US Immigration from Honduras

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.

Hello Everyone!

What a week!!! Earlier this week, I received a job offer for a teaching contract in the U.S. I had been teaching in Honduras for the last 7 years, and of course, my income did not count for the Sponsorship. Then today, my husband and I received notification from the NVC that we are documentarily qualified. We had a couple of hiccups when they could not open a couple of files we sent, but we made it. I will start employment on August 4th, and the email they sent says we can continue loading documents while we wait. I will load some contracts that I signed this coming week, as well as paycheck stubs I receive, when I start work in August. There is about a 3-4 month wait for an appointment in Tegucigalpa.

My questions... Do I fill out a new I-864 when I begin my work?

How do I remove the joint sponsor if we choose to do that before his appointment? I think there is a letter they can write?

Thank you!

We are collecting everything and I haven't done it online before. Last time was a giant packet of papers. Also filing for a parent require less papers so I'm naturally feeling like I'm missing something.

We have:

Mother's Birth Certificate (Folio) and Translation

Mother's Passport

New Passport Photos

Daughter's Birth Certificate (Folio) and Translation

Daughter's Passport

Daughter's Marriage Certificate and Translation (For name change)

Is it really just that or am I missing something?

Uploading does everything for Mother (Beneficiary) go there and Daughter (Petitioner) Go there and nothing in evidence since there isn't outside evidence?

Thanks in advance.

Hello Everyone!

My husband has had a B1/B2 long before we met. Our I130 is weeks away from approval, and we are trying to come up with a plan for the NVC/Embassy stage to avoid too much time in separation.

Just a little backstory, I have been living with my husband in his home country of Honduras since we filed the I130. I teach at an international school here, which has the same calendar as the US school system, therefore it is almost time for me to start looking for work in the US starting in August. I need to show proof of reestablishing domicile, while trying to avoid too much separation time. The current wait time for an appointment in the embassy in Honduras is 2-3 months. If all goes well, I am expecting my husband to have his visa by late summer, early fall.

His current B1/B2 visa expires in January 2026, so we think it is not even worth trying to renew, as he is getting an immigrant visa anyway. My question is, can he travel to the US with me up until the time it expires? I am wondering if he can travel with me in late July, while he waits for his interview at the embassy. He will bring plenty of proof of his return to Honduras, and will not be resigning from his job until AFTER he receives his visa.

Thank you for your input!

I know some place tells you. Honduras has many versions of the same thing. Don't want to get RFE'd again. (Last time the documents changed while our package was in transit)
