Waivers (I-601 and I-212) and Administrative Processes (221g)New 'Lock Box' I-601 processing

:star: Instead of submitting the I-601 at individual consulates, after June 4th the process was 'centralized'. Has anyone experienced this new processing and what was the processing times? :wow: :luv:


I have relatives in Honduras going through this process right now. They arrived at the US Embassy in Tegu on August 2nd, 2012 to submit all of their I-601 documents unknowing that the waivers were not being processed at the consulates any longer. It has been a month now and they have not heard any word on the status or location of their waiver.

I just don't understand why they were allowed to submit and leave the I-601 waiver there when it was no longer being processed at the Embassy.

After doing some digging of my own though, I did find a link that gives a fairly accurate estimate of processing time: http://honduras.usem...is_waivers.html

Best of Luck to you!

IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & ProceduresName Difference after Wedding
I'm very new to VisaJourney.com, as this is my very first post! :thumbs: My fiance and I are getting married abroad in November. We plan on filing the paperwork immediately after our wedding to get the process started. Therefore there will be no time or oppurtunity for me to legally change my name in the U.S.A. I would like to think that by taking my new husband's last name, it would show great depth of our relationship and help solidify the Bona-Fide status.

Would it be a wise decision for me to simply change my name in the U.S. before I travel abroad for our wedding? If I do, would I still be able to travel with my Passport? (I will only be hyphenating my maiden and married names)

Thanks for any help!!

Great! We have been together for almost 9 years so I have tons of pictures! Sorting through them and narrowing the select few down will be the tough part. :)

Guys, thank you so much for your Imput! Things seem clearer for me now. We have oodles of evidence that our relationship is bonafide already, so I will simply focus on other things and prepare for the future.


Thanks Again!

That's very confusing. All of the other info forums here that detail how to prepare and what to include in the I130 specifically say to include as much evidence of bonafide relationship, including financial support and comingling of accounts.

You do not need to prove that you have financially supported your spouse/ fiance.



I understand that it is not a necessity. We are simply looking to provide a valuable spectrum of evidence to show our comingling of finances.

Kinda confused. Are you submitting the i130 and engaged?


We are getting married the beginning of November and I am preparing my documents in advance to make sure I have everything I need prepared so we can file as soon as we say "I do!"

Hi all!

I'm in the middle of collecting all my documents to submit the I-130. I'm getting stuck on providing proof that I have financially supported my fiance. I have all the documents and statements, but are so many needed. I have 7 years of statements. Should I send a sampling from all 7 years? Or simply send the most recent statements?

Unfortunatly, I am not able to add my fiance as a joint account holder to my U.S. accounts, as the banks require he be present with a SS#. Upon my next trip to Honduras, we will be adding me to his accounts. In your experience, by having joint Honduran accounts and showing my financial support from the U.S., will that be sufficient evidence?

Thank you soooooo much!
