  • Our Story
    I signed a 2-year contract in 2018 to teach at an international school in Honduras. I joined an expat group before moving here... and he added me as a friend on FB. Our story started as a friendship. The first month I was here, he took me to a small town for sightseeing outside the city. In 2020 2 weeks before COVID we entered a romantic relationship. Engaged in April 2022, and married September 22. Right now we await our paperwork as we dream and plan our future in the States- an art studio and mobile coffee truck...

  1. Americans waste people's time too. Ask me why I didn't get married until I was 45. I never planned to marry internationally. It just happened. I was only supposed to be here for 2 years, and then it happened. I wouldn't put all my energy into finding someone internationally if you can't wait for the process to unfold.
  2. This yes..... my student's parents do this, they plan for all of their babies to be born in the States. Several of my colleagues have dual citizenship because of this. Completely taking advantage.
  3. I am with you on this. My school is being generous with giving me more time to tell them whether or not I am leaving at the end of this school year. (I work at an international school in my husband's country). We want to at least wait until the I130 is approved before I leave. The 2nd half of the journey should be quick enough to leave by the summer, but not if more time is added to the I130. This seems incredibly unfair- my husband has no record, no overstays on his visitor visa and we do not forsee any problems getting his approval. Bottom line, USC spouses are supposed to take priority over all other cases. This whole process should take a matter of months- not years.
  4. Try this... https://www.state.gov/citizen-complaints-regarding-foreign-mission-property-dc/
  5. They are working on August 23 cases now. I saw some from August 21, 2023 approved today....https://www.casestatusext.com/
  6. I am going the CR1 route, which is now an IR1 because my husband and I have been married more than 2 years now. It is taking longer than the K1, but it was the best route for us because I am gainfully employed in his country, and it gives him some time to get some family things in order. If you are doing fine in Brazil, get married soon and file the CR1. K1 is more expensive, and they can't work right away. My husband already has a job prospect in the States and will probably be able to start shortly after we arrive.
  7. There is A LOT of misinformation about Trump...https://abcnews.go.com/Politics/gop-president-elect-donald-trump-sex-marriage-settled/story?id=43513067
  8. I would blame this more on the USCIS officer than Trump. He should have informed his supervisor and coworkers that pending cases needed to be finalized. You don't just leave your office responsibilities with no plan for completion. I am a teacher and a substitute can walk into my classroom and know what needs to be done.
  9. Absolutely True- https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/national-security/trump-administration-launches-global-effort-end-criminalization-homosexuality-n973081
  10. Call the 800 number on this page- or use the contact form. https://register.state.gov/contactus/
  11. Have you tried reporting this directly to the Department of State? I feel your anger. Every single experience I have had with this Embassy for US citizens services has been infuriating. I am hoping for better when my husband's time comes around...
  12. This is legitimate as others have said. Here in Honduras if you don't do this, they will not let you into the embassy the day of your appointment,
  13. Thank you! Makes a lot more sense. That is why I always come to this site. for answers. They are good friends of ours, immigrants from Honduras themselves (now citizens), but obviously have known my husband longer.
