The correct English word near the end of the above sentence would
be "descent", not "ascendancy". Children are said, in English,
to be "descended" from their parents.

OT --
I'm amused because of a tendency of the three legacy agencies of the INS to refer to the FORMER agency as the "legacy INS." I really don't know how this happened. In my writings I always refer to the "former INS."

Living in VA i can see why all you have time to do is live on this forum. Why dont you go back to school and focus all of your negative energy into something positive that might benefit someone. Staying on this site like a forum lizard will not help you, or anyone you may post a comment to. Get A life!!

I have time to spend in this forum because I am very efficient with time management. Also, I stay active on here in order to continue learning and understanding the ongoing immigration process. In turn, this has enabled me to help others understand the immigration process, on this forum and elsewhere.
I don't know what living in Virginia has anything to do with. Virginia is a beautiful and historic commonwealth that I am happy to call home, as I have for the past 26 years. Maybe you could explain what you were referring to?
I don't need to go back to school -- I already have two college degrees, thank you very much. Thanks for the suggestion.
You're telling me that I need to "get a life" because I am posting in this forum, and yet you are doing the exact same thing: Posting in this forum.
Like I said: Pot. Kettle. Black.
BTW, I'm glad the Brazilian embassy advised you of the right course of action to take.

Only the US passport and Visa are required. This information is straight from the Brazilian Embassy in Miami.
Thank you. Standard caution -- oral information from one official of ANY government may or may not be a valuable as the paper its printed on.
[On the pedantic end of things -- it is the Brazilian "consulate" in Miami. The "embassy" is in Washington DC].
Good luck.
