eu nao sei. Onde nos estamos???

Hehe I think I said that right. My wife is trying to teach me a bit of Portuguese, but I'm not sure how much of it is getting through my thick skull. Hehe

Breezy "Say Nao"

Rich "Now"

Breezy "no NAO"

Rich "now"

Breezy "not now, NAO"

Rich "I thought that's what I said???????"

Breezy " "

hahahaha first time posting here, from Rio de Janeiro Hey everybody

LMAO that's my man! ...

Carol: "Say não"

Matt: ''Now''

Carol: ''noo, NÃO''

Matt: ''now''

Carol: ''yea good enough, but its NÃO''

Matt: ''I SAID THAT!!''

Carol: ''No you didn't but fine "

it's the accent, makes it hard lol

Glad I'm not the only one Carol. I tend to mix up "mas" and "mais" and other words that are similar as well. The worst was when I tried to say "Lets go get some drinks" and I actually said "Lets go have a baby". I didn't realize my mistake until she answered "Someday babaca, but not today"

I would hate to think I was ordering bread in a restaraunt and have them bring out a stick

<it depends what kind of "stick"they'd wind up bringing u lol>

kkkkkkk

I had a coworker who would pick on me if I said something wrong in Porkandcheese so I use to say this to embarrass her at the padaria:

Este pau tá duro! Tá machucando minha boca!

For what its worth for English speakers:

Pau: you can saw this like "Pow"

and

Pão: can be said like "Pown" with some nasal emphasis, the key to a lot of PT words is to close your mouth at the end of the word.

THAAAAT'S what I try to explain to my american love! lol but I guess the accent makes it harder, idk.. lol good explanation though.. I always try to use similar words in english to make him understand the words in portuguese.. it's hard, our language here it's complicated.

LOL But he can say eaaaasily GUARANÁ! He loves it! He's crazy about the soda and lol can pronounce this word damn easy and never forget

Tô na área! hehe

Olá a você, você, você, você, você, você, você, você, vocêeeeee!

Pessoa prazer em conhecer todos vocês!Eu sou novo aqui no VJ - E eu a minha noiva estamos iniciando o nosso processo I-129F

Na próxima semana ela (minha noiva) vai despachar isso para a USCIS. Mas não faremos isso até notificar que está tudo correto!

Eu gostaria de algumas informações de quem já passou por todo esse processo e conseguiu seu visto aprovado e hoje está com o amor da sua vida!!!

Me ajudem também a estar com ela e com o meu filho (a) (Sim, Ela está grávida de mim - VOU SER PAIIIIIIIIII!!! "CONFETES")

Minha primera dúvida central é: Se dermos início neste processo agora em agosto é possível estar pronto em fevereiro?

Porque fevereiro? Porque é a data quando meu filho vai nascer, e perder o nascimento seria algo muito cruel e triste mais do que perder a gravidez.

Essa é a pequena dúvida, eu sei que isso leva muito tempo e incerto o tempo. Mas eu gostaria de ler algo realista mas que nos dê confiança!

Minha segunda dúvida é: É necessário enviar as provas do nosso relacionamento nesta petição I-129F?

Provas que eu digo são: ScreenShot (Facebook, Twitter, Orkut, LiveMocha, Emails (Gmail), Skype, Messenger, Cartas, Despesas do Hotel, Fotos juntos e com a família, Passagem aérea e o visto que ela esteve no Brasil com a estampa Brasileira. Isso mostra a linha do nosso relacionamento e comprova a solidez dos mesmos. É necessário enviar junto com a petição? Se enviar isso é vantagem ou desvantagem?

Eu acho que essas por hora são as minhas pequenas dúvidas.

Parabéns!

You need to send documentation that you've met - her visa stamps from her passport and a photo are sufficient for this, and anything else (including any ultrasounds she may have before you submit your documentation!) will be gravy.

As for the amount of time, that is hard to predict. According to the graphs from timelines people have submitted, it looks like the I-129F stage is presently taking around 80-120 days. After it goes through the I-129F stage, it takes about 18 days at NVC, 6 days to the consulate, and 39 days until the interview. All in all, it's presently averaging about 213 days, or just over 7 months. The time from the I-129F stage til interview is pretty consistent, that's about what it was when my husband's petition was going through in 2009/2010.

If she has the information to send, she should do it NOW. I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but depending on where your fiancee lives (as the location the petition is processed at depends upon location), you may not be here in time.

Leonardo, if at all possible, I would seriously consider trying to get a tourist visa to visit your lady around the time of the birth. It's really hard to say when your K1 will be approved, but February is cutting it a little close. My wife's visa went reletivly smooth and start to finish it took nearly 10 months. You can try to make things go faster by making sure everything you send in is perfect, but it's still going to depend alot on the caseload of the USCIS. My wife and I became good friends with the people who work at the USCIS and the Consulate (we called alot. She had to call consulates in Europe as well as Rio regarding her police records) Maybe pestering them helped. It seemed like everything something seemed to be taking too long one of us would call the consulate and 3 days later our things were ready for the next step. Your evidence should be good if you send in what you described above. Just make sure you have 4 or 5 photos of you and your fiancee. I wouldn't send in less, and I think sending in more is frowned upon too (everything has to fit in your file). It's a long hard journey, but well worth it. Good luck

Meh, photos are overrated for the US side and pretty much unnecessary for the Brazil side. We only had 2, one for each trip I had made to Brazil. The rest of it is more important - things like my passport pages from the visa/entrance/exit stamps, hotel bill showing both of us being registered, a boarding passes from either MIA->SSA o SSA->MIA, atm withdrawal slip from Brazil, the itinerary for the next trip (or the fact that she's knocked up). And they weren't OMG fabulous photos, they were crappy laptop cam photos, and we were just heads in one of the photos.

BTW, if she gives birth in Brazil, make sure you remember to file the "child born abroad" stuff with the US consulate, so your kid gets citizenship and you don't need to screw around with immigration for him/her.
