[clamardo 8]

Hi everyone. We have been approved on October 30th but nvc still has not received the package. I am wondering if I can go ahead à fill out the ds 160 for sao paulo embassy in Brazil or I need to wait until I get the case number? If someone  from Brazil can help, i will appreciate. Thanks

My lawyer had both of us write up our own letter of intent and sign it. However it is always good to get the actual hard copy with the original signature. He had my fiancee send his originally signed letter of intent through the mail, he would not let him email or fax. Because that would be a copy. Which makes sense that the government or USCIS would want original signatures. It sounds like you may not have sent in the original hard copy with your fiancees signature? That may be an issue but I don't know. Going forward I would highly recommend if anything needs a signature make sure to get the hard copy which means they need to mail it back to you.

Yes, I probably got that template letter  from someone else post. I should just have followed visajourney template letter :(. Meanwhile I cross my finger that the scanned copy passes, which I think should, another rfe will just kills me. 

The intent to Marry letter can be a copy, meaning if it has been faxed or scanned and emailed it is acceptable. It's not a legal document. It's here in the USCIS regulations.

 

"A signature is valid even if the original signature is later photocopied, scanned, faxed, or similarly reproduced. Regardless of how it is transmitted to USCIS, the copy must be of an original document containing a handwritten, ink signature, unless regulations or the form instructions state otherwise. USCIS will not accept signatures created by a typewriter, word processor, stamp, auto-pen, or similar device."

Anyone else compulsively checking the USCIS website? I'm anxious for an update of any kind.

You should become familiar with your country's sub-forum here on VJ to get a better understanding of the process for the Embassy that you will be interviewing with. This will allow you to get direct answers from those who have completed the steps you are about to take at the US Embassy - Brazil.  Sub-forum for Brazil is located here: http://www.visajourney.com/forums/forum/96-mexico-latin-south-america/

 

This is the Packet 3 (P3) letter from your Embassy.

There is a lot of information on the Embassy for Brazil here https://br.usembassy.gov/visas/frequently-asked-questions-non-immigrant-visas/

 

A thread were a lot of chatter about the process for the Brazil Embassy and interview

Many of our answers are predicated on the information you supply in your profile. When we look at the left column and can't determine your timeline or your Embassy it's hard for us to give you a factual answer. If you look at the profile of others here, they have a flag for their country, so it makes it easy for us to reply as we can quickly determine your Embassy. Our answers will sometimes be tailored to a specific Embassy hence the reason for you to complete your profile.

 

So, if you could help yourself out and complete your profile that sure would help us out when we want to reply to your question with factual information.

 

Go to the top right of this page select your name (it's on the upper right-hand corner)>my profile>[below your picture on the right column] edit my profile. Scroll to the bottom and fill in "Immigration Info". There now we can better serve you.

 

Thanks

We had it 8 days later. Also just saw it on the new nebsite, the old website never updated about the rfe, only when we sent it back, both said that it is received.

Thanks for update your profile. Now I can help you.

 

The PSA in the Philippines is notorious for misspellings and missing information on birth certificates. You should look over your BC to make sure everything is correct as well as your passport. Now is the time to get that corrected. You might want to get a copy of your NBI to see if there are any problems with it. Again, now is a better time to get it corrected if you find something wrong. Be sure to use all your AKA's when they do the search. Make sure your passport doesn't expire any time before a year from now as this is a long process and you could be running around getting a new one at the last minute. So get it renewed if it is expiring in 2019.

 

Also, there is a sub-forum for the Philippines here on VJ that you should be a part of. It's a good place to read what others are experiencing which will only prepare you for your interview.
