Hello,
1*** I am a dual citizen (Brazilian/American) and moved to the US for College, got married to an American girl and now live permanently here in the US. We want to visit family in Brazil often however we will not be living in Brazil. Can my wife apply for a permanent visa as being my spouse? Or do we have to show that we plan on living in Brazil? Is it better to just get her a new tourist visa instead?
2*** I have not declared our marriage to the Brazilian consulate and at this time I am still "single" according to Brazilian government. If my wife can't get a permanent visa in the event that they require proof that we will be living in Brazil (which we won't), would it even make sense to declare our marriage status to the Embassy? Would this be beneficial for either of us in any way?
Thank you.
