Hey all,

first of all let me thank all the members who helped us get to were we are by just answering questions and sharing experiences! I would loke to share what happened to us, so maybe someone else may use the information. We are DCF in Honduras. I'm a USC my wife is immigrating. Began gathering info. in January 2007.

-We filed the I-130 with all the supporting documents in late March.( picked-up the form in January)

-Received the notice NOA2 in mid June (never got the NOA1)

-Went to the embassy and picked-up the information packet for the instructions on how to prepare for the interview and what documents would be needed.(also did this in January as part of info. gathering)

-Began working on gathering documents in July such as: Tax transcripts (mine and my parents) 2006 1040's and W-2's, I did not qualify for tax returns since I am employed in Honduras, but I did file 2004-2006 taxes late, because I did not know I had to file. Proof of my parents residence in the US, proof of their employment (employment letters), pay stubs, also got proof of emploment for myself, wrote two letters to the consular stating that my stay in Honduras was temporary and how I met my wife,and that we will be traveling together and that my employer was notified of my unofficial resignation, another stating why I was exempt from receiving tax returns (had to file the 2555's), my wife's and my personal documents such as, birth certificates literal form, same for marriage certf., correct passports, passport pictures, medical exams, DS230 I&II, police report, my I864 and my parents, copies of my parents identification, and evidence of our relationships, plus extra info. It seems that DCF in Honduras is very forward they just want what they ask for, but it doens't hurt to be overprepared! OH YEAH, COPIES OF EVERYTHING!!

-In Sep went for the medical (mentioned above), went to embassy same day to figure out when our interview date was, supposedly in Oct. but asked if we could get an earlier date and received one for Sep. 13th, we got the medical done on Sep. 11, good thing we went with everything even interview clothes!
