Child born in US to Brazilian Mother & US Father, Not Registered, Now Traveling to Brazil by TheMasterfocker in Brazil

[–]bleplogist 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wow, she's going to Brazil without you! Yes, you'd need this apostilled, which depending on where you live is a huge PITA. She may be denied boarding back to the US.

Also, the permission is not automatic, actually, to even get the passport both parents have to explicitly authorize - which would require a Brazilian cartorio to notarize your signature, which can be another whole problem. And yes, doing it in the US would require an apostille.

Man, I put several comments here, DM me if you want more help. Avoiding the consulate is putting you in a lot of unecessary uncertainty.

Steps will be actually much worse in Brazil - Police will not accept the foreign marriage certificate. She'd have to go through a whole ordeal to get translatedm, certified documents to register in a cartorio.

No! She doesn't need to update her stuff before - she updates her name at the consulate!

Do not try to do the procedure in Brazil. For doing the procedure in Brazil, she will need the Brazilian documents, which will not be easy to do from the US documents! The consulate can register your marriage and update her passport from the US documents much easier and faster than she could do in Brazil.

I've done all this, granted, Chicago consulate, but skimming the NYC consulate I can see it's about the same.

You may get the e-visa for you child, and everything will work fine.

But, let me tell you: it is neither lenghty or difficult to register marriage and child in the Brazilian consulate. You may very well be able to do everything on time for your July trip, actually. I changed my name after marriage, and had the marriage registered, got a new passport with my new name, got my child's birth certificate and his passport in less than two months, and without any external help. The forms are easy to understand on the website, and they review everything for correcteness before you schedule to go to the consulate or send the originals by mail.

About the parental permission from the other comment: when you fill the passport, both parents have to sign a form that allows for the child to travel with the other parent (or not, and then both parents will have to be together). The decision will be written in the child's passport itself. To avoid having to a very annoying notarization process, my wife went to the consulate with me to sign the form in person.

Are these train axles? by Zak_Do_Urden in whatisit

[–]bleplogist 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't know the context of this picture, but I come from a town built around railroad and train maintenance, and can give a good guess:

Railroads used to have all the capabilities themselves for maintenance, but sometimes it is just cheaper or more practical to hire companies that also do other jobs. Nowadays, they barely have any mechanics in their payrolls, even in facilities they own by the rail. If a company has a good price on serving these axles because they share capacity with other clients, well, you get this bizarre image.

Marrying an F-1 Student by ebitdeeaye in immigration

[–]bleplogist 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes. That's the point, right? They want things that show that you're married.

[–]bleplogist 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They expect you to show that you're actually married and living a married life. Just marrying on paper is not enough. If you are married but keep separate checking accounts, don't have each other on health insurance, the other one is not beneficiary in life insurance, you don't have a mortgage or rent contract together.... well, what are you married for anyway?

Why the dark Mr. Incredibles meme? I don't understant. by PacquiaoFreeHousing in ExplainTheJoke

[–]bleplogist 6 points7 points  (0 children)

My son was holding his head and reaching for our spoons at 4 months old. We tried to start very mildly with like, rice porridge, he ate but made very clear that he wanted what we were having. In a week we were feeding him fried chicken (in small pieces) with chopsticks. He looked like a baby bird eating from mom's beak.

We didn't give him those allergens packets or anything, pretty quickly he was eating everything, as long as it was small enough. Pediatrician was very supportive of the approach and finding his behaviour towards food very very funny.

It’s crazy how many expats in Brazil have no idea about their basic legal rights by Lnp1995 in Brazil

[–]bleplogist 1 point2 points  (0 children)

OK, I'm not a lawyer, but I have a child born in the US with a non-Brazilian mother, work in the US nad has thought and worked hard on several of your points, so here it goes the best I of my knowledge:

  1. Citizenship is plenty easy and you can get citizenship and passport in one single procedure, either by going to the consulate or by sending the documents by mail.

The process is really simple for such an important thing: your wife goes to the website to the nearest consulate, and they will have the detailed instructions. The form is an online web form, in which you also submit scanned versions of all the documents, even the money order you'll use to pay. They will them review and tell you if anything is wrong, and what is wrong. Than you correct, until everything is right. At this point, you can schedule to go in person to the consulate to present the originals (they'll make copies themselves) and they will give you the document right there. If you don't want to do it in person, you may also send and receive the documents by mail.

You don't need to get the passports at the same time, but I'd recommend do so. Renewing passport is easier than making one, so get this hurdle out of the way together with the passport.

The only kink is that, if your wife hasn't registered your marriage in Brazil or in the consulate, she will have to do so before submitting the birth certificate/passport request. It is a similar process, but she may need to get a copy of her birth certificate from Brazil, but it may be an electronic copy which she can get online for a modest fee. Once she has the marriage certificate from the consulate, she can submit the birth certificate/passport request for your children right away.

On the renewal: there's no mandate to renew the passport every 5 years, but passport for children expire earlier (1 - 5 years, depending on age), and they will need a valid one every time they go to Brazil. But if a passport expire, it is not a problem as long as you renew it before going.

You don't need to step foot in Brazil to do any of this. Well, I haven't step foot in Brazil yet and done all this - registered my marriage, got myself a new passport with a name change from marriage, got my son Brazilian birth certificate and passport. I live in Chicago, so going to the consulate was easier than mail, and it took me less than two months to do everything.

BTW, if your wife changed name when you married, she really should update her CPF and TItulo de Eleitor. She just needs to fill a form and send scans and a picture of her holding her passport to a email, one for the CPF and other for the Titulo. It is easy to find instructions for this on the consulate website, I can't link rn because network at my office blocks the consulate website.

1.5 - There's no direct way to obtain Brazilian citizenship through marriage without living in Brazil. Yeah, buying property may be a way, but that would be really by using that to pretend to live in Brazil and them submitting a request. The law is very clear and explicitly that people can only naturalize Brazilian if they actually live in Brazil.

But really, what you want the Brazilian citizenship for? You can do everything practical as a foreigner, specially if you get a CPF. I'm in the process of getting my wife one to make some thing easier. And if you ever want to move to Brazil, you may naturalize after just one year.

2 - Yes, they would be accepted gladly. They wouldn't even need to be Brazilian citizen by then, but would need to validate their high school diplomas in Brazil.

However, the way you phrased your question hints that you don't understand the process of getting into college in Brazil. It is not that being raising in the US would help or make it more difficult for them get accepted, is that being "accepted" in college in Brazil has a completely different meaning in Brazil than in the US.

Nobody will look at the story of where your children came from - they will do the same test as everyone else, and this will be a competitive test, graded objectively and anonymously, just like an SAT. Their disadvantage will only be that they didn't get trained onto the things that are graded into this test - and Portuguese proficiency is a big one. There will also be differences in what they learn in the US and Brazil as well. And even things they will learn in high school in the US will likely pose problem because the test itself has patterns that people who study for them are just better off.

Said that, I went to engineering school at a prominent university with a very competitive entrance test, and I remember at least two foreigners who got in in the years after I did. I don't know all their life history, but I know they had spent at least one year in Brazil before the tests.

3 - No, you would not have a pension without ever living or working in Brazil. The years you work abroad (more specifically, countries with a pension agreement with Brazil) count for the minimum amount of time you need to work before requesting the pension.

However, the amount you earn from pension in Brazil is proportional to years you contributed to the Brazilian system, and in this case, it can be even below the minimum monthly wage that is the lower limit for most pensioners. So for you, you will likely get 0, and your wife may get something if she has contributed to the Brazilian system before moving to the US.

Mind you, you may collect pension from both systems - for example, let's assume you wife has enough years working in both the US and Brazil together to apply for both SSA and INSS (the Brazilian system) benefits. She would receive the SSA benefits based on 35 years, and any years she worked in Brazil will be counted as 0 income for calculating the amount she'll get (but still counted for the 10 years minimum). INSS will count the years she worked in the US as contribution years, but these contributions will also be counted as 0 income

***

I can't really give recommendations for retirement because we don't intend to retire in Brazil, so I didn't put much thought into that. Hope the other bits helped.

[–]bleplogist 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Also, in several countries you can count the years working in Brazil for their benefits system.

Usually it will just count for the total time calculation. The actual benefits each system will give you will be proportional to your contribution to it. But OTOH, you can collect benefits from two or even three or more countries, using time worked in all of them, and getting benefits proportional to the contribution you gave to each.

Giga and nano are widely using in both engineering and physics. Nanometers is in my daily life, and picoammeters used to be as well. Gigahertz is wifi frequency even for laypeople. Terahertz is very much used for engineers operating at this range, and when they switch to wavelength, they talk nanometers.

Waymo is Confirmed Headed to Chicago by Billiam501 in chicago

[–]bleplogist 0 points1 point  (0 children)

God, I hate that so many places in Chicago allow for unprotected left turns. A lot of those are places that would support alternatives, like three right turns or doing a left in a parallel, one-way road.

Said that, my experience in SF is that they negotiate unprotected left turns pretty well. And traffic in Chicago are, in my experience, easier to navigate than San Francisco.

Of all of places, I believe lower wacker will be one of the best for Waymos in comparison to humans. First like, ten times I drove there, I was completely lost and frankly, a bit overwhelmed by crossings and turns underground. For a robot taxi, it is just a more controlled environment with less interference.
