PLEASE HELP W/ Questions & Concerns

[JODi * DOUG 1]

Hey Everyone =)

I feel like Ive been posting so much these past couple weeks lol but I hope you guys can help me with a few other questions i have.

Our I-129F petition was approved a few days short of a month ago and my fiance already got the email confirmation saying his appointment is on April 16th. We definitely are nervous since he still needs to do his medical and were not expecting to get an appointment so soon. Basically we've been doing everything to put things together so we don't have to risk rescheduling.

I am currently in Brasil with my fiance for almost two years now and my fiance will be using a co sponsor since i am currently unemployed. I have emailed back and forth with the embassy (which to my surprise answers very fast in case anyone from Brazil wanted to know, If i sent an email at night the next day they had replied), and they told me i need to write a letter stating the reason why i am currently unemployed and need to fill out a support form so my side is covered, but i wanted to know if i got everything together for my brother who will be the co sponsor.

-Proof that we are related and he is a US citizen (he was born there) such as copy of birth certificate and does he need all pages of his passport as well to prove citizenship?

-Statement from employer on showing:

1. Date and nature of employment;

2. Salary Paid; and

3. Whether the position is temporary or permanent

-3 most recent pay stubs

-Copy of the last three years of taxes (2013,2012,2011)

-Copy of W2 forms from his jobs

and does he need....

-Statement from an officer of the bank or other financial institutions with deposits, identifying the following details regarding the account:

1. Date Account Opened;

2. Total Amount Deposited for the past year; and

3. Present Balance

(if he needs this how does he go about getting this, does he just go to one of the desks at the bank and sit down and talk to someone and ask them to write something or does he have to talk with someone higher up in the bank)

He also has assets such as his condo that he owns and at least three or four motorcycles

How does he include that stuff, does he just list on the I-134 form or does he need to include proof, if he needs proof what type of proof would that be??

Other then the co sponsor, I have some concerns of my own. Being i have been in Brazil so long Im nervous about them asking me to prove i have residence there (back home in the U.S). Should this even be a concern???

I had moved in with my father a few months before i came to Brazil but all my mail goes to mothers. Such as bank statements which if i chose to do everything online it would never get sent there but she prefers i get hardcopy of everything , and school information i have listed under my mothers address. I never cared to change it because its my mothers house and with mail issues i feel better having it to go to my mothers. For my college I listed her address from when i registerd and never cared to change it since they barley even send anything. Other than that I don't get any important mail. When i did everything with USCIS i put my dads address for mailing address because i didn't want it to be a confusion.

Is it necessary for my father to write something saying i live with him and don't pay bills or rent so they wont think money is an issue?

I also am currently unemployed but a full time student, do i need to get anything from my college for my fiance to bring to the embassy or does that not even matter? If so what should i get?

My brother works for a company that he said he can get me a job there for when i return with my fiance but i don't know if its worth it for me the us citizen to bring a potential letter stating i have a job offer if I'm back by XX date making XX amount. I'm scared there going to say for me to return home work and then have my fiance return with pay stubs or something. I don't want to return without my fiance when we've come so far and are so close to going back together. . . .he even said he can get a job for my fiance in which he could get a letter written up for him. He speaks perfect English (its better then his Portuguese lol)so getting him a job isn't an issue. I'm just nervous about them thinking hes going there for work, but the job he would get the employer would write he cant work until documents are received and he is legally able to.

As far as the co sponsor my brother is well over poverty level and owns assets, so I'm praying having a co sponsor wont be an issue, from what I've read here on visa journey the American Embassy in Brazil are not hard on people using co sponsors as long as all the proof and paper work is there

I forgot to add, I've heard of people having there co sponsors fill out not only the required support form but the one that would be used for AOS process to show for any reason the co sponsor is willing to sign again, is this necessary for my situation or the Embassy in Brasil??

Sorry for the long post, but my mind is going in a million different directions and you guys are always so helpful and keep me calm lol, i truly appreciate the advice/help

GOOD LUCK TO EVERYONE!! =)

It is hard to have so many things running through your mind at one time.Maybe narrowing down the post with what the exact questions are will get better attention.

I am not tha familiar with the K-1 process but I have that the I-134 affidavit of support is not as binding as the I-864 so they may be curious to know how you plan to support your spouse when you guys move back to the U.S.

Also since you have been in out of coucntryu for that long , are you required to show proof domicile?

Thanks so much for the reply! =)

Sorry if it seems confusing lol, after posting I realized that I put so much in one post.I never heard of proving domicile but Its just something that came to mind, I wasn't sure if anyone had any idea about it. I probably am thinking way more into things than I need to but then on the hand you never know with the embassy.

I have heard some stories where embassy's have been more accepting to people who are full time students who are not employed at the time. I was wondering if i have my co sponsor fill out both of the forms even though the one used for AOS wont mean anything right now, but will show he is willing to support all the way if needed.

I think I need to revise the post and break up into separate posts to make it easier to respond to
