All I want is to re-unite with my beloved wife and to establish permanent residence in Brasil with a minimum of separation and expense.
We married on March 11 2014 in Las Vegas within the jurisdiction of the Consulado General do Los Angeles California. My wife's sister (Brasilian national) witnessed the ceremony.
My wife is currently in Brasil. I am considering this option:
The Brazilian wife travels to Los Angeles and accompanies me to the Consulado General in Los Angeles to register the wedding provided the following documents are presented.
1) marriage registration form duly filled in and signed by the Brazilian wife.
2). Passport of the Brazilian wife to prove identity.
3) Passport of the Brazilian wife to prove nationality
4) Passport of US husband to prove identity.
5) Valid long form of birth certificate of US husband. ( I was born in Los Angeles County).
6. Declaration signed before the Consular Authority stating that " I the foreign party have never been married and divorced a Brazilian national before the present wedding.
We intend to apply for my VIPER in Brasil.
In addition to the above documents I will submit the following before the Consulado General in Los Angeles:
1) local police (within jurisdiction of L.A. Consulado) criminal check issued within 90 days.
I question, Have I forgotten anything else that must be authenticated or legalized by the Consulado General in Los Angeles prior to travel to Brasil. And can this be a one day trip to the Consulado, or is it a lengthy process time.
