Hello VJ,

I got an email from the consulate saying that my interview is scheduled for NOV 27TH. I cant wait!! So excited but nervous at the same time. Now trying to gather all of the documents needed. I'd like to know if that's really everything I need. Here on the VJ''s website, they mention some other documents that the consulate does not request like BIRTH CERTIFICATE, DS156, DS156K, DS157?

Here is the list from the consulate:

Passport (with at least 8 months of validity remaining)

Fee

Photo

Medical Exam (submit to the doctor your Interview Confirmation Letter)

DS-230 (fill out just part I)

DS-160 your interview will be rescheduled if you fill out the form incorrectly and/or incomplete

Police Certificate from the Federal Police

Police Certificate from the “Secretaria de Segurança Pública”

Sworn Statement

Poverty Guildelines

Form I-134 - Instructions

Proof of Relationship between American citizen and fiancée

We can no longer accept the fee payment through credit cards. Therefore, on the day of interview, all K visa applicants must be prepared to pay the US$ 240.00 visa fee at the consulate cashier in dollars or the equivalent in Reais in cash.

thank you!!

Hi, congratulations on your interview! You're right, that list is incomplete. You should review the "Fiancee Visa (K1/K2) Applicants Instructions Package," which is available on the consulate's website, http://brazil.usembassy.gov. You will definitely need an original or certified copy (and one simple copy) of the beneficiary's birth certificate. The specifications for the birth certificate are in the Instructions Package. Form DS-160 should be submitted online in advance of the interview, and you will bring to the interview the confirmation receipt page that you receive when you successfully transmit the online form. Forms DS156, DS156K, and DS157 are no longer used.

You'll also need a simple copy of the petitioner's proof of U.S. citizenship (birth certificate or passport) which is submitted along with the Form I-134. If the petitioner or beneficiary has been previously married you will need originals and simple copies of the termination documents of the prior marriage(s).

We had the medical exam in Rio, and it will be submitted directly to the consulate by the doctor's office. You'll need to check with your examining doctor to see how his/her office handles that matter.

Good luck!
