How long will a I-130 take if I file now and my wife is in Brazil?

If through Consulate Processing, it will take about 1 year. *Consulate Processing* Consulate Processing must be completed. This allows the petition to first be sent to the National Visa Center, and then the appropriate documents and package to go to the U.S. Consulate or Embassy. If done correctly, you will be able to enter as a Lawful Permanent Resident and will be in the U.S. in less than one year. Of course the time might be a bit less or more depending on the backlog of the U.S. Consulate or Embassy and whether or not a Waiver of Inadmissibility is needed. If through the K3, it will take 3 to 6 months. *K3 Petition* Since you are already married and your spouse is outside the U.S., it would be necessary to apply for the K-3 Visa. The particular visa is considerably faster than the Consulate Processing needed to bring your spouse in as a Lawful Permanent Resident. Here, we would apply for the K-3 Visa which would take about 6 months. After, your spouse is in the U.S., the Adjustment of Status package can be filed.

If I overstayed my tourist visa, am I going to have problems with immigration if I live with my boyfriend before marrying him?

US Immigration Service will not hold it against you if you live with your future husband before getting married. The Service's only concern is whether your marriage is real or just to get you a green card. If you entered the U.S. legally, later got married, and your U.S. citizen husband files papers petitioning the U.S. Government for your permanent resident status in the U.S., you can get a green card - provided that a) the marriage is real; b) your husband can show to USCIS that you will not become a public charge (i.e. that he can support you financially; if he does not have enough income and/or assets, you will need a co-sponsor who does); c) you don't have criminal convictions, past violations of immigration laws, present a threat to the national security, or cannot be admitted to the U.S. for some other reason. The length of time you overstayed your visa before you get married does not matter.

You can still petition for your wife on Form I-130, but she will need to file a waiver on Form I-601 for misrepresentation. If your wife tried to claim that she was a US citizen, then she is banned from the US permanently.
