today and found out she was gone. No message, no communication, her luggage is gone.

She seemed very happy here. We did lots of shopping, eating out, got a christmas tree in the forest, hockey games, cooking together..... I thought we were very happy as far as I knew. We had a great evening together last night, she seemed more romantic then ever and I went to work this morning like normal. She was talking to me via phone messages all day as usual.

Her phone is shut off now from the moment I arrived home from work. I tried to send her an email and it was rejected.

I do not know where she is. She does not know any people around my city. I found out through my phone bill she has been talking to people in 3 other states a lot for days so I assume she is in one of those states becuase she did not know anyone here.

I can not believe this has happened to me. I treated her like a princess always. I do not understand why women use men. I have known her for 2 years and we talked every day. How can women be so heartless to just leave and not say anything? I put 100's of hours into helping her get her visa and paid for everything. And she leaves me without any conversation at all?

I am confused as to what to do? Report her missing? Call the numbers she was calling? I don't think they will tell me anything she must have beening organizing with them to leave.

@Leonardo, I think thats the number i called...the same number on the NOA1.........cant imagine why no one would talk to you, you of course have to go through the phone menu, try skipping through it as if you do not know your case number, you will reach someone.

One reason i did not sign up for text/email alerts is because i was in costa rica at the time, and had none of them available......at least none that i could ever rely on....lol

But the mystery is that my fiancee could not really talk to anyone! She said she was about 10 minutes just going through the menu and found nothing!

What options do you use? you said you called several times ... maybe you remember something!

Its TOOO IMPORTANT!

Thank you!

K1 petition NOA2 yay! Dont be afraid to keep calling USCIS! I have called several times, Because my case # "was not valid" on the USCIS website OR their phone menu... Well, 2-3 weeks ago they tell me my petition "has no red flags" and was just waiting for an officer to actually place the approval on it.......I was surprised to hear him tell me so much, but did not want to get my hopes up anyway..........

I called yesterday, and they tell me it has been approved, and mailed out, have not received it in the mail, btw, I did not sign up for email alerts either.......but SOOO glad i kept calling........... I am waiting to update my timeline until I have the actual date on the paper...

WHAT NUMBER YOU USE FOR CALL USCIS???????????????

My fiancee tried to call this number "1-800-375-5283" but she told me she could not talk to anyone!

But there are several menus but could not reach a real person "

What number did you use?

THANKS!

CONGRATTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTS!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hi guys,

So I still haven't heard anything from the USCIS regarding my K1 fiancé visa.

My NOA1 was received August 9th, it is now January 3rd and I still haven't heard a word.

I hear I am able to contact after 5 months to check the processing of this application?

It was sent to the Texas Service Centre and forwarded to the California Service Centre after the NOA1

Please help... I'm going crazy!?!?!

I'm in the same situation!!!!!!!!!!!!

My NOA1 is August 18th / California!

My fiancee is pregnant and my daughter will be born in seven weeks.

I'm going crazy with all this! :crying: :crying:

Hello Friends,

Could someone tell me what is the phone of the California Service Center?

Thanks!
