I have a question. I will be traveling in a month to renew my permanent residency visa in Brazil. My husband and I hope to move to Brazil in a few years. Because I have a young baby staying in the States while I travel, I am making a 24 hr trip there and back just to get my passport stamped. I hope that satisfies the requirement to get back into the country within 2 years.
My carteira is in my maiden name still, but is valid until 2016. I hope I can get a new carteira at the federal police on a later visit. For this trip I plan to take my carteira and my marriage certificate that I will have legalized as a Brazilian document.
I want to know if immigration will accept these documents for travel and that they will renew my permanent visa for another 2 years?
