Honduras Filers...

[corazoncita]

I got this message from a member of i2us... she successfully filed through Honduras and I just wanted to share this PM with you. I have PMed her back-- I don't think she realizes who I am, since I changed my username! I thought this would be helpful for all of you ladies whose husbands do not have criminal issues...

Hi, My name is thernand. My husband is from Honduras and we went through Tegu. I will tell you that it is not easy. My husband was stuck in Honduras for 2 years and 3 months before we got an approval. Our first waiver was denied. Said we had not proved enough hardship. We filed a MTR and they kept it for 6 months and then told us that they were not going to accept it at all and to start over. So I wrote a new waiver. I put everything in it from the broken gate on the barn to the broken step on the porch besides the usual stuff that you put and included pictures of everything that you could take a picture of. We got approved.

I used to be on this site all the time then my computer went crash and I couldn't afford a new one. How ever the server for e-mail is down right now so you can only get me by sending a private message through this site at the moment.

The people at the embassy were always very nice. I got to go in with him for everything that we had to do. When we went to file the new waiver, well, I just flew down there, walked into the embassy at 11:00 am when Americans with questions can come in and walked up to the window and told them I was there to file a new waiver for my husband. They went back and talked to the man in charge and he said, Let her pay today and re-do his prints and give them an interview for tomorrow. They were always great in the visa office it is the DHS office there that gives you trouble on the waiver. Mine was almost 3 inches thick. I'll try to help you in anyway that I can.

Thanks so much, corazoncita. We've been wondering what happened to her. If I recalled, wanaads attempted to send her an email and it was returned. I'm a little worried now about my HSL. Oh well, keep on praying.

Thanks for sharing the info about Thernand. I am glad that she is still in touch.

Thanks for posting that, corazoncita. I'm glad she found us and was able to give some insight. Good to know how we can reach her as well. What I'd like to know is what more she included in her second waiver. Why does she think the first one was denied and what did she do differently the second time? How long did the first decision take? Guess I should just go on and PM her myself, huh? Also, (trying to think positively here) maybe the second one was approved because they've got better people in there deciding these days. I mean, the denial must have been at least a year and a half ago or more.

I really, really hope that her case was just a fluke though. I seriously cannot wait 2+ years for a decision. I will go completely batty - more than I already am!:blush:

Here is another message from our friend, thernand....

Never give up hope. That is what they want us to do. If you can afford it, and he is going to be deported anyway I would give it a try anyway. One of the big things would be for him to write letters of apology and get into some kind of AA meeting or something that he could prove that he is trying to reform himself. That would help alot I would think. Don't give up. They might deny the first on like they did ours but I think ours got approved finally because of the fact that we never gave up trying and I showed my face at that embassy in Honduras every time that I could afford to do so. The only time my husband went by himself was to turn in a reciept that we didn't turn in right and to pick up his visa. Keep trying. Tell the other girls that I am here and I'll try to answer any questions that I can if they will post them then I will private message them and they can copy them and post the answer if they want to. we may not get real e-mail back till next week or so is what they are telling us and you know how that goes.

Thanks corazoncita.

Thernand thanks for your help and advice. I know you had mentioned before that they had a new person in charge, do you feel this made a difference too? I wish I had the money to make my presence known.

Can I get your advice on what was in your letter

[corazoncita]

tkc-- read through this thread.

This is the official I-601 thread for Honduras. Read through it and you will find all kinds of information. Unfortunately, thernand cannot find her letter... but she has been giving us lots of pointers! She is the only one on i2us who has completed the process of filing through Honduras. There is quite a large handful of us processing now.

Welcome to our family! Please let us know if you need anything!

Where in Honduras is your significant other from?
