  • Our Story
    I signed a 2-year contract in 2018 to teach at an international school in Honduras. I joined an expat group before moving here... and he added me as a friend on FB. Our story started as a friendship. The first month I was here, he took me to a small town for sightseeing outside the city. In 2020 2 weeks before COVID we entered a romantic relationship. Engaged in April 2022, and married September 22. Right now we await our paperwork as we dream and plan our future in the States- an art studio and mobile coffee truck...

    My husband and I are in the NVC stage right now, about to submit our paperwork this week. That takes about 2 weeks for approval, and then about a 2-3 month wait at the embassy. I have not seen any changes here in Honduras with the embassy. Rumor has it is not the interviewers jobs being cut, it is the people who work in other areas that have been labeled as unnecessary, for embassy function. I think it is rarely safe to measure how long it normally takes for the embassy. We have settled on the fact that we may be separated for about a month or two, but it is imperative I find work ASAP, and hopefully before is appointment.

    You could be approved soon. The other thing is that in March 24 cases, close to, if not over, a million cases were filed because of the fee changes the following month. I imagine it will take them a while to make it through the whole month. Usually, when you see cases ahead of yours still waiting, it is because that case has a cause for further investigation. With that you can still try to expedite.

    There are options for all parties to log in. I, the petitioner, have been doing most of the work, as my husband does not understand US paperwork. His job was to find the Joint Sponsor.

    Now you can get your paperwork together with confidence! Good luck in your next steps, all the best to you!

    Thanks! Ok, so if her income is needed, then we would use the I-864 for her and she would become the 2nd Joint Sponsor?
  20. KMG
    @pushbrk I understand an I-864 for me, an I-864 for the Joint Sponsor, I-864a for the spouse (files jointly with spouse). There is another household member who is 23, living in the same house, who is also using her income, but files separately. Does she file out the I-864 or the I-864a?

    THIS! This is how they gain clients.

    I am working with a joint sponsor right now, too. It is INCREDIBLY discouraging to know what has gone on in the U.S. and all the hoops we have to jump through. 15+ wait time..... So glad that change is finally taking place.

    Yeah, these types of conversations have to happen BEFORE marriage. In the case of my husband and me, we lived together after marriage for more than a year before we even decided to move to the States- and when we decided, I continued living here during the entire I-130 process. Although I make a dollar salary in my teaching job, he was gainfully employed as well. Our salaries don't exactly match, but he has no hesitation in contributing to "us". It is true you marry a culture and not just the person, which is why I think some time should be spent in the spouse's home country as well.

    Yes, my transcript has not appeared on the IRS website yet- So I may just have to submit the return as well as the joint sponsor.

    Here it is, We are finally at the NVC stage and gathering the documents. For our joint sponsor, I have a list of items that he will need along with the I864. Files jointly with spouse, who also works- So she will need the I864a, correct? W2s or 1099s latest tax return or transcript Proof of Citizenship for both Proof of assets? Is there anything I am missing? Thank you!

    There should be no problem with marriages that occur here in Central America, considering the ridiculous process you have to go through to get married here. As someone mentioned, they may need a apostilled certificate, or wait for her green card. Honestly sounds like you talked to someone who doesn't know what they are doing.

    Took Mine 15 1/2 Months. No, I did not file K3 it does nothing to speed up the process except clog USCIS with more paperwork, being it is an obsolete visa.
  34. KMG
    I kept on adding documents until I was approved. In the end, I had a total of 43. By the the time they looked at my case it took less than an hour to get the approval letter,
