Is it reasonably safe for an American to live in Brazil?

 Is it reasonably safe for an American to live in Brazil?
I mean, if an average american moved to Rio De Janeiro, from Dallas, Tx is it any more dangerous than living in america

There is crime everywhere, I would suggest finding out everything you can about how the laws work & stuff b/c I'm sure it's different than US. I wouldn't recommend it if you're a woman on your own. All I can suggest is research as much as you can!
2 :
I know crime in Rio is a bit bad, but I doubt you're gonna get targeted jsut cause you're american. I mean don't be walking around with a rolex and diamond rings, ya know? Dress and act like a brazilian. Just be smart and be aware of your surroundings.
3 :
you got to falas Portuguese..
4 :
There are parts of New Orleans and Washington that are highly Dangerous. In Rio you just have to be careful . Do not wear US Clothes , and do not walk on the beach night night, and do not go into favelas without a Brazilian. I forgot to say, I'm moving down to Rio in August
5 :
It is more dangerous and requires more caution, bit it is reasonably safe. If you live in Brazil for 5-10 years, you are probably going to be the victim of a crime once, maybe twice. If you let them have everything, you will be left unharmed. My friend's father is French and lived in Rio for 19 years before he was ever the victim of a crime when he was carjacked. You can avoid this the shorter you live ther and the less conspicuous your wealth is.
6 :
Many Brazilians had been murdered or "only" stolen in U.S.A., but you don't see Brazilians saying "Oh! God I am going to travel to the United States but I heard that it is thus dangerous there. Murders, devilish boys who attacks High Schools, snipers that aim rifles and kills any one in the streets, airplanes that collide with buildings, policemen that arrest any one for any thing but do not arrest the true dangerous criminals, Brazilian accused to kill who the local natives had killed. Oh! What horrible place! Can I ,really, travel for there ?".

If you are an American, you do need a Visa to get in. It used to cost U$ 100.00. Got to consulate and justify why you want to get in. http://www.brazilian-consulate.org

Yes, student loans and aid can be used for books, transportation, housing, tuition, and personal expenses.
2 :
I guess that you technically could do it, though I dont think it is acceptable, that's for sure. nice way to get a long vacation paid for.
3 :
Yes, you can because it's considered a living expense which is an acceptable way to spend your student loan. It sounds exciting...good luck!

1 :
Nope, the marriage has to work for a mimum of five years
2 :
That depends on your case. If they find that you have a sham marriage then no. You make it sound like you just wnat to marry him to get here, if true that's fraud and they are very good these days and figuing that out. This kind of fraud is also called prostitution...
3 :
if you get married and you become a permant resident even if things don't work out and you two get a divorce your still a resident no matter what.
4 :
try to make it work..unless he is abusive...i think its six years..then your intitled to half..if u have kids..then you can really put the screws to him
5 :
Sounds like you are already planning your future by using him to get residence status, if you are lucky and you can prove that your "love" was true. Then you can stay, but usually those type of marriages overseas are fraud. They get caught right away.
6 :
nope, you go back home. That is assuming you pass the INS process. You are both interviewed, if you fail you go back to your country. If they suspect you for marrying to get into the country, you will be deported and banned from ever entering the USA.
7 :
If you have a VISA you have the right to live in the United States.
8 :
So what, I'll marry you.. We'll have a great time. I love Brazilians.
9 :
if you got married for 2ys, you still can live in US after divorce, you will get ur 10yrs green card after 2 yrs, if your marriage still stay after 2 yrs, wait a year, you can become citizen. so means if your marriage cant stay in 2 ys, you still cant live in the US.
10 :
marry him then take all his money and move back to brazil
