This is almost exactly what I told them yesterday now that I have the right forms. Its looks like they thought that since is a daughter applying for mother all you need is two birth certificates and that is that. As if the USCIS won't do due diligence or something. Then he started acting weird and what not. My wife is content that its just going to be a tough road... probably. Honestly they may not care beyond the overstay which was of the minor variety or they will. Its not like there is a choice really.

Yes he does. That is the part I don't know for sure. I'm sure they were married in Honduras legally, but we don't have the official docs.. yet. I didn't get much into it as my wife is trying to handle all that. I was just going with the 'How much info do we really need?' Which is apparently all of it especially since she already had a visa to visit him in the US anyways which she overstayed.

Ah, yeah in the grand scheme of things the typo is the least of the worries. We aren't filing for months. I just found out about all this yesterday and thought I should get some responses from here in case I am missing something. Seems I wasn't and they are definitely in a predicament.

For the wrong name we figured it out. She went back through all the other docs and it only her reprint that has the wrong name. Someone just mistyped it and we never actually verified. The official docs down to the handwritten stuff is all accurate. We did plan on fixing that first. That is probably why he wants nothing to do with it. He was a name on a paper for my wife's visa but now with the overstay he won't be. I have told them anything could happen as long as they tell the truth. They could check it and say they don't care or they could think its weird that the husband of the beneficiary that has been a citizen for decades isn't filing for her.

DS-260. Completely forgot about that one. I kept thinking that was the I-485 for some reason.

Most likely something wasn't done in good faith and it could either mess something up for him (which I don't think matters since he is and has been a citizen for like decades) or maybe it could ruin it for the rest of the family. No idea. He did the same when I brought his daughter over as my wife but he was just a name on a paper as everything focused on our marriage.

To be honest I don't know what the current state of the marriage is to be honest and I think that is the problem since the documents conflict.

Trust me. That was the first thing I said. If they ask you have to tell the truth. They were hoping that since the petition is between daughter and mother that his part is less important.

We are in the process of getting the I-130 filled out and the documents acquired when we noticed there are possible red flags. First as I believe you only need the Birth Certificate of Petitioner and Birth Certificate of Beneficiary so we have my wife's and her mother's documents, but we realized that her mother's name is spelled wrong. One of her last names is missing a letter. We don't know when that happened. We have to wait until March to get back there just to fix it. How much of an issue is that really? Second, apparently my Mother-in-law over-stayed a visa 20 years ago. Is there a form to submit along with the I-130 about that or do you just admit it when they ask last time you visited the US? Lastly the father-in-law is concerned about the USCIS doing any research on him for some reason. I believe its an issue with multiple marriages or something. (This is why the daughter is applying for her mother and not him. He is a US Citizen.) So they want to fill out the form and just leave him off it completely. The docs we have show she isn't married, but the issue we have is the overstay. They reason for the overstay was she was visiting her husband. There is no official divorce papers which they wouldn't want to send anyways. So how much of predicament are we in?

This is just a heads up to people applying for visas in Honduras the accepted birth and marriage certificates have changed. The Expediente de Vida is no longer accepted. No forma literal is accepted. Just the Inscription de Nacimiento and the Inscription de Matrimonio. Confirmed with the supervisor. This changed a month ago while we were being reviewed, right after we submitted. Which is just the worst. The supervisor was actually really sorry, because we sent the right documents and still have to resend and we will lose 5 weeks for nothing, but maybe somebody else is compiling their IV packets with forma literals. Note the website still says forma literal even though inscriptions are not forma literal.
