Coming back around to share what happened. The visa was approved today. (See my review on the Embassy in Tegucigalpa). Super annoying, but some of the Honduran staff repeatedly asked for W-2's which I dont have because I was employed in Honduras for 7 years. When my husband reached the interviewer, (American) she of course understood why I would not have a W-2. The officer DID NOT remove the joint sponsor. I am not exactly sure why, but she did ask my husband if they were willing to continue joint sponsorship and he said yes. She asked questions specifically about them during the interview. I am wondering if it is because Honduras is a high profile country. But for anyone reading this it may not be possible to remove a joint sponsor once it has been submitted to the NVC, maybe it depends on the country, I do not know. my husband then recieved a concratulations letter with instructions on how to pay the immigration fee. He said the interviewer was very professional and took her time with his case.

Thank you all!

I actually lived with my husband in Honduras during the I130 process. I just left in July to restablish domocile here and start my new teaching job. We do have a few pictures we took right before I left, which I will submit to the consulate. Although it feels like an eternity we have only been living apart for 2 months now. Our chat logs are pretty consistant with daily greetings, good nights, Bible studies together and video chats, as well as coversations about preparing for the appointment and when I was choosing an apartment here- where we were making joint decisions.

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!

Processing time for NVC was 9 days back in May when our case was being processed. It is a quick turnaround time.

Is it possible to have the best of both worlds? Maybe spend the summers in Sweden, so you can still keep your life in the U.S.?

Thank you!

No 3 years is not needed. It is based on current income.

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!

Longer processing time or no approval at all. I am a little concerned about the OP after reading about those records. Probably should take time to reflect on whether it is wise to be involved with someone like that.

Did you pay the immigrant fee? Only takes up to 90 days to recieve the Green Card. https://egov.uscis.gov/processing-times/expect-green-card

I would reach out to your Senator. I am December 9, 2023- already approved, approved by NVC and waiting for Embassy appointment now.

WOW ok, now I am understanding better There were well over 200 IR1s in May- which explains it. Compared to only 12 F2As. Thanks! You are a gem!

Thank you- Where are you seeing these stats? I find in interesting that they are so far along with Family Preference when San Salvador is still working on Jan 22 cases for Family Preference.

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.

Yes Senators and Representatives can help. I had a friend that was in the same situation and she started getting answers after she contacted their offices. it all depends on how much they actually want to help.

I have a friend whose husband had this problem when he first arrived. She warned me about this being a potential problem. It is because the SSN appears to belong to a "baby" because it is so new, and why would that "baby" need an account. She was part of a small regional bank, so they resolved it right at the bank. I would go to another branch of the bank, and find someone that is patient, knows what they are doing and can help you through the process.

You have to submit financial documents to USCIS. It's part of the process- no way around it, and your wife has to be involved in the documents. Unfornate that this has been kept secret from your family. As said above was a DNA test invovled? Sounds like you are confident he is your son. There is no way to go through this process "secretly".

This right here. Whenever you set boundaries with someone and they leave or start going crazy, that is a bad sign.

Is this what you are trying to tell yourself for comfort? Wrongful convictions do indeed happen, but not often. If he told you it was wrongful, he probably lied about that too. Please take the advice of everyone on this forum, get help and move on. You are young and can find real love.

What @Sam Burns said is the way I wrote ours.

Ghosting during this process is unacceptable. You deserve better than this nonsense. Take some time to heal. As others have said, block him, and move on. You are only 26- don't play with someone who does not want kids.

No more stamps. My husband asked the same question when he entered on his visitor visa and it was all digital now.

I could'nt find mine either and left it blank. My I 864 still got approved.
