Waiver timeline for Honduras

[violet38]

hello! My name is Erin and my husband is from Honduras. We live in USA. We just received a letter from the Visa Center that my husband passed the clearance for security. And, my paralegal said that it takes 100 days for the embassy to send a letter for his appointment in Honduras. Do you know if your spouse went with the waiver to Honduras? Or, did you send it after your spouse was there? Can you help me? thanks!

Hi Violet38 :wave:

You may want to start a new thread for this question. You can send the waiver with him or after the interview. I sent mine a few months after the interview; although, I wish I had sent it with him.

Welcome Violet38,

I moved your post to a new thread in the Honduras section. I am sure you will hear from members who are familiar with your consulate. Good Luck!

:wave: and :welcome:! Do you mean his case is complete at the NVC? If that is true then you should get an appointment in less than 100 days. For us personally, we turned our waiver in the same day that we had the appointment! Good Luck!! :)

Welcome Violet! Glad to here you and your husband are well on your way through this process.

I second what y14gemini said - if you mean that your caseis complete at NVC, it should be less than 100 days until the interview. We also turned in out waiver paperwork at the interview. Your processing wait time does not start until DHS receives the packet so the sooner you get it in, the sooner you get your decision.

Best of luck to you!

welcome and ditto to what the others have said.

Thanks to everybody who replied to my waiver question. How long should the 601 waiver be? And, did any of you not have major medical issues, but listed other hardships, and still received approval?

[y14gemini]

How long is difficult to answer, I think that would depend on each individual case. We haven't been approved yet, we are still waiting :waiting:! Don't worry someone else will chime in and let you know abot the approvals and the medical. :)

Thanks to everybody who has helped me. We're still waiting for the embassy to send us an interview date. My husband's still here in Ohio and I am trying to put the waiver together and I feel rushed. I guess that I am making this harder than ever. I was told that the paperwork wouldn't be processed for him to leave USA until November! As you can see, I expect to get a letter from the embassy through our attorneys in July! I just started to ask my allergist and other doctors to write a letter. I do want him to take the waiver with him at the interview. I don't want to go to the embassy. I've been to a lot of countries and the worst was Africa and Taiwan. Somehow, the poverty in Honduras sickens me.

Well, here's my timeline: 7/3/08 Interview in Honduras; however, we didn't go due to not receiving the letter. Present moment: trying to find enough hardship as my pre-cancer cells are gone. I am still contemplating this whole process. I don't want to be an old mother when this is said and done. I am 39 with no children yet. So, I am having second thoughts as I don't have a strong waiver, at least in the medical section.

Violet, I'm sorry to hear you all missed your interview. This also happened to another member, but it'll get rescheduled. The easiest way to know if your interview has been scheduled is to call the NVC, so you know from now on how to do it.

I'm sorry to hear that your pre-cancer cells are growing. Also, please reconsider turning in the waiver. Is it better to sacrifice 6-8 months of your life to live the rest in complete with your freedom or is it now worth it? One of our members going through Honduras is pregnant and is actually due in about 3 weeks. Her husband had his interview in Honduras maybe a couple of months ago and she stayed in the U.S. and is having the baby without her husband. If you really want to have a baby, go for it. Don't let this process stop you.

You just have to be strong and have faith that your waiver will be approved. Maybe you can list your hardships and we can help you brainstorm some more. Trust me, there have been people that have been approved with no real medical problems or children. Don't lose hope. You are so close to reaching a happy end. Take care.

Hello! I think that I need to correct you, my pre-cancer cells are GONE! I have the waiver finished but need help with the medical section. For example, I have asthma and allergies to bees, wheat, hay fever, dairy, poultry, etc. I also have mild depression. I have young parents who are in their late 50s; however, they don't have too many medical issues to where I need to take care of them now. I really want to send my husband over there to take care of this because I was dealing with a terrible landlord who threw us out due to discrimination. Ironically, though, he's an immigrant too. I feel ridiculous with flopping back and forth: he's going, he's not going.....etc. Thanks for encouragement!
Edit:
I just finished with talking with a naturopath doctor who has helped me with my limited health issues, where I cured myself from OB/GYN health issues. The medical realm has pretty much failed me where medicines that I took never worked. Thus, I current take homeopathic remedies, vials of liquid treatments from the state of CO. There's no way that Honduras sells these treatments and it would be impossible to ship them without breakage, theft, etc. So, I guess that I am taking all of this on a different slant that kind of slams the US medical care system. My MD doesn't know what to do anymore. I don't see the harm in me, as a human, taking responsibility for my health and using it as a major hardship. Does anybody else not have medical hardships?
