Hey everyone. Thanks for the attention, first of all.
Secondly, obviously I won't be going into details about any of what I do. But, you know, like the title implies there will be mentions of +18 topics so please keep that in mind if it makes you uncomfortable.

With that being said:
I'm in a bit of a situation here!
Me and my fiancée have been in the process of filing for a K-1 for quite some time now.
We have received the NOA2 and are on the process of preparing for the interview process. However, I have been having some issues filing the DS-160.
See, I work with providing Adult-Oriented Commissioned Digital Artwork. Pornography. Straight up no ifs or buts. VERY kinky at that.
For the last couple of days I have been having trouble figuring out if that would be an issue during the interview process.
I know I need to inform the Consulate of my main source of income, and this is it! I draw. But I have no clue if this is something that would be considered undesirable for the interview process. Or even downright illegal, I have been having a lot of trouble determining where the U.S stands when it comes to pornographic digital artwork being illegal.
I am going to provide them with my socials (which will be damn awkward I am sure) but what can I do? I use Twitter to advertise myself, I need to give them my Twitter profile both for the sake of it being a social platform I use and also part of what makes my job work.
At least, that is what I think I need to do...
Frankly, I wouldn't really know what to do in case it is something that will get me denied from the Visa. Because this is what I do for a living, there is no way around that. And I don't think lying will get me anywhere.
 
I think I am just asking to know what I should be prepared to listen from the consulate?
Is it okay to inform them what I do for a living in this case?

I do know that under 18 content is strictly illegal and it is the same here too. I don't work with anything like that and never will. I am mostly just afraid about +18 stuff and how that would be viewed in the environment of the interview, you know?
 
Admittedly, not being able to work is a downside because I would like to be able to help out the household financially as soon as I arrive. Of course I would like that, but it isn't the case! If I have to wait, I have to wait.
We are accounting for and prepared for that downtime when it comes! Until I can actually work, I will not do anything of the sort.
It's ok, it gives me plenty of time to refine my cooking and cleaning skills haha

Depends entirely on the nature and subject of the images, but I think you know that.
 
K-1 isn’t a great option for you because you will not be able to work for up to 8 months when you arrive.

In the US, creating images that some consider obscene or pornography, is completely legal and is protected by the 1st Amendment of the Constitution.  There are numerous court cases that confirm this, including the US Supreme Court.  A simple Google search will put your mind at ease about this.  Child pornography is illegal in the US and could get you in big trouble after you arrive, or could cause a denial of your K-1 visa.  If none of your digital images depict children you should be fine.  I suggest that you describe your work/career as a "digital art creator."  The officer doing the interview in Rio will most likely not even ask you about it.  They will be more concerned about the circumstances of how you met, how many times you have been together in person, ability of your petitioner to financially sponsor you, and your past US immigration/non-immigration visa applications/history, if any.

Thank you so much!
 
Yeah, I get you... The thing is that I REALLY want this, you know? I really want to be with my fiancée and I just get very anxious at the thought that I am doing something wrong.
I just can't seem to find any certainty on the legality of it, but if it is legal, then I will continue to press on
Thank you again, hoping you have a good day!

I'm still fairly new to all of this, but if there is one thing I've learned from everyone here on VJ, it's to be completely honest. As far as I know you're not doing anything illegal and it's how you make your living, so there's no way to avoid it. I think your best bet is to be completely open and honest about it, and if someone is uncomfortable about the images, that's on them! Good luck!!
