I appreciate your answer. That makes sense to me and it's pretty much what I thought when my wife first asked me about this. I feel like it would have been best for him to flee to another part of Honduras, but it's too late for that. Maybe I'll suggest to my wife and her relatives in Spain that he apply for asylum there. Thanks to you and everyone else for taking the time to reply. All these responses were helpful. I really appreciate it.

He's moderately skilled at basic construction jobs, things like installing drywall. I suppose ideally, if we could get him to the States I'd suggest he work on his English (he only knows a little) then try to get certified as a plumber or electrician or something like that. Lots of demand for that kind of work, and there are very few people under 50 years old who are qualified to do it.

I am a US citizen. My wife is originally from Honduras. She got her US citizenship last year. Her brother is in his early thirties. About five years ago, he got in some kind of a fight with a guy who apparently has ties to organized crime. The criminals issued death threats and her brother fled to Spain which, at least at that time, didn't require a visa for Hondurans to enter as a "tourist." He overstayed his visa and has been in Spain illegally since, working off and on. It's not going well for her brother in Spain and my wife's family says that it would still be unsafe for him to return to Honduras. So their idea is to somehow bring him to the US. Would this be possible? Back in 2018 when we were in the process for my wife's residency we asked our lawyer about bringing the brother here and the lawyer mentioned waiting times of over a decade for visas for siblings. She suggested a student visa would be much faster, although this obviously wouldn't be a permanent solution and I wouldn't want to be a party to helping my wife's brother overstay his visa here in the US. Another detail that might be relevant, my wife's brother was arrested once years ago in Honduras for something minor like disturbing the peace and spent a night in jail. That's his only arrest as far as I know, but it could show up on his police record, which I imagine US immigration will ask for if he applies for any kind of US visa. Thanks!

Good point. She struggles with those too. I think she'll get them if asked, but she has a disturbing tendency to think that James Madison is our representative in the House

I'm helping my wife study for the civics test right now. Does anyone know if she can give just last names for the historical figures? For example, just "Wilson" instead of "Woodrow Wilson" or just "Hamilton" instead of "Alexander Hamilton"? Or maybe "President <Last Name>" would be acceptable if the answer is a president. I imagine she can because the answers have the first names in parentheses, but I was wondering if anyone knows for sure. She struggles to remember first names sometimes, especially ones that are hard for a native Spanish speaker to say, like "Woodrow," and she gets the first names of our US senators mixed up sometimes.

Just to make sure, is this the correct link to the current 100 possible civics questions for the citizenship interview: https://www.uscis.gov/sites/default/files/document/questions-and-answers/100q.pdf Thanks!
