Pretty much. My daughter was born here in Brazil, so we went to the American consulate in Rio and got a CBRA for her. Now she`s considered an US Citizen and doesn`t need a visa, which means she could go to the US with her dad while I`m still here (that`s not gonna happen, though. =P)

This is a very interesting question and I hope the answer is "there's no problem in filing the CR-1 now". I can't see a reason why they denied your petiton. What's wrong in wanting to have your family and friends at the wedding, being part of it, and not just introduce him to everybody as your husband? Sometimes I think they're too neurotic trying to find something wrong in the relationship. My advice is go ahead and get married.

I can say my case is similar. In June last year my (now) husband filed a K1 petition for me, but we were denied because apparently we didn't provide enough proof of a bona fide relationship. That's totally BS. What happened was that by mistake we only sent the USCIS the I-129F; NO G-325A, NO pictures, NOTHING! From what I've read, if the application was incomplete, they would send it back to us so we could complete it and send it to them again, but no, they never assigned us a case #, never sent us e-mails, letters, anything! We called them so many times and were left on hold for a couple of hours, so finally after 3 months an USCIS agent or whatever they're called took our call and told us our case had been denied and that it was "really weird that we never got any response from the USCIS, not even the case #". The funny thing is they took our money, oh yeah, $455 dollars and hopes down the drain. Because of that I spent my pregnancy alone (found out I was pregnant 2 weeks after getting back to Brazil), since I couldn't even get a tourist visa to visit my boyfriend. Of course the consulate would never believe I had intentions to come back to my country. But enough with the drama. =P

My boyfriend came to Brazil in January, we got married and have a beautiful 3 month-old baby girl and we're filing a petition for CR-1 ASAP. He's leaving in 15 days back to the US and I'll just cross my fingers hoping me and the baby will have a snowy Christmas.

Hope everything goes well for everybody who's in the same situation!!

(oh, and sorry by the long post!)

Is it ok that my husband file the I-130 while he's still here in Brazil with me (he goes back to the US in 18 days) or do we have to wait till he gets back there, because of the date? We were planning on sending everything to his parents' house and ask them to put it in the mail for us, so it would be an US mailing address. My only concern is really the date, my husband leaves on the 26th so that's what we put on the I-130 as the last day we lived together, so would it be a problem if the USCIS got the application on the 15th, for exemple? We really don't want to waste any time.

We appreciate your help! =)

normally its form G325. They need four copies of these. Did the petitioner send them in with the form I 130?

Where does it say we need to send 4 copies of each G-325A? I`m confused, because on the I-130 instructions it says one G-325A for petitioner and one for beneficiary.

Thank you all for the answers! It was really helpful! =)

I`m filling out the DS-230 and got stuck in question #32. Ok, so I listed all the jobs I had so far, but I have no idea what to answer when they ask "In what ocupation do you intend to work in the United States?"... Because I lost my job last year when I got pregnant (I was new at the job, so they fired me) and now I work as a full time mom, so I have no idea what my ocupation is going to be in the US. Yeah, I`ll look for a job, of course, but how am I supposed to know in what ocupation? I just want a job that pays me enough to pay my bills and go to school, THEN start my career as a nurse.

I would really appreciate some advice here, because I have the feeling there`s a catch in this question and I don`t want to mess it up. :/

Thank you!

Thank you guys for your help!

Hi everyone, I`m sorry for the possible dumb question but what should I put on form G-325A when it`s asked "This form is submitted in connection with an appication for: Naturalization ; Status as a Permanent Resident or Other: (Specify)" for the Petitioner and for the Beneficiary?

Thank you!

I`m still using my maiden name but now as a middle name... I can do that, right?
