My fiance is a citizen of Brazil and she just had her interview at the consulate in Rio. The CO asked for documentation relating to my child support. I am concerned because 6 years ago I was involved in a work related accident and was out of work for 3 years. During this time I accrued arrears in my child support. Aside from this period of time I have never missed a payment prior to the accident or in the 2.5 years I have been working after the accident when I was finally able to obtain work again. I currently am paying back the arrears that has built up and likewise have not missed a payment. I am concerned about any possible problems this arrear may cause. Would this be grounds for denial of the K1 VISA? Thanks,

I'm never absolutely sure about things like this, but I would have to guess absolutely not. I doubt it would even be an issue if you just hadn't felt like paying and didn't. Due to the nature of the situation, however, I can't even see it ever being brought up. They need to know that you make enough income per year, but they don't delve into what your actual bills are. You should be fine. :) M.

PS...to the above poster...care to explain or are you just trying to needlessly scare someone?? Sheesh.

I can't see why child support arrears would be a problem. Really it shouldn't be an issue as all they need to know is that you can meet the poverty guidelines :thumbs:
