US Immigration from Honduras

Hi all,

My wife and I got married in January, filed our AOS packet at the end of March, and have our AOS interview scheduled for Nov 12. Our final AOS packet, as prepared by our lawyer, was nearly 300 pages (including all forms and evidence we submitted). We've had an interview prep session with our lawyer, as well as with another lawyer at the immigration law firm where my wife now works, and they've both stated that we should have an easy interview because we submitted so much proof with our initial case. Despite this, I still want to be very prepared, of course.

While I took all the steps I could think of to have proof with our initial filing (adding her as an authorized user to all my credit cards, screenshots of all accounts where she's a family member, lots of photos, etc.) we have plenty of additional proof from the last ~7 months. This includes new photos, WhatsApp communication, remittances to her family, utility bills, and pay stubs from both of us.

My current concern is the number of pages we'd be bringing to the interview with the recommended 6 months of financial statements for all institutions. I have five different credit cards (I use them for rewards and never carry a balance) and two bank accounts. Even with cutting out the extraneous informational pages from the statements, the last 6 months' of our primary bank statements alone are about 20 pages. If I print those statements for all credit cards and accounts, we're going to have over 100 pages just of statements. This seems excessive when our lawyer recommended 30-60 pages of new evidence.

I'm worried about not having something we need, but I also don't want to be overkill. I also don't want to struggle to quickly find a particular document or set of documents the officer may ask for during the interview. Would you recommend I print it all and do my best to keep it split up, or focus only on the accounts we use the most?

Also, does the 6 month recommended period also apply to utility bills? The only ones of those I can add a spouse to are our internet and electricity bills, and I was going to do two statements for each of them to cut down on paper.

Hi, I received my NVC case number today along with INV ID and Beneficiary ID. When I log in to CEAC website to pay the visa fee, I land on a summary information page stating that a DS160 needs to be filled out. I've already filled it out and I have the confirmation for it.

Is it possible that is not letting me pay because my case is at the NVC stage?

Hello Everyone!

I am preparing more evidance for Bona Fide Marriage for my husband's visa appointment in October. Should I inlcude the same photos we submitted for the I130? Or should I just include new evidance ie; photos, chat logs, and some wire transfers that have been made?

Thank you!

Hello All,

I am back in the U.S. with full domicile, and gainfully employed. I have 3 paycheck stubs thus far, and I am well above the poverty line to sponsor my husband. My husband's appointment is October 27th. I am filling out a new I864, to show my new income. Do I have to send this wet ink signed document to my husband? I left all other original documents with him when I left Honduras, but wondering if I can send him this new I864 in pdf form for him to print or if I should send him the original.

Should I try to remove the joint sponsor? Will they do this the day of his appointment when they see I make enough income now?

Thank you!

Does anyone have any insight on why an embassy would schedule appointments faster for Family Sponsored Perference Categories faster than Immediate Relatives Categories? I understood that Immediate Relative categores are priority in line but it appears this is not the case at the embassy in Tegucigalpa. Also, they have been stuck on Feb- 25 DQed for the last 3 months, while other appointments - Family Sponsored is moving forward with no problem-- screenshotes attached. I have looked at other embassies, and they are not scheduling Family Preference that quickly.
