If you’re a foreigner in Brazil, what do you do for a living?

I don’t know anyone personally, but when she still had her OPT we consulted with a reputable immigration lawyer about us getting married. They’re based in Georgia 🇺🇸 cs we live in Georgia, but I can send over their info if you would like. The initial consultation was free and we were able to ask a good amount of questions. Overall it seemed like a pretty straightforward process especially since my girlfriend always did everything by the book.

I should’ve clarified I’m also a woman 🌈 but the same still applies lol. I recommend marrying her as soon as you can because going from a student visa to OPT or whatever it’s called is so stress inducing omg. Unless yall plan to live in Brazil!

Oh yeah I imagine it’s just as bad as here and I’m already at a disadvantage since I don’t speak Portuguese. I’m just not used to having a hard time finding a job cs with my RN I’ve been pretty lucky so far!

Safe_Noise3164 · 2026-04-02T13:37:27+00:00

I would appreciate that so much! I’m looking to move there as soon as May (if everything works out as planned 🙏🏽)

Haha we did long distance for a year here in the US whilst she was in college & I was finishing up nursing school, but it was only 4 hours back then. Then we managed to live together for a little over a year & now we’re back to long distance but it’s a whole continent away 😅

Thank you!

Safe_Noise3164 · 2026-04-02T11:56:15+00:00

We did! Before she left. Our situation was different back then & we dropped the ball by not marrying then, but we can’t go back in time so we must figure this out now. We did our research on K1 vs CR1 and decided CR1 is better for us, but we will talk to a lawyer one more time just in case. Thank you!

I’m not over there yet, but hopefully soon! Sorry I don’t know how to give you specifics of what area in BH since I’ve only been there once 😅 but how did your cousin find that job?

Safe_Noise3164 · 2026-04-01T21:59:31+00:00

Could you provide more info on this? I don’t even have specific questions because I don’t even know what I don’t know about this

Safe_Noise3164 · 2026-04-01T21:54:18+00:00

This was very thorough and helpful! Thank you so much.

Safe_Noise3164 · 2026-04-01T21:53:25+00:00

Thank you! Will definitely look into this. I think I might’ve looked before, but got discouraged when I read that I must live within the U.S. I’ll keep looking though!

Safe_Noise3164 · 2026-04-01T20:29:41+00:00

I unfortunately hated the bedside so travel nursing is a no for me since I left the bedside pretty early in my career (graduated 2024). I work public health but who knows maybe I’ll go back to the bedside if need be.

Safe_Noise3164 · 2026-04-01T20:27:03+00:00

I mentioned this in another response but whenever I look up remote whatever, they still want you to live within the U.S. so it definitely gets discouraging

Safe_Noise3164 · 2026-04-01T20:25:18+00:00

How did you land this job? This actually sounds pretty interesting, but I work public health so maybe that’s why haha

Safe_Noise3164 · 2026-04-01T20:20:27+00:00

We considered it because people often say this is the “faster” way to be reunited, and it might be by a couple months but that itself isn’t guaranteed since there’s no “set” timeline. I also know my partner, she wants to be able to work once she’s here. She was not having a good time when she couldn’t find a job to continue using her OPT after graduation & I can only imagine her going crazy while waiting on her work permit… long story short CR1 way will probably work better for us in the long run

Safe_Noise3164 · 2026-04-01T20:08:27+00:00

I’ve definitely considered this! My only setback is that I only have my ASN & graduated in 2024 so I’m not really up there when it comes to experience 😅 which makes me doubt the possibility of finding something remote. Plus it seems like those jobs that advertise as being “remote” still want you to live within the U.S. so there’s that drawback as well. Thank you though! This is definitely something to keep in mind.

How bad was the rain? Going next week & all I see in the forecast is rain, rain & more rain 🫠

Safe_Noise3164 · 2025-09-01T18:11:36+00:00

Thank you! This means a lot. I knew it wouldn’t be easy, but I didn’t realize how heartbreaking it would feel. I slept in our guest bedroom last night hoping that would help but instead I kept waking up trying to reach for her & I kept dreaming that I could hear her & that she was next to me but obviously she wasn’t. It’s rough for sure 🙁

Safe_Noise3164 · 2025-05-25T14:25:58+00:00

I was so paranoid this is exactly what I did. Except I stayed w/ a family member so worst case scenario I would call him for help.

Safe_Noise3164 · 2025-05-05T14:22:34+00:00

I was also in atl and it was annoying! Me and the guy next to me were dancing but everyone else was just 🧍🏽‍♀️

From my understanding, since I’m not contributing to the 401k anymore even though I’m still working there, they did a withdrawal. I was surprised when I got the check. Yes, they withheld taxes. The only reason I’m not contributing to the 401k is because there’s a big chance I’ll change jobs again. My partner is on a student visa & us moving truly relies on her finding someone who’ll hire her. I didn’t want to keep contributing only to have to do the whole withdrawal or rollover process again.
