@roddiesho Not to be too negative, but maybe you have too many insurmountable problems? Why solve any of them? Can you just live in a small town without documents? A friend lived in Brazil for five years on a tourist visa. He paid a fine when he left the country. He received a new tourist visa the next year.

@alan279 Ah! One of my favorite quotes is "Sometimes I believe in as many as six impossible things before breakfast." from the Alice in Wonderland movie.

My wife often makes the Impossible Possible. I once stood beside her at a neighbor's townhouse while a work friend of my neighbor聽 was telling us how "!impossible" it was for our neighbor to get into her house, she mistakenly locked. He had his chest puffed out and was in mid-sentence sayng why we could not do it, when my wife took out her American Express Credit Card and slipped it into the lock and opened the door BEFORE he finished his sentence.

So the update is that We now have an appointment with the Federal Police to be granted 60 days to go to the USA get any necessary documents and return.

My big question before I go is what documents I will need. It is very possible that I need a New Birth Certificate apostled as well as my Name Change apostled.聽 Of course we are now talking about MD. and Massive Snow Storm School and Office Closing R.I. (ouch) and of course the Brazilian Embassy in Washington, D.C. It can be done, but it will be a very precision exercise.

Your wife is the best!

This is a complete do-over, so

1 , Register your marriage at the Brazilian Consulate General in Washington DC.聽 Your wife does this, but you can help her pull the documents together and can be present.聽 Here are the consular instructions:

They will issue you a Certid茫o Consular de Registro de Casamento which will be the only marriage document you need to submit to the Pol铆cia Federal, and to the Cart贸rio to register your marriage in Brazil.聽 It's an official Brazilian document, so it doesn't require an apostille.聽 Get multiple 2a Vias -- the consular officer will issue them at the same time as your original.聽 Make sure that you have US Postal Service Money Orders to cover the fees.

2 . Get a VITEM XI visa.聽 You can start the application before you have the Certid茫o for your marriage, but the Certid茫o should be complete before your appointment for the visa.聽 Here are the requirements at the Brazilian Consulate General in Washington, DC:

Special considerations:

• Contact the Consulate via email to ask how to deal with your name change. I hope that they'll just want the official proof of the name change, although they MAY want you to have the state issue a new Birth Certificate with the new name.聽 Whichever approach the Consulate takes, the PF should follow.
• Have several originals of your new FBI Background Check, and several originals of your Birth Certificate (the one that the Consulate will accept) in hand.聽 Have one of the FBI Background Checks and one of the Birth Certificates apostilled for the PF.聽
• If the Consulate accepts the official proof of your name change without requiring a new Birth Certificate, have an original of the same document apostilled for the PF, too.

Your wife is the one who HAS to be at the Consulate to register your marriage.聽 Your own presence is optional, but I would urge you to go:聽 seeing her with an actual husband will be evidence to them that everything is ok, and it will let you get familiar with the layout and some of the people there,

It's unclear to me whether you'll need to go into the Consulate at all for your visa.聽 It looks like it will be all by mail.聽 But yes, if you have to go in for any reason, it would be a good idea to go together.

Remember, after you return to Brazil on your new visa, you'll still need to go to the PF as soon after your arrival as practical to register for your CRNM.聽 That experience, though, should be totally different from your last one.

@abthree Well, I started out that way, but got held up with the "Authenticator App" which they say I picked two years ago. Luckily they had a human phone agent, so I will be good in 24hrs., but it was a good idea.

Roddie in Retirement

@abthree Hopefully the Brazilian Consulate won't be suprised that she is married to a husband that looks so young and handsome, with a very full head of hair.

I will be there to meet my wife. She has so much to do here in Brazil. My mother is still being cared for at 97, while her father is in Hospice, so it will be a very short trip where she will go up and back almost immediately, with stops just to go to the Brazilian Consulate and see our daughters new majestic apartment, While I will travel around and get my documents and storage stuff.

@roddiesho Are you sure you want to become legal? And deprive everyone here of the opportunity to make up stories about Roddie the secret 暗网禁区? We could make you infamous! You could be the bank robber that was never caught. Or a secret deposed dictator. We could dine out on the stories about you for weeks. 馃榾

@alan279 I am prevented from replying in Witness Protection. Sorry.

Roddie in Retirement

@roddiesho Witness Protection or NDA from your lucrative book contract? 馃榾

@alan279 I have actually never had an NDA, but one of my best friends and other senior Radio Account Executives did have NDA's when they left one of the top radio stations in the DC/MD/VA Metro.

@roddiesho Did they have non-competes too? Just curious. Non-competes may be coming to an end soon.聽 Sorry, off topic.

@alan279 Since you are on-line I actually started to do my homework early and I know where to go, how long it will take and how much in R.I. (Birth Certificate) and Washington, D.C. (Name Change). The challenging part is if I want more than a copy, like a certified or apostled document. In DC this could take 6 wks. and involve lawyers.聽 This is what abtree says.

Contact the Consulate via email to ask how to deal with your name change. I hope that they'll just want the official proof of the name change, although they MAY want you to have the state issue a new Birth Certificate with the new name.聽 Whichever approach the Consulate takes, the PF should follow.

Have several originals of your new FBI Background Check, and several originals of your Birth Certificate (the one that the Consulate will accept) in hand.聽 Have one of the FBI Background Checks and one of the Birth Certificates apostilled for the PF.

If the Consulate accepts the official proof of your name change without requiring a new Birth Certificate, have an original of the same document apostilled for the PF, too.

PS. So this sounds tricky, because RI. and DC will be done BEFORE I get to the Brazilian Consulate.

Roddie in Retirement

@roddiesho I was thinking that the time required for the various certifications, translations and apostilations might be a challenge聽 to accomplish on a quick trip to the US.

@roddiesho And, of course, if anything unexpected goes wrong, then what? can you stay in the US for a while? Or do you have a hard PF deadline to return to Brazil? Sounds complicated to me. How much can you get done from Brazil?

@alan279 I just got up from a mid-day nap, but in a way it refreshed my view. The two accomplishments I am looking for is my marriage with my wife at the Brazilian Consulate and bringing my You Tube equipment in storage back to Brazil. That I am sure I can do.

As far as the "certifications, translations and apostilations" my job will just be to get a recent copy of my birth certificate and name change. The only challenge will be if somehow that stands in the way of what we do at The Brazilian Consulate (which, I hate to throw mud at my one an only, however I know of numerous times I went there and to the Brazilian Embassy to sell the Pao de Queijo Queen of the Nation's Capitol's offering....if only I knew in the 23 years we lived there that I just needed to do this back then).

Anyway, I have enough faith in my video skills that I can make some money, if not a lot of money with my channel. I just need to get started and then if I still have to finish this up while I have some bank, then so be it.

@abthree Thanx, I think I mentioned a long, long time ago that I was in charge of the FBI Background Check and Fingerprinting and my wife was in charge of the Marriage Documents.聽 Well while this Marriage Bagunca has been going on my FBI Background Check and Fingerprinting have been done, completed and collecting dust since March 2032.

@roddiesho You may recall my recent debacle. Getting my marriage and divorce documents in Ilh茅us took many weeks. Then my fianc茅 discovered that her divorce from 20 years ago wasn鈥檛 official and would take two months to resolve. Bureaucracy saved me from a piranha. 馃榾

@alan279 But the point I was trying to make is that anything can go wrong. My divorce document was rejected by the US Consulate in Rio in 2005. It wasn't a certified copy. It actually was the original divorce document I was given by mistake. The bureaucrats were quite embarassed. I paid the air fare to retrieve the proper document, no FedEx, DHL or UPS deliveries accepted.

@alan279 Sorry me and the Misus went to Camocim to get her Sorvete Shop Ice Cream and for me to get groceries. It does sound complicated.聽 I hope everything was resolved.

Roddiesho has bought property in Brazil, to my recollection. So he needs to sort out all these triffles and stay legit in Brazil.聽

Yes, dealing with Attorneys and Public Servants in Brazil is a never ending nightmare.聽 Everyone, when not carrying out tasks dilligently, has their hands on your pocket, and often not to deliver expected聽 and agreed upon results.聽

I think I overstated the magnitude of these issues ad nauseum through several posts in this very forum.聽 And there is not a single way to get around this.聽 People who managed to accomplish all of this unscathed, often do at expense of money. There are beaks to be eat, or favors to be called in.

There is a reason why 暗网禁区 consultants will rather choose to steer clients towards聽 shit kicking third rate countries instead of Brazil.聽

See, that's short term thinking.聽 A person with an outlook and able to evaluate character, would say to herself... " This might be a swell lad, worth the longshot for a steady companionship... I will bid my time on him, and stay on point. "

Assuming, there is, you are that kind of a guy ( nothing personal ).聽

It looks to me as she was more of a Wham Bam Thank You Maam kind of a gal.聽

@alan279,@abthree Glory Bee EXPAT.COM BrainTrust. I have some unbelievably Fantastic News. Barbara, who really seems to know her stuff, @ Vital Check in Rhode Island said that my Birth Certificate, the same as my Passport should carry my legal "they call me Roddie" name which wipes out any documents needed on the name change etc. Just a simple Birth Certificate and the suggested VITEM XI. The rest I already have.... @alan279...No one needs to know my previous life ha, ha, ha.
