    Info about where to file is stated on the USCIS website https://www.uscis.gov/i-129f. You send everything as one file, so everything goes to the same address. Once the I-129F is approved USCIS will send it to NVC who will send it to local embassy/consulate (in your case Rio Brazil)

     

    File Form I-129F at the USCIS Dallas Lockbox facility:
     

     

    • For U.S. Postal Service (USPS):
      USCIS
      P.O. Box 660151
      Dallas, TX 75266

      For FedEx, UPS, and DHL deliveries:
      USCIS
      Attn: I-129F
      2501 South State Highway 121 Business
      Suite 400
      Lewisville, TX 75067

    Keep in mind, you can't marry your GF and then bring her to the US on a I-129F. In that case you'd need I-130.

    If you do go the K1 (I-129F) road and marry her in the US after she has the visa, keep in mind she won't be able to leave the US at least 4-6 months after filing AOS/EAD/AP.

    Thank you for the information and the addresses.

    If you get married in Brazil and then file the spousal visa, I-130 is the form, so read and study those guides here on Visa Journey as well.  This is what my husband and I did because he wants to work as soon as he gets here, hopefully later this year, as our I-130 just got approved two days ago.  With the fiance visa, K-1, you file the form and supporting documents and wait, then after approval (10-12 months), she comes to the US where you get married, but she can't work or leave the country for 5-6 months and you also have to file AOS (Adjustment of Status) which takes more than a year to get a green card.  We decided that I-130 was superior for so many reasons, so I suggest that you take a look at that and compare them before deciding on which way to go.  Getting married in Brazil as a US citizen is not easy either, it took us five months to get all the documents certified, translated, filed, etc., before we could marry in Brazil, but we wanted to do it in his hometown with his family so it was the best option for us despite the longer wait for the CR-1 visa (14-16 months) vs. K-1 (10-12 months).  Good luck!

    Thank you for the information! We considered actually getting married in Brazil instead then applying for the K3 Visa instead. I will definitely look into both options. Thank you again!

    Hello all,

     

    I have read most of the guides on here and I am so new at this that I just have a few questions about addresses to put on the forms.

     

    Background: I am a US citizen who met my girlfriend who is Brazilian. She currently resides in Brazil and we are planning on getting married and having her come to the US. She lives in Goiania and will be hopefully doing her interview when the time is right in Brasilia. 

     

    I am active duty military stationed in Tampa Florida and was confused about some of the following addresses: 

     

    On the 129-F Cover Letter: US Citizenship and Immigration Services [ADDRESS OF FILING LOCATION]    

    Would this be where I am sending the packet? Or a place here locally in Tampa? 

     

    For the Fiance letter of intent for: US Citizenship and Immigration Services [ADDRESS OF FILING LOCATION] 

    Also would this be a place in Tampa or the Dallas address provided in the guides? 

     

    We have filled out most of the required paperwork, I just wanted to be sure about all of the addresses before I get the entire packet ready to send of. Thank you in advance for the assistance.
