Guatemalan Embassy MISTAKE !

[KmOm0629 2]

Hello everyone I need help, The guatemalan embassy told my husband he needed his i-864 sponsorship information that it was missing. Here is the catch, I have a lawyer they sent it in, I was already approved to be his sponser. Can I apply for an expedite on thier mistake?? I have proof the information was sent...this is sooo horrible My husband lives 12 hours from the embassy and now we have to wait, again...My lawyer has everything, the interview letter did not request more information...Please help!!!!!!

You can't have been approved for the I-864 yet if your husband hasn't passed the interview.... if you are refering to NVC looking at your sponsorship info, they only do a "first pass", it is the embassy that approves it.

It is possible your lawyer forgot to send it in, it is also possible the embassy (or NVC on the way to the embassy) misslaid the sponsorship docs. Or, that your husband missunderstood and it is something specific they want (such as they want a co-sponsor, or they want more info on your job or whatever).

What exactly do you want to expedite? If the missing sponsorship info is the only thing that is needed, then all you need to do is send it in and they should post his passport with visa out to him.

The checklist you gor with your Interview letter what does it say to bring to interview. Also some embassies what originals so that may be iy you need to know specifically what they are required. Somethingcould have be left out.

The checklist didnt have that form on it, and my lawyer knew to send the original. They had the original it somehow got lost from the U.S. to Guatemala

I'm so sorry to hear this! I was so happy for you yesterday when I saw your approval post! Just stay calm, give whatever documents they want as quickly as possible. If they ask for it, there is nothing else to do but give it in again. I don't know if you made copies of it all, but if you did, make another set if copies and keep every single piece of paper as record. I personally know of a couple from Guatemala that after 2 years with residency, the husband was deported because his original paperwork was lost! PLEASE MAKE LOTS OF COPIES AND KEEP YOUR RECORDS!!

Yes I do have copies, of everything, My lawyers do as well. They are even confused. As far as expediting goes, I want to expedite his I-601 the waiver for iniadmissability...if this is possible.. I read the document, it says that the sponsorship information was missing, but they have copies of what they sent in, and I have copies of the same documents. I truely believe The embassy in guatemala misplaced the affidavit of support as well as my tax copies.. Their even asking for proof of citizenship, everything that goes along with being a sponsor they want...i am so frustrated, I even called to see why they are asking for these things and they wouldnt help me, told me he had to send all of those documents back in.

That's horrible. Did he have a packet with him for the interview? But anyway, just expedite it to the address they gave you. Do it asap so he can get the visa stamp as soon as possible. I can imagine how you feel. My husband is here in the US and had to do the waiver as well. The main issue we are having is my job. I work as a nanny and my boss needs me (supposedly) for January. We have the last documents for packet 4 but we have been halting sending it in to see if we can forestall the interview date until at least Feb (my boss is having her third baby and will give birth in Feb so she will be at home for both Feb and March).

We will be praying for you so that everything goes as quickly as possible. I couldn't be without my hubby and I'm so sorry you have to be without yours!

By the way, the Guate embassy is notorious for losing documents. I'm so sorry this happened to you guys!

Thank you, and I wish you luck, And unfortunately I have heard that more than once, I am waiting to see what the lawyer wants to do..Because thats what i am paying for. Good Luck and thank you for your input.

Hey Kmom,

I had a quick question. My husband also had to do the waiver. What were some of the questions he was asked during the interview? Did they ask for the waiver or talk aboutnit at all?? Thanks!!

My husband was asked who was filing for him, where did we meet like 4 times he said and if we had kids. They asked where he was going to live and with who...They asked for who I lived with...What they did not tell him is why I did not qulaify for the sponsor, I make enough money I surpass that, and I have a clean criminal back ground...This is the part my lawyers are investigating and I will be sure to let people know what it is...I am thinking that they wanted to see if my husband has someone else who will sponsor him, just cus they can..I have no idea...

* FYI for every question they ask, try to show a proof, my husband had pictures of almost everything and showed them the proof of when I visited and showed them my reciepts where i send him money sometimes, proof of everything...This will help...

She did tell him that the sponsor ship part would not take long we just have to do it.

I am also the only one as sponsor for my husband. Could I ask how much you make a year? I haven't worked steady for about three years but I was working and reported everything. This year I make more than enough to sponsor. But I worry something like this might come up. We have been married 4 years. What I suspect is that they are looking into the info for the waiver. We had to show hardship, and now we are sponsoring them? Maybe that could be it?

Well I have worked steady for over 4 years at a Community College, and Have proof of everything. So I dont think that the money part was the issue, I think they want another sponsor just to see if he can have the support..or someone else wants him you know what im saying? I have plenty of proof, but the only other option is they made a huge mistake and overlooked my taxes. Check the Visa website there is plenty of information on affidavit of support and uscis...They have the updated amount you have to make per year, i think for 3 dependents it is 23,000...close to that amount.

[JDGam 6]

Well, I hope they give you an answer soon as to what the problem is because by what you are saying this makes no sense!! Have you found another sponsor just in case?

I just heard from the lawyer, she said she believes my amount I make per year is too close to the amount needed. I am soo upset, Because I take care of my husband now...adn I have proof of it..this is ridiculus. Now I have to do what they say... I know it makes no sense...I cant believe they have control to do that.
