THANK YOU!

This is true with the ENTIRE immigration process. Another VJ user @OldUser posted this video earlier this week. https://youtu.be/HyOTqzPmpvo?si=157GybJ2fS61jIEs. There is no transparency anywhere...

If she has a 10 year green card, why not wait till the 3-year mark? Why the rush? Yes you can start the process 90 days before, but as others have stated, the date you filed was too early. The wait times for all forms are ridiculous anyway, so it doesn't make much of a difference.

It really is... I was also shocked she did not know what Tren de Aragua was.

Just getting around to watching this right now... This is something else... this is way worse than I thought it was.

Hello All, My husband and I are starting to obtain documents that we know we will need in the NVC stage. These documents are also specialized in Honduras- everything has to be in "folio" form and are very tedious to obtain- in other words, multiple steps to obtain them. I am estimating we will be at the NVC stage in March. So if we got them in December, upload them to the NVC say in March/April, will these documents still be good by the time we have an appointment at the embassy? There is about a 3-4 month wait currently for an appointment in Honduras. I know the police report is only good for 6 months, so we will wait a little longer to get that one, but do the Birth Certificate and Marriage Certificate have to be within a certain time frame? Thank you!

🤣 🤣

What I liked about filing online was that it warns you before moving on to answer all questions and add evidence, etc. In addition, you get the receipt as soon as you submit your application. You can also continue adding unsolicited evidence because you have an online account immediately. If you are living overseas it makes it that much easier also.

I agree... I am approaching my one year of filing for my husband. We are overseas so it is taking longer, but this is downright ridiculous. And they just changed it to 16- month wait times.

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.

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.

Please research before posting nonsense like this.

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.

Fantastic news that everything is working out!

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.

There is A LOT of misinformation about Trump...https://abcnews.go.com/Politics/gop-president-elect-donald-trump-sex-marriage-settled/story?id=43513067

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.

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...

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,

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.

Congratulations!

Hello Again! My husband and I may have found a joint sponsor. I have one question about sponsorship. This person receives a SS disability check, however, he has other forms of income. (Wife works and he has a rental property that generates income.) As long as he meets the property guideines, can he still sponsor? I think I read somewhere that you cannot sponsor someone with government money...
