Hello,

I'm new to the board. These questions are for my daughter..I'm trying to see the best avenue for my daughter to take. She has fallen in love w/a Honduran man. He has lived in the U.S. 4years. Undocumented, no crime,etc..

Do you think they'd have a better chance of getting the waiver approved if they weren't married or if they were married. I know that if they were married my daughter would have to prove a hardship. What kind of waiver does one apply for if they aren't married yet,etc....?

Obviously, we are trying to do the most favorable thing.

Thank you,
Ama444

it doesnt really matter - they will have to proove hardship anyway, married ot not.Some people say, it actually takes less tome for fiance visa, then for immigrant. Matter is time and finance. Please correct me if i am wrong

I applied for K-1 Fiance Visa and had to submit an I-601 Waiver (Mexico). I'm happy to report that we have had our waiver approved, received the visa, entered the country and married. We began our process April 2006 and finalized September 2007. The K-1 process is faster for getting an interview as appointments are "Open".

Did you have a similar background as I had mentioned about the young man that I'm talking about? Already in the U.S. Returning home to apply for a Fiance Visa, etc... What kind of hardship would you have to prove if you weren't married? My daughter does not live w/this man, no children, etc...We still support her....

My now husband was never in the U.S. illegally though we did have to submit a waiver. We were fiances at the time, no children. My hardships were geared more toward my children from a previous marriage, my parents health and all the hardships I would endure as a USC in Mexico. There are wonderful examples of approved Hardships in the waiver section you can take a look at. I'm not at all versed in the ins and outs of illegal presence etc.etc. though I know someone will chime in. I am also unaware of the approval rate of those applying in Honduras.
