Greetings Latin American travel forum.

This is my situation. I am looking for insights and accurate
information. I have been in Brazil during 2010 for 4 and 1/2 months,
having been granted a three month extension at Federal Police in GIG
Airport in Rio (this didn't mean they gave me a full 180 days with 90
to be tacked on at the end of when the first 90 days visa would have
expired, although I wish it could have been). Anyway at three months,
I got engaged to my Brazilian boyfriend, the love of my life. Then I
went back to the states, in my benefit, as I learned in order to get
us married in Brazil, I will need to take certain documents of mine
(birth certificate and divorce sentences (decrees) to be legalized at
the Brazilian Consulate, (which in my case, is in Chicago) in order to
apply for the Intent and License to Marry over in Brazil. Does anyone
know if there are any additional things, such as a non-criminal
history record (I know how to get this at a police station where I
live) Are all of these items and any others? to be translated in
Brazil? Or do I get them translated before I send them to be legalized
at the BR Consulate in Chicago, USA? I am a bit unclear as to where to
Notarize them, but before sending copies to the BR Consulate in
Chicago I would get the copies notarized and send money order or bank
check? $20 fee for each-so far this is the instructions I have per BR
Consluate webpage and US Embassy Brasilia).

This is the second question related to my situation. Now that I was
told by calling and asking the Consulate in Miami (the only one that I
got through and numerous emails remain unanswered, btw) that I must
follow the rules of the Tourist five year multiple entry 90 days Visa
which I have in my passport. I will return toward the end of this year
and therefore, not oversay a total of 180 days; then we get married
around New Year's or, as soon as all the Intent to Marry (30 days wait
time for this to be posted is case someone objects) and Marriage
License is granted, and go to get these done at the Cartario in Rio,
pay a couple hundred R$ in fees, and have my documents translated
properly (if I am correct, they get translated in Brazil). Q. Will
there be a problem if my passport with the five year BR Visa, expires
in April of 2011. (I would want to renew it at the US Embassy with my
new married name, if at all possible)??? Does anyone know if it is
just better to renew in the US, and also to avoid a problem, such as
they don't let you travel if your passport expires in less than 6
months?)? Would the change of name and marriage status affect a new
passport?

FYI, We plan to live in Rio, and worry about his US visa when day
comes.

Please if anyone in this forum can contribute helpful information, I
would appreciate it.
