INTRO......Q TAL......GIVE ME FACTS

[sparker42 7]

Hello I am a United States citizen from DYT Ohio that is currently married to my wife from Choluteca Honduras. We were married in the municipal court of EL Corpus in Choluteca. I have a few questions concerning questions on our journey of being together thru the non-immigrant K3 Visa

1. Part 5 Sponsor Household Size: Me and my sister live together, so how would I count this?

1. My sister that lives with me is willing to a household member and combine our income from last year’s taxes (I-184A). And I have a brother in Texas that makes 4x both of us that is willing to be a joint sponsor for us on the I-184, Do I put him on my I-184? Or does he fill out his own with my wife’s information? And what box does he check in PART 1 BASIS FOR AFFIDAVIT OF SUPPORT?
2. In the I-184 that me the petitioner is supposed to complete, I was laid off from my previous job from the past four years but I did file 2015 tax return and I have new employment. How do I relate my situation to what is asked as needed on the form in PART 5 SECTION 2 My current individual annual income? Do I use last year’s amount?

1. Furthermore, how do I translate our marriage license and her birth certificate into English from Spanish so they can be certified and accepted by immigration here? Any suggestions for accredited companies in good standings.
2. Will I as her husband be in the interview in TGU? Can she bring an interpreter or does the embassy provide this service? Because she is in the beginners’ class of learning English at the university.

I have read posts and relies saying that the K3 Visas are not being processed any more so if you tell me I would appreciate any facts that would say more than you would follow the CR1 path: Thank you

Hi, welcome, and congratulations!

I'll shed a little light on the K3 vs CR1 if I can:

If you read the guides instead of just the replies within posts, it might make more sense to you.

It's not that the K-3s are NOT being processed anymore; it's just that the CR1 usually gets processed first so the K3 never finishes processing.

The I-130 has to be filed first regardless. After you receive the receipt notice for the I-130, then you can fill out the I-129F for a K3 and it must include a copy of your I-130 receipt notice. Currently the processing times are about the same for both so the I-130 usually makes it to NVC first and therefore a CR1 visa is in process before the I-129f even gets to NVC. It's not really a choice you can make...it's all based on which one gets processed first and we have no control over that.

You can give it a try. The I-129f is free to file with a pending I-130 so you don't really lose anything except a little time and postage!

Welcome to the forum. I've moved your thread from the Introducing Our Members forum to the CR-1 Process forum, because of your specific questions.

---

In regard to the eventual embassy interview, the interview can be conducted in Spanish (the native language of the country) as a matter of routine.

Your presence at the time of the interview is up to you. It never hurts for the Amcit petitioner to be on the premises. It's good moral support, and it gives the consular officer a chance to call you in to clear up any questions that there might be. See the links atop any VJ page for "Embassy Info" and "Reviews: Embassy" to read others' experiences, and look for relevant threads in the Mexico/Latin & South America regional forum.
