Does anybody can help me. I need to know, How long until they confirm me about the fiance Visa? From the moment I apply it and then how long until they giving me the notice about if it was approved or not? Thanks!!!

It varies based on how busy the service centers are that process the fiancé(e) visas. The first stage (the petition, with USCIS) can take between 2 and 5 months - more if you get a RFE (request for further evidence) or more. The second stage (the visa, with the Dept of State & the US Consulate in Rio) will also vary, but typically, from your NOA2 approval date, it will be about 6-8 weeks. (L was an exception, but that was mostly of our choosing - his original interview was within that period.) So, overall, 4-7 months would be a good estimate from the application until the interview, and it can be a week or two to get your passport back from the consulate if the courrier is backed up.

the question posed by danimatt didn't include many specific details which are quite pertinent to her case. this thread will indicate where danimatt is at and the process she is undergoing.

as i understand the situation, she is already here in the usa and therefore isn't eligible for a k-1 (planned marriage this dec), unless she foregoes the marriage and returns to brazil.

Olá, meninas!!! Há quanto tempo!! Já tinha saudades.

Estou de volta para o ROC, e espero ter o bendito cartão verde de 10 anos em breve. Entretanto arranjei um bom emprego, finalmente, e vou ter em Março um luso-americaninho

Desejo MUITA sorte para todos os que ainda estão à espera dos seus vistos.

Abraço

We sent off the N-400 for my husband yesterday .

My husband took and passed his U.S. citizenship test yesterday! One more (soon-to-be) dual Brazilian/American citizen.

Congratulations BoraBora! I STILL haven't applied for mine! So many things that I needed to get done that I just couldn't spare 600 bucks for it yet. Hope to get it going sometime soon though.

Thanks! Really the only reason we applied now was because we're moving to Brasilia in a few months and I wanted him to have citizenship before we left the country indefinately. I don't want to have to worry about a green card/residency requirements. And now knowing we won't have to deal with immigration anymore is a relief.

Citizenship is now almost $700 .

Congrats to your husband, bora bora! I hope you enjoy your time in Brasilia. Have you begun your application for the VIPER visa yet? How's that going?

We just got back from registering our marriage with the consulate & transferring L's election title. I'm happy to say that while my Portuguese is still not so great, it was good enough that I was able to take care of the marriage registration stuff (while L was working on his election title stuff) entirely in Portuguese

Nice K! Keep working on it! Luis was also able to understand and speak Portuguese and registering our marriage this weekend at the Consulado Itinerante in Little Rock. Also transferred my title and renewed my passport. Was very glad they came around to get stuff done without going to Houston.
