I've been researching a bit and it just seems too easy.

No, if you can live there and file DCF, it is pretty straight forward and takes 3-4 months (after you establish 6 months of legal residency in the country)... Good luck

For some countries you must be a legal resident for 1 year before you are allowed to DCF, my husbands country being one of them.

I wonder if i can file the CR-1 or even the fiancé option , and still live abroad, the problem I would have is proving income, I am about to file my 2013 tax return but i would be abroad for a good amount of time in 2014

I-129F petition approvals, for those chasing a K-1 visa, have been going superfast the last 3 months. If you filed this week, you might get into the fast lane.

Go to,this link and scroll down to DCF i130, it is one year in Jordan and Jordan isn't the only country.

Caught my error, no need to pound on it, I will refrain from DCF commenting as it is not a process I have a lot of experience with.

No worry. We all, including me have been wrong and corrected by others. At least you and I have acknowledged our mistakes.

I know next to nothing about DCF except I know only for Brazil about DCF which is a "closed down" option

I have dual citizenship, (brazil and USA), my fiancé is in Brasil right now and i was going to file the fiance visa etc but it just seems so much easier to move in with her in brazil for 7 months (just to cover my bases) and then DCF, wait the 4-5 or however long it takes to get the visa, and then move back with her, instead of filing the K1 or K3 even and waiting the year essentially it takes for the visa, while living far away from her.

Is there something I'm missing here? Are they generally tougher on DCF filers than outside filers? I have enough money saved up to pay for a years worth of bills, as well as a job in brazil waiting for me, so it wouldn't be a huge hassle, just want to make sure this is the right step before moving over.

Thanks in advanced.

The best way for you would be to bring her on a K-1 Fiance/Fiancee visa for several reasons.

1) it is MUCH faster than CR-1

2) You won't have to find another I-864 sponsor. Your income in the US would most likely be enough and you could be the sole I-864 sponsor. You could not count your income in Brazil to help you.

Accord to http://brazil.usembassy.gov/mobile//reconsiderations.html

...petitioner seeking to file a Form I-130 at the Embassy or a Consulate in Brazil should contact the Immigrant Visa Unit in Rio via immigrationrio@state.gov to request consideration of the request for exception and explain the circumstances in detail. The Immigration Visa Unit in Rio will then relay the request for an exception to the USCIS field office in Lima, Peru, the field office with jurisdiction over Brazil.
