Letter of Consent for parent of immigrating children
I am trying to find out information on the format or wording necessary for a
Letter of Consent of a parent that is permitting his children to immigrate
to the US. My understanding is that the Consulate will ask for this letter
during the immigation interview and I have not been able to find examples or
criteria that this letter needs to meet.
If anyone knows of any links or documentation that exists for this, I would
appreciate your input tremendously. I am also unclear on how this needs to
be validated (i.e., notarized, etc.) for the US to consider this to be a
valid document.
I am specifically interested in this for immigration of my step-children
from Brazil.
Thanks in advance for any help you can provide.

My suggestion is that you contact a Brazilian lawyer because the issue
is, what consent is needed from the point of view of Brazilian law. If
the consent is valid under Brazilian law, then the consul will accept it.
