DTM-USA

Hi I recently had my interview for my IR2 visa at the US consulate in Rio De Janeiro, if you guys have any questions please don't hesitate to contact me I will answer as soon as I can. And yes my case was expedited.
 
 

Just keep in mind that it will be a very long time before you can work or come back to the US if you need to leave - 8+ months, if not longer.

Was she born in wedlock? https://travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/legal/travel-legal-considerations/us-citizenship/Acquisition-US-Citizenship-Child-Born-Abroad.html
Child Born Abroad in Wedlock to a U.S. Citizen and an Alien
  A person born abroad in wedlock to a U.S. citizen and an alien acquires U.S. citizenship at birth if the U.S. citizen parent has been physically present in the United States or one of its outlying possessions prior to the person’s birth for the period required by the statute in effect when the person was born (INA 301(g), formerly INA 301(a)(7)). 
 
For birth on or after November 14, 1986, the U.S. citizen parent must have been physically present in the United States or one of its outlying possessions for five years prior to the person’s birth, at least two of which were after the age of 14.
 
Or out of wedlock?
Child Born Abroad Out-of-Wedlock to a U.S. Citizen Mother
  A person born abroad out-of-wedlock to a U.S. citizen mother between December 24, 1952 and June 11, 2017 may acquire U.S. citizenship under Section 309(c) of the INA if the mother was a U.S. citizen at the time of the person’s birth and if the mother was physically present in the United States or one of its outlying possessions for a continuous period of one year prior to the person’s birth.
 
In light of the U.S. Supreme Court’s decision in Sessions v. Morales-Santana, 582 U.S. ___, 137 S.Ct. 1678 (2017), a person born abroad out-of-wedlock to a U.S. citizen mother and alien father on or after June 12, 2017, may acquire U.S. citizenship at birth if the mother was a U.S. citizen at the time of the person’s birth and was physically present in the United States or one of its outlying possessions for a period of five years, including two after turning age 14, in accordance with Section 301(g) of the INA.
 
If she was born a US citizen (per the above info) then she can get US passport, Certificate of Citizenship (backdated to the day she was born), or both: https://www.uscis.gov/policy-manual/volume-12-part-h-chapter-3
Application for Certificate of Citizenship (Form N-600)
A person born abroad who acquires U.S. citizenship at birth is not required to file an Application for Certificate of Citizenship (Form N-600). A person who seeks documentation of such status, however, must submit an application to obtain a Certificate of Citizenship from USCIS. A person may also apply for a U.S. passport with the Department of State to serve as evidence of his or her U.S. citizenship. [31] 
 
A person who is at least 18 years of age may submit the Application for Certificate of Citizenship on his or her own behalf. If the application is for a child who has not reached 18 years of age, the child's U.S. citizen parent or legal guardian must submit the application. [32] 
 
USCIS will issue a proof of U.S. citizenship in the form of a Certificate of Citizenship if the Application for Certificate of Citizenship is approved and the person takes the Oath of Allegiance, if required to do so. [33] 

Is your daughter also your wife's biological daughter? If so, does your wife not qualify to pass down US citizenship?
 
Or is your daughter just your wife's stepdaughter?

Yes. I-864 is filled out by the US citizen. In general, send the following six packets (*note that I-765 and I-131 packets are optional, but highly recommended) in the same envelope to the Chicago Lockbox:
I-485 with I-130 receipt notice for you, I-864 and supporting documents, I-944 and supporting documents, electronic I-94 copy, filing fees, etc.; I-765 with electronic I-94 copy, etc.; I-131 with electronic I-94 copy, etc.;  
I-485 with I-130 receipt notice for your daughter, I-864 (not needed if your wife is the biological or legal adoptive mother; if so just select box 62.b. on page 14 of I-485) and supporting documents, I-944 and supporting documents, electronic I-94 copy, reduced filing fee for concurrently filed child case, etc.; I-765 with electronic I-94 copy, etc.; and I-131 with electronic I-94 copy, etc. You'll separate each packet with rubber bands or fasteners: https://www.uscis.gov/forms/forms-information/form-filing-tips
On the I-485 packets, I-485 payment method (check, money order, or Form G-1450) must be the very first item of those packets.

Given what you have described, it sounds to me like doing AOS makes sense. Overstay would not be an issue as you’re immediate relatives of a US citizen, but there doesn’t seem any obvious reason for you to go back to Brazil to await visas - and my understanding is that rio is still totally closed and not issuing anything other than emergency visas anyway? 
 
 

The visa extension process is pretty useless because it supposedly takes 7-9 months to hear anything back and by then your visa is expired and you've overstayed. Any idea when you expect interview in Rio de Janeiro? 

Options are to either apply for AOS and essentially restart the process for a visa OR you and your daughter return home and wait for the interview. 

If I where you, if you are in the US, adjustment of status would be faster than the consular processing. With the pandemic there are tons of cases at NVC/consulates, siiting there ... so will not be fast....

Hi, folks! I’d like to share some info about our case. My wife is the US citizen petitioning for me and our 3yo daughter. We’re also waiting... My case became DQ on 05/15/20. Our daughter’s case became DQ first, in 2019, with an interview date scheduled for February/20, but we decided  to cancel and wait for my case in order to do all things together. And the pandemic came and stopped everything. We were in Brazil in March/20 when my wife received a job offer so we came with her to the US in April. We’re are here since then... In July we asked for an expedite but was denied. So in August we decided to ask USCIS for an extension of stay until March/21 (with no decision yet). We even thought to withdraw and enter with the adjustment of status but now with this great news about the resuming of the interviews we decided to keep waiting instead of starting another process. So, that’s it! Fingers crossed! 🙏🏻

We got DQ!
Wife and daughter both approved.  No RFE's for I-130 or NVC.  Thanks to those that helped with questions along the way!  Hopefully with Vietnam being virtually COVID-free (no new cases for 45 days) they open the consulate and start scheduling interviews.  Might be home for Christmas!
 
Priority date July 22, 2019 Nebraska Service Center
I-130 approved March 24, 2020
NVC submitted documents May 15, 2020
DQ June 1, 2020

This has been talk ed about a few times (including by me lol). Basically, the tracker sucks. As long as CEAC shows that you've submitted its fine. The tracking site will only update again after NVC accepts the documents/gives you DQ.

I am new here, but I think everyone would appreciate knowing that NVC is still working. I submitted documents for my mom’s case on January 15 and got the DQ email this morning.

It's our 2 year anniversary and we got DQ today!  Submitted February 3rd!

Amen!!! 38 days today since second submission. The same docs were used for me and our little daughter. She got DQ right after the first review... And I had to submit it again. 🤷🏻‍♂️  Really waiting something good this week. God bless us all!!! 🙏🏻

Hi! We used our money savings. Got a declaration from the bank account manager and translate to english. Also sent a copie of the most recent statement. With this we got the doc approved without   any issues. 👍🏻

NVC too unpredictable... I know several JV members who have submitted documents in November without expedite and received DQ within days and weeks...and some individual prior to this date and have not received DQ.  

we finally got DQ dec 13 here, we had to resubmit Nov 14 (a proper police certificate was needed) 
 
 
we had been stuck at nvc since april with constant resubmit notifications. so glad to finally here some progress 🙌
