Thank you for the the direct response! Greatly appreciated 🙌🏻

Hey everyone,

 

I got an email from the NVC on Tuesday with our new case number. It looks like we can start filling out the DS-160 now. Is there anything else we can/should be doing now, like the I-134F, or is it suggested to wait for our case to arrive at the embassy in Brazil before we begin other things?

 

Thanks!

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.

For additional information on the Immigration Visa process and required documents, please refer to your letter or email or visit the Consular Section Website at https://ais.usvisa-info.com/en-BR/iv/information/iv_overview.

 

Brazilian Visa applicant(s) under the age of 14 and Non-Brazilian Visa applicants under the age of 14 do not need to appear in person at the Applicant Service Center (ASC) appointment however they must attend in person the Consular Section interview. The parent must bring the minor child's documentation including a printed photo (A 5 x 5 cm (2 x 2 inches) colored printed photo, taken within the last 6 months and with white background. For additional instructions on photo requirement for the US Department of States, please visit https://travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/us-visas/visa-information-resources/photos.html to the Applicant Service Center on behalf of the child.

The Brazilian interview requires all documents presented at the interview to be originals. The I-134 does not require a "wet" signature.

 

Rio gives you the option of mailing your passport/visa back to you after the interview, or pick it up when it is ready. The mailing option takes about 14 days and I have seen that sometimes it takes more. So we signed up to go pick it up when ready... IT TOOK 2 DAYS for the passport to be ready for pick up!!! This is a huge help since we are in a time crunch!

is I-134F electronically submitted at one of the gov sites, or is it something that my fiancé will take with her to interview?

thanks in advance

It's filled out by you and you include the following supporting documents and then scan and email to her so she can print off everything for the interview.

 

EVIDENCE OF SUPPORT. You should be able to demonstrate that you will not become a public charge or be a burden on the U.S. taxpayers for financial support. A completed I-134 Affidavit of Support Form (https://www.uscis.gov/i-134) K1/K2 Interview Preparation Instructions – English (February 2014)  Page 3 of 9 with an original signature will be useful to the consular officer to evaluate your petitioner’s ability to be financially responsible for you. You should also submit your petitioner’s most recent U.S. Federal income tax return (Form 1040) and wage statements (Form W-2). Employment letters stating salaries and bank statements may be included to substantiate the I-134. Get the IRS transcript in place of the actual 1040 here: https://www.irs.gov/Individuals/Get-Transcript Use this link to determine the income levels needed https://www.uscis.gov/i-864p.

Thank you very much for all of this helpful information! I have a question about the I-134F. I am starting a new job in a week and a half. My salary is going to be well above the requirement for a household of 2, but I likely won't have more than maybe 1 paystub by the time we have our interview. I graduated college last year so the W2 from my prior job shows less than the required amount since it was only showing salary from June-Dec of 2018. I was going to have my dad as a cosponsor just in case since I am going to be so new to this job. Do you think it would be a good idea?

Each embassy is different. Most look at your current income and with your new job that will look good. Will it be enough? No one knows with any certainty how the CO will view it.  Having a sponsor in your back pocket wouldn't hurt. Co sponsor fills all forms that you do and submits the same supporting documents

On a whim, I called NVC and they received my file just today. No case number assigned yet.

[oflyingbunnyo 119]

Hello beautiful people. 

Just wanted to update over here that we called today once again and we got our case number, according to the Julian calendar, it was assigned on the 10th too. 

Best of luck to everyone out there! 

[oflyingbunnyo 119]

Completely out of topic question, but does anyone know how I can hide my signature? 

It's getting kind of bothersome to look at with all those bunnies haha.

In my "buckle up" post I offered to help you with a copy of the P3 for your embassy. I have most, a few I don't. Whatever I have, I would be happy to share. Just make a request and I'll respond with what I have. Good luck on the rest of your journey.

Can you share the P3 for Bulgaria if you have it? Thank you. ☺️

[Kev&Iri 10]

@Greenbaum also if you have copy of the P3 for Belgium embassy. Thank you very much!

(from a PC)

 

Click on your username in the upper right hand corner.

 

Click Account Settings

 

Click Signature

 

When you signature pops up, highlight it and then click the spoiler button (the eye).
 

Spoiler

 

Your signature will then look like this.

We got our case number on the 9th, and checked the case number on https://ceac.state.gov/ceacstattracker/status.aspx and it's already in transit! I was surprise i thought we would only get it in transit by the 23rd. Also, I had to check it as "immigrant visa" to find my case on ceac? Else it would say that its an "Invalid Application ID or Case Number" I thought K-1 visa was an Non-immigrant visa? -confused-

That is normal.  Once you're done with the interview and if approved, it'll change to NIV then your Visa will be issued.  Good luck.
