US Immigration from Honduras

Married spouse in 2013 in New York. She elected to change surname to my name. The Hondurans do not allow for straight name changes( first, middle, husband s surname) they require the name in her passport be according to their naming customs.(first, middle, father s last, mother s last, de , husband s last). So all of our immigration paperwork has been filed according to the way her name reads in her passport.(I-130, I-601A, DS-260) her green card also matches her passport.

When it comes time to Naturalize she would like to use her legal name in the states to apply.(First, Middle, Husband s last). Not sure if she needs to request name change being that we already changed her name when we got married, I also don t want to delay the naturalization ceremony if I check yes because that ceremony needs to be conducted by a judge, if it s not necessary. Can anyone help with this? Thanks.

Hello Ladies and Gentlemen,

I have a concern regarding the I-134 form. My concern is involving my Annual Income .

Before 2020, I ve only worked part-time. I started working full-time in June 2020, earning $17/hr so my my tax transcript for 2020, obviously states my annual income from June to December.

In those 6 months the transcript shows I earned less than the poverty guidelines . Obviously if I would ve work January to December I would ve surpassed the Poverty guidelines .

I m just concerned if that has any negative effect for the application or is it obvious that I earn enough if i work an entire year.

I also have a letter from my employer stating that my job position is permanent. The manager did however forgot to write my Salary.

Should i continue sponsoring my fiance myself or should i get a co-sponser as a back-up.

Thanks in advance!!

Hello everyone,

I am a business owner since 2010. I have a family/business partner member on a E-2 Visa that has been renewed 3 times. It is a restaurant and recently we purchased the building which puts us above the required EB-5 ($900,000) investment threshold. My question is: Can I, as her business partner, and family member, submit the application for a EB5 Green card without using a lawyer or USCIS accredited individual? I successfully completed the E-2 visa process which was complex and required similar investment and other documents.

Hello,

Does anyone know how long is it currently taking for the NVC to schedule interview appointments at the U.S embassy of Honduras after case complete and being documentarily qualified? (CR-1/IR-1 visa case)

Hi there! I'm hoping this question makes sense as it's a little complicated to explain!

My husband has recently filed an I-130 for both of his parents. He has two older half-brothers, one from each parent from their previous relationships prior to their own marriage. Looking into the future, his parents would be thinking of filing for both sons separately either as permanent residents or citizens when the time comes.

His Mom has an older son in Honduras who is around 30, never married, with one daughter (and is still currently in a relationship with the mother of the daughter).

Additionally, his Father has an older son in the United States around the same age who has never married. However, this son entered the US illegally and remains presently.

My questions are the following:

-For his older half-brother in Honduras (Mom's son), is it best for his Mom to file immediately as a permanent resident? Or wait to become a citizen? If she hits the five-year mark and is eligible for citizenship, would she need to wait to file for citizenship until her son's visa is processed? Lastly, would this son's daughter be eligible as a derivative?

-For his older half-brother in the United States, would he be eligible as he is currently present in the US illegally? If so, what kind of ban would he be facing and is there a waiver for it that is likely to be accepted?

My apologies for the lengthy post, I would appreciate any feedback at all!
