    I thought you were an immi lawyer? But either way, if the OP doesn’t want to believe answers given on an immigration forum, then perhaps a lawyer consult might be a better idea.

    For what? Sorry but it’s not clear what you were expecting to happen? As @Boiler said, applying so soon after a refusal isn’t a good idea. Leave it a year or two. i’d also research really carefully before you apply again. Find out the exact offences you’ve been convicted of, or admitted to. Because non dwelling burglary could be up to 10 years in prison, or could be a much lower punishment, depending on the exact details of your crime. I think you need to look into that before you decide whether to apply again or not. https://sentencingcouncil.org.uk/guidelines/non-domestic-burglary/ Also, how long ago were these offences committed? If they were recent, then pretty much no chance, and that’s another reason to leave it as long as possible before reapplying.

    Nope. You’ve been given the answer by an immigration lawyer above. But if you don’t want to listen to the advice given then why bother posting on a forum? Arrange a paid consultation with an immigration lawyer instead. Good luck to you.

    Perfectly normal. It can take 2-3 months, so don’t worry at all. Good luck.

    Make an appointment to apply in person. I didn’t think they were sending them out automatically anymore, thought that stopped last year.

    My biggest bit of advice would be to not overthink it, and don’t stress. Your relationship is legit, so all you need to do is be respectful and polite, make sure you take everything required (sounds like you’ve already got that covered) and just answer any questions honestly - definitely don’t practice questions as it’ll sound staged! Good luck.

    That's perfectly normal, it's 90 days from when you arrived in December, so you still have a way to go before it's outside of normal processing times. Keep an eye o the status and it'll tell you when it's in production. Good luck.

    Which family member did you file for?

    Hopefully not too much longer then, if you're DQ'ed in the next week or so then fingers crossed they'll have their visas by summer. Best of luck!

    Ah. I see. Yes, NVC does tend to be tougher. Can you not order certificates online from Brazil (I have no idea, haven't looked at the country specific guidelines for there)? If not, then I guess I'd submit the Polish ones but just be prepared for them to possibly be rejected - but worth trying that first if the Brazilian ones are a big hassle/cost to get.
  31. appleblossom
    No worries. I assume your wife has her original marriage/divorce certs from Brazil, so just I'd submit those to be certain. Good luck.
  32. appleblossom
    "Primary evidence for a petitioning spouse is generally a civilly issued marriage certificate from the country where the marriage occurred" - https://www.uscis.gov/policy-manual/volume-4-part-c-chapter-4 You can certainly try submitting the Polish certificates, but it may just delay things if they'll only accept them from the original issuing authority.
  33. appleblossom
    Did you read the link I gave you? It tells you exactly what is needed for each document. But if she was married and divorced in Brazil, those are the documents you need to provide anyway. Good luck.
  34. appleblossom
    https://travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/us-visas/Visa-Reciprocity-and-Civil-Documents-by-Country/Poland.html "A marriage certificate that only notes the end of a previous marriage is not acceptable for immigration purposes." So no, you can't use that. But if she was married and divorced in Brazil, shouldn't she be submitting documentation from that country?
  35. appleblossom
    Seems like it’s a mailed application anyway - https://travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/us-visas/Visa-Reciprocity-and-Civil-Documents-by-Country/SouthAfrica.html Just in case you do decide to apply. Good luck.
