Honduras Ir1/Cr1

Just got NOA2 and awaiting notice that NVC has our package. Does anyone who successfully applied for a spousal visa have experience or know if Honduran marriage and birth certificates expire? I've seen some users state that after 6 months they are no good. But if USCIS approved us and at the time of approval my wife's birth and our marriage certificate were over 6 months old does that mean we shouldn't have a problem with NVC? I know the police report can't be older than 6 months but I haven't seen anything on US Gov website or anywhere on our Honduran paperwork that states the documents expire. Thanks!

Birth and marriage certificates dont expire, however you will need to send another original birth and marriage certificates when the NVC sends you a request.

Thats a good link to look at

The other issue is that NVC may not even send you a request for the documents they need. After you pay you all your fees (AOS Fee, IV fee). Calling them helps and also following the DPT of State (NVC) website will help tremendously http://travel.state.gov/content/visas/english/immigrate/immigrant-process/documents/fees.html

Thanks so much for the info and for your help. I've been looking at two of the guides on VJ that help list the documents needed, hope to have everything ready to go as soon as I'm allowed to pay the AOS and IV fees. If they require the original documents I'm assuming that this package will be returned to me at the end of the process? For our USCIS we just sent in certified copies but I know the NVC asks for originals. Do you have any other suggestions or advice for the interview at the Embassy in TGU? Thanks again!

According the Embassy NVC website's the originals get returned at the interview. Personally I got 4 originals of everything and their respective copies.

Tonight I will send you a couple of links that will help you. For example, There is an updated list for the interview that is not updated on the Embassy website. Ttyl.

here are the links that you want to read carefully-the US Embassy list is not up to date and you have to sign up for cargo express, I spoke with the Embassy directly and its not optional anymore. Also, the birth certificate for the beneficiary (forma literal) is not the one needed, however we are still taking it. The one they require is in long form or copy of Book of Marriages in spanish called “folio del libro de nacimiento”

Thank you so much for your help just got an email today from USCIS stating they mailed our info to NVC today. Hopefully will be hearing back from NVC soon. Thanks again for all of your help in answering my questions and for the additional links and advice. You've been a great help

NVC will take a bit...when they ask you to send them any documents it takes them a solid 30 days to review...business days. Be patient.
