In "Neither x nor y", keep "x" and "y" parallel in grammar
Unfortunately,
neither *have I* finished my work
nor my assignment
yet.
This first option is unsatisfactory because the "neither" part is a verb-type thing, while the "nor" is a noun.
Unfortunately, I have
neither *finished* with my work
nor my portfolio
yet.
This second option has the same problem: the "neither" option is a verb-type thing.
Unfortunately, I have
neither *finished* my work
nor my portfolio
yet.
Sadly, I don't like this option either, for the same reason.
I suggest a fourth option:
Unfortunately, I have finished
neither my work
nor my portfolio.
You could keep the yet at the very end, but I think the sentence is easier to understand without it, because it is easier to see the exact parallelism between the "neither" and the "nor" parts.
