Approved! But will this silly mistake cost me?

[Alex & Stela 6]

Okay, so we recently were NOA2 approved yesterday, September 17.

Our VSC NOA1 was June 26th and we were transferred to TSC on August 9.

Turns out that I didn't make an exact photocopy of the packet, and sent some originals.

And, stupidly, for some of those originals, I don't know the exact dates I wrote and signed them on.

(Stupid, stupid stupid.)

If this is of any consequence, here's some information from the embassy in Rio we'll be going to:

"Rio does NOT send packet 3 anymore.

They will send you a letter containing the date of your interview and the list of documents you should bring the day of the interview. You can also check this list on their website.

If you do not receive a letter after one month of your NOA2 approval, send an e-mail to the consulate inquiring about your interview date."

List of documents for the K-1 Fiance(e) Visa:

1- Two front view photos (name printed behind) (these passport pictures needs to show the ears;
2- Passport (at least eight months validity remaining);
3- Visa fee paid at the Consulate on the day of the interview;
4- Form DS-230 part 1(duly completed and signed) (All K visas);
5- Two forms DS-156 (electronically filled out with bar code and signed);
6- Form DS-156K;
7- Form DS-157 (for those over 16 years old);
9- Sworn Statement (avaliable on the website);
10- Birth certificate and copy (even if previously married);
11- Divorce decree and copy (if applicable)
12- Death certificate and copy (if applicable)
13- Military service and copy (if applicable)
14- Police Certificate and copy (Secretaria de Segurança Pública)
15- Police Certificate and copy (Polícia Federal)
16- Police Certificate from other countries and copy (if applicable)
17- Affidavit od Support
- Form I-134 signed
- USC's latest federal income taxes,
- USC's proof of current job and
- USC's proof of citizenship or greencard
18- Medical Exam (sealed)
19- Complete Court Records, judicial situation, including processes in Brazil and in the U.S. (if applicable) with a simple copy
20- USCIS/DHS processes/records (e.g. deportation proceedings, voluntarily removal, change of visa category processes, petitions or hearings before immigration judges, asylum papers, etc.) with a simple copy.

I don't see a copy of the petition anywhere on the documents they ask for.

There's a couple of them where I'm close to 100% sure what the dates are,

so I may be able to get the dates to match, but the signature is a different story haha.

In your opinion, will I run into any issues?

Well, we applied a long time ago in 2009, but the original application was never requested. The consul already has everything you submitted. You will want to update your letters of intent and provide new relationship evidence such as emails, etc. Did you submit original documents that you might need later like an original birth certificate? Or are you just worried about the forms you filled out and signed? In my opinion, you will be fine. Hopefully someone who interviewed recently can tell you more. Also, I have noticed a large increase in the number of interviees that are not approved right away for the visa due to not having the fiance present. Even though the website does not show that as a requirement, I suggest that if at all possible, you both go to the interview. Good luck!

Thank you for your input

The only originals sent were forms, nothing needed later like birth certificate/etc. Seems like I'll be fine.

I'll be joining her for the interview, most definitely. Gives me a chance to see her family sometime around the holidays, as well.

'brigadão, menina.
