Here on this website it suggest using a separate sheet to describe how we met in the last 2 years. I put a short description in the blank. Will someone please tell me if I need more detail? Thanks in advance.

We met on the internet, and after much communication,discovered we had a lot in common. We then decided to meet in person. I obtained a visa to go to Brazil, and lived in the same apartment for three weeks with my fiancee.

You don't necessarily need additional details and the way you have explained above is enough and you are good to go. I have read on vj here about people using one line of description and they were approved with no problem whatsoever. Good luck

Did you include the dates you spent together? Like add I went to brazil on blah blah and spent 3 weeks, and when you became engaged. If your able to cover your story there its perfectly fine.

Being succinct with your wording is just fine. Personally, this is what I did for our petition. The only difference is that I did include the dates of when we met and when I first went to Sao Paulo.

Good luck.

P.S. You have F-1 Visa on your information, but it appears you are filing for K1?

Additionally, Texas Service Center does not adjudicate K1 petitions. You send your petition to the Lockbox and they forward the petition to the appropriate service center. You will receive a notice of action telling you where your petition went to.

Please update the information as erroneous information leads to bad statistics here on VJ. The tools here are designed to benefit the users. They are only as good as the input.

I have some information in my signature regarding Brazilian K1journey. Feel free to peruse.

Best of luck with your journey..!

Boa Sorte...

you need to provide dates and be more specific. include when you got engaged too. no need for a long paragraph. a few lines will do as long as its specific and to the point.

Be succinct, but add in some dates.

Remember what the form specifically asks for, and what is required for you to be eligible. You have to have met at least once in tha past to years. That box gives you the opportunity to briefly describe how you met, when you met, who you met. You MAY attach a sheet if there's not enough room to explain, or if you want to create a timeline. Just make sure that you include when, where and who in date/year. Your evidence(passport stamps for example) will be the proof to support your story in that box.

For USCIS (petition) purposes, a brief description that fits into the #18 box is fine. Thinking ahead to the consular phase and the country in which the beneficiary will interview for the visa, it could be crucial to front-load your USCIS petition with additional information about the bona fide nature of the relationship. Ecuador can be one such place, and Vietnam and China may be two others. I have not heard that Brazil is particularly suspicious of most petitions that they receive from USCIS.

Brazil is straight forward. Just meet the requirements. We have a full review of our K1 interview. The consulate in Rio allows the petitioner to be in the small room for the interview. I was fortunate to be there. It is not required however. The interrogating officer did ask me some questions.

All in all, a very straight forward process as described here on VJ.

P.S. We did not front load our petition.
