Brazilian Fiance in Paris

[JohnDonne 0]

My Brazilian fiance wants to move to Paris while she waits for the K1 to come through.

Does anyone have any experience with living in one country and being a citizen of another?

Are the K1 packet 3's pretty much the same everywhere?

Not sure about the first part but on the packets:

Brazil doesn't send a packet 3. They will send her packet 4 which is just a letter saying her interview is on XXX, go to this website to see what you need.

Here is the site for what packet 3 'would' be if they sent it: http://brazil.usembassy.gov/interview/forms-for-fiancee-visas.html

Website stated in consulate letter: http://www.embaixadaamericana.org.br/index.php?action=materia&id=2417&submenu=rio.php&itemmenu=86

Both sites are the same essentially, one is just in english and the other portuguese

Paris could be easier, depends on where you want the interview.

Well here is the answer to the first question...It's ok to live in a place where you aren't a citizen. My fiancee is a filipina living in Singapore and we went through the whole process and she got her visa yesterday. It did not cause any problems.

Secondly all the embassy's are a bit different so the main forms in the packet 3 should be the same but there might be some different instructions. If i had to venture a guess though, the embassy in Paris might be easier than the embassy or a consulate in Brazil.
