United States


Citizenship: In recent years it has been easier and cheaper to get citizenship in the U.S. than to get permanent residence. It is possible to apply for citizenship after 3 years of marriage and living legally in the United States.

Brazilians retain their Brazilian citizenship and passport, and have dual citizenship.

Citizenship is recommended because then there are no problems later. Permanent residence can be taken away under some circumstances.
