flipside

I provided both proofs, as my consulate is the type that likes to see everything in the clear before the interview.

Hmm Thats news to me. Where did you get that idea?

i dunno, but holy ####### could you have a bigger font??

Well, I suppose if you can afford to come here in the first place, you can afford the $100.

It's not just $100 for brazilians, it's $100 for everyone.

have you checked the guides?

I would think that would fall on the travel agent, at least to remind the person they need a visa. Jeez, every time I book a ticket to Brazil, from where ever, (internet, agency, phone) I always get asked if I have a visa.

The instuctions and forms you will need will be included when your fiance receives packet 3.

.. and you can contact the Colombian consulate here in the US to get her a new passport issued in her married name.

I'm sure Guangzhou has it. The problem is that is in a big pile of things they need to get to. The only thing you can do is wait and keep calling them.

Are you the petitioner or the beneficiary? If your the petitioner it doesn't really matter... If you're the beneficiary you bet get a new one ASAP.

The property you own in Brazil won't have any benefit, positive or negative with your k-1 visa.

If you're worried about tickets with the car, sell it to your father, or transfer it to his name.

As far as apt's and houses, there's no reason you should have to sell them. You don't have to prove you're not going to come back. You also won't lose what you own, they're yours!

Well, theory and reality are two different things

Don't forget the time it takes to get a social security number. It could take up to a month. You can't work without that either.

The only *proof" that you need to send with the I-129F is that you met within the last 2 years. Phone bills, cards, emails and chats do not prove this. Boarding passes, ticket stubs, and stamps on a passport is the proof that you need to send, and only copies are needed.

All that other stuff will be needed at the interview to provide proof of ongoing relationship.

Its my understanding that you are allowed to posses only one vailid visa at a time.

He can work all he wants.. He can't legally work until the EAD arrives.

"friend"

right...

Be leery of advice of this grave nature being given out on the internet. The safest thing for you to do is consult with a qualified tax professional.

It's my understanding that you have to report all worldwide income, regardless of the source. You will most likely qualify for a tax exemption because it was your personal property of more then 2 years, which is exempt from capitol gains according to US tax law. But this is mixing up 2 different countries tax rules and the best thing for you to do would be to discuss it with your accountant. Getting burned on it later for not reporting it correctly could be quite costly.

Laura & I are getting married in Vegas too. Thanks for the info and keep it coming!

The requirements depend on the consulate.

Doesn't surprise me in the least. Just like others have said, having a relationship on the internet, then actually having to live together are two different things.

If those stats are correct, it could also prove just how many of these are immigration fraud, and why those of us who are legit have to jump through hoops.

I just dont get the "see a pretty picture on the internet and pick out a life partner" mentality.

He will be arrested and put in jail upon his arrival in the US.

april fools?

parking tickets will have no bearing what so ever...

Can my father (I´m the alien fiancee) write a statement along with his IRS saying he´ll support me as well?

Appart from the affidavits from my fiance and his sponsor?

If your father is a USC living in the US, sure.
