Docs required for Brazil interview

[perfect 39]

We have all the docs listed on the website! Do we also need to provide copy of petitioner passport, birth certificate, naturalization certificate? My son is also sending his Brazilian fiancée a full copy of the original I-129F petition. Is there anything else she will need for her interview from him? Just out of curiosity, their NOA2 was November 14 - what kind of timescale are they looking at for the actual interview?

1. Two frontal photograph showing both ears (5 X 5cm or 5 X 7cm);

1. Valid passport (at least eight months validity remaining);

1. Visa fee that should be paid at the Consulate's cashier on the day of the visa interview;

1. Form DS-160 filled online. Please print and bring only the barcode confirmation page;

1. Application for Immigrant Visa‐form DS 230‐I (only first page should be completed and signed);

1. Sworn statement (for fiancées only);

1. Birth Certificate (even if previously married);

1. Termination of previous marriages (if applicable) with a simple copy;

1. Police Certificate(s) - In Brazil you need two: from the Federal Police and the State Police (Secretaria de Segurança Pública) with a simple copy;

1. Financial Support - E.g.: Affidavit of Support (I‐134 Form) including supporting documents. (see form instructions for attachments);

1. Sealed envelope of Medical Examination Report;

1. Complete Court Records, judicial situation, including processes in Brazil and in the U.S. (if applicable) with a simple copy;

1. 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.

It looks good! I didn't take any of those US documents you referred to.

You can see the most recently scheduled interviews here: http://www.visajourney.com/timeline/k1list.php?cfl=0&op1=5&op2=d&op3=1&op4=1&op5=5,6,8,10,11,13,14,15,16,17,18,20,21,22,25,26,27,28,108,110,111,208,210,211&op6=All&op66=All&op7=Brazil&dfile=No&adv=0

It looks like a person with an Oct. 15th NOA2 has his/her interview on Jan. 27th, so hers should be on February or March.

Now, personal advice from what I've been going through:

Tell them to try to get her to do the medical prior to the interview so that she can take the exams with her. Mine were misplaced and my visa is late. It's hell trying to get answers from them. And don't buy tickets until you have it in hand.

Good luck!

Thank you so much!

Sorry to bother you, but since you're Brazil too - do they need just one year of tax returns or the last 3 years?

No problem! I only got one year.

As far as I understand, tax returns are not even completely necessary, just recommended.
