Either way, a K1 submits NOTHING with the AOS application other than a photocopy of their copy of the DS3025 Vaccination Record.

Just double checking that I understand this...

Ok, so my fiance was NOT given a copy of the DS3025.  Everything was put in a sealed envelope and sent to the consulate for his interview.  He even asked if there was any document that he needed to take with him and the doctor said no, it was all in the envelope.  He was only given a shot record from the clinic showing what vaccines he was given that day (the 4 that are required).

So we need to get a copy of the DS3025 from the doctor in Brazil to send in with the adjustment of status application?

Ok thanks. I’ve sent them extra documents through email too and I haven’t heard of them receiving it... they gave me up until August 13 to provide more documents so I am wondering if they’ll notify me then. 

I wouldn't wait until that deadline. I would contact them as soon as possible to make sure they received the documents.  I happened to be dealing with the consulate in Brazil.

Where did you send your documents through? An email or DHL? And when you called, which number did you call? 

I sent them via email and I contacted them via email. I didn't call them.

So we had sent our additional documents June 4 and I received an email stating they were received

We heard nothing from them and I waited the 60 days (that I read about somewhere but don't remember where now) and contacted them asking if there was anything else needed and when we might expect an answer.

They replied saying that they never received the documents.  🤦‍♀️

Resent the documents last Friday, received another email saying they were received Monday and got a phone call from them today saying they were getting ready to approve the visa.  My fiancé has also received an email asking that he send in his passport to receive the visa.  He insists on hand delivering it!  lol

So two months of waiting for nothing, basically, but everything is finally resolving!  No more Now we can !

I am a US citizen and am appalled that they suspect of me being a fraud. Just because I was born with a midwife in the 90's. BUT MY WHOLE FAMILY ARE CITIZENS.

They gave me an email to which I have to send MY proof of citizenship. NOT through the DHL.

So I'm wondering if anyone has had a similar case as me?

If so, how long did the administrative processing take?

 

 

I happen to be a midwife. In Texas. This happens a lot actually. I get two to three requests per year from children or parents of children who were born at home trying to obtain a passport or even RENEW a passport they already have and they are told that their birth certificate from the state of Texas isn't enough proof.  The federal government demands a certified copy of the birth records as well.

 It seems to happen more often to people who have a Hispanic last name or who have one parent who is from a foreign country. And ONLY to those who were born at home or in a birth center in Texas.   This all started years ago when some midwives on the border falsified birth records.

Get a certified copy of your birth records from the midwife who attended your birth and make sure you have the long form of your birth certificate.  Do it quick because birth records only have to be kept until the baby turns 21 (in Texas).  The midwife may still have them. 

If you have those two things you should have the proof you need.

We are in AP as well, almost two months now. We didn't have all the documents at the interview so we had to send a couple of other documents they requested.  They gave my fiance his passport back at the interview.

I'll be emailing Aug 4 (60 days after documents were accepted) to check on things, but will definitely be making a plan B as well.

They gave my fiancé his passport back with a 221(g) also.  We submitted the documents and it has been in administrative processing for a little over a month.  The last update was June 25. 

Update after visa interview on May 7:

Medical exam completed (over a month and a half after seeing the dr.) and additional documents submitted.  Finally.  Waiting on Administrative Processing. 60 days until we can inquire began Monday.

Not sure how things will go from here because they gave him his passport back after the interview along with the request for more documents.

Glad that things have gone smoothly for almost everyone else.  That's what we expected, too.  Such is life.

For a K1?  Technically he doesn’t need any vaccinations for K1, only for AOS

They told him he needed MMR, Varicella and flu vaccine.  

Well, IF we get to the point of AOS he should be in good shape.

There are some concerns that the Dr is dealing with and trying to determine or make sense of what he is seeing.    The old exam provides a baseline of what was seen at that date.     The medical exam and Consulate Interview has an intention to disclose all history to the petitioner and also to gain awareness around what medical care is needed in the US.    Be patient as best as possible as this blip may be a good thing.    Keep positive.  🙂 

Then I wish the doctor would clearly express those concerns to my fiance so that we can make a plan to deal it!  He is stressed out to the max about this whole process! 

So the latest in the saga:

Backstory - Fiance had his medical exam in late March or early April at the doctor in Sao Paulo.  Thought everything was taken care of on that point. Bloodwork, X-ray, one vaccine.  Nothing further was said or provided. 

Biometrics appointment on April 30.  While he was at the appointment he received a call from the doctor's office:  "We made a mistake. You need three more vaccines." He went and paid to get three more vaccines.  

So...

This past Monday, after (finally) getting the additional documents requested by the consulate, and preparing to return to his hometown, the doctor's office calls again:  "We need a copy of the sonogram you had on your liver two years ago."  He says they asked him during his exam if he had ever had health problems and if he had an exam of this type in the past.  He had.  All was normal.  End of questioning.  No mention was made at the time of needing another sonogram or wanting a copy of the old one. 

Now, over a month later they want this information to be able to finalize his medical exam.  

🤬

Nothing in this process is going the way it should.

I understand now.. But don’t have this document on the website and also I never see the people’s saying to take this document. It’s the first time. 

 

Can he send the document for e-mail or “Correios” to the embassy in Rio? They said will need new interview? 

No, they don’t have it on the website and they SHOULD.  And yes, we can email the document to them.

HE told me that they said he would have to return for another interview.  But I’m not sure that’s right.  The interview is done, they asked him the typical questions. And CEAC says the visa is in Administrative Processing, which is correct since they requested further documents.  So, I think one of two things will happen:

a) they will get the document from him and either approve or deny the visa, OR

b) they will get the document from him and the visa will sit in administrative processing until who knows when (as has happened to others).

If by chance he does have to return for another appointment, you can bet your sweet bippy I’ll be there.

it’s understandable that they asked for it if the docs provided were not enough to satisfy their requirements. It’s a setback but it should be resolved, unless this is really serious and has to do with CIMT crimes.

I agree. Completely understandable in this instance. And no, it’s not serious. Nothing that should get him denied based on what I’ve read on .gov websites.  No jail time, not a federal offense, no drugs, trafficking, or moral turpitude. 

Ah. I got the correct term just now:   “Certidão de Objeto e Pé”.  Apparently it is a part of the “Certidão Negativa da Polícia Estadual” if there was a criminal action listed.  He did tell me of a case that was filed against him.  He went to court and the case has been resolved for some months now.  I'm guessing that's why they want this.

If you speak Portuguese:

Certidão Negativa Criminal na Justiça Estadual

ATENÇÃO: não deve ser confundida com a Certidão de Execuções Criminais.

Esta Certidão deve ser emitida obedecendo aos seguintes critérios:

• ser de ações criminais (certidão “criminal” ou “penal”);
• referir-se ao Estado (Comarca) onde reside o pesquisado;
• fazer referência a Juizados Especiais Criminais;
• o pesquisado deve ser: i) se processo de pessoa física, o próprio requerente; ou ii) se processo de pessoa jurídica, o representante legal e o substituto imediato nomeados.

Obs.: caso na Certidão constem ações criminais, pode ser também anexada uma “Certidão de Objeto e Pé” para cada ação, capaz de informar quem são as partes, qual o objeto da ação e em que pé está.

A emissão desta Certidão depende do Estado onde reside o pesquisado. Geralmente, ela deve ser solicitada diretamente nos fóruns responsáveis.

(NOTE:  if the Certificate contains criminal actions, a "Certificate of Object and Foot" may be attached to each action, capable of informing who the parties are, what the object of the action is and where it stands.)

So he was told he needed to get a "Certidão negativa de pé" from the State of Sao Paulo.  He says he has never heard of this document.  He went to the forum to request it and they said they would have it ready next Friday.

I'd love to see the stupid form they gave him, but he has to walk to a Lanhouse and pay to scan anything.  And he can't take a clear pic with his cellphone to save his neck.  🤦🏼‍♀️

Take all the documents from the check list on the website and also the documents  You have in the folder there You send when opened your process to visa k-1.

 

Yes, before he left for Rio we went over the checklist on the website together and he had everything.  He wasn't missing any documents when he arrived and arranged his documents per their list at the consulado.  He's on his way back home so I'm still waiting to see what exactly they requested.  

Fiancé had his interview today.  He went by himself. 

He said he saw lots of couples getting approved for their visa and lots of people there by themselves getting denied or being told they need more documents.  From the reviews I've read on the consulate in Rio, if the American goes to the interview, more time is spent talking to them than to the Brazilian applicant. He said when he arrived and said he was there for a K-1, the first thing they asked was "Where is your fiancee?"

Have to wait for him to get home and email me the request form to find out exactly what they want now.  He said it was a document that wasn't on their website and that he had never heard of.

This sucks, y'all.  More money 💸

Just adding my fiancé 's point of view since he went for his interview today, by himself...

He said he saw lots of couples getting approved for their visas and lots of people there alone getting denied or being told they need more documentation.

He was told he needed more documentation.  I'm still waiting to see exactly what documents but it seemed to be related to a police document that he had to get from the cartorio that he had never heard of and that was not listed on the website.

I realize that his point of view is just that, HIS point of view, but it looks like I may be (spending even more money and) making a trip to Rio when we set the next appointment.  

Welcome to the US! And Texas!

Visa Application Status = READY!

Now to schedule the interview...

Also you mention two fees one 670 And 600 .. so total was 670 or its seperate? 

I'm also interested in the answer to this question, since I am paying for my fiance's expenses in this process.

Our case is currently in transit. He plans to have his medical exam in São Paulo as well.

What does it show when he tries to click on it? My fiance tried it a few days ago and was having trouble with the system also. He had to clear his cache and restart the browser and it started working again.

It doesn't show anything. Literally, the page doesn't change.  I'll mention clearing the cache. He tried to sign on his computer and then went to a L A N House to try there. He even tried on his phone.
