Hi! I'm going through the AOS process for myself through marriage and received the same letter the OP posted asking for the copy of the folio de nacimiento en Honduras. My aunt back in the capital can get it for me but I'm still unclear on whether getting it authenticated is sufficient, or whether it also needs an apostille (apostilla)? Also, how long after you sent in the copy of the birth folio did your case get accepted? Thank you so much! 

We didn't get a apostille but whatever is safer for you.

 

It was like 8 months after

Thank you for replying! Glad to hear it all worked out for you in the end.

Once we sent in the correct paperwork, they accepted case like 40 days later.

After submitting  the copy of the birth folio and getting the interview, how was the interview like? 
did the officer requested for the birth folio or just the regular copy of the birth certicate?  
 did he make any comments about it?

The interview was awful.

 

I got this guy who I swear must've been police or military.  He had that "cop" tone of authority that was very intimidating.  I remember going in he asked us for our ID's and passports.  My wife was previously divorced so he was slowly and intently looking for a problem with any of her paperwork.  Repeating these actions multiple times and bringing up the smallest of details by which to critique.  My driver's license was never updated and had a different address on it, so he promptly accused us of not living together.  

 

The folio of birth was exactly none of the issue.  He never even mentioned it.

 

On Dec 23rd I received an NOID due to his belief that we didn't live together (despite the over 100 photos we provided of our relationship, bank statements, affidavits).

 

We had to hire another lawyer and submitted a 350+ page response.  It was not pretty.

 

I probably got the worst consular you could get.  So don't expect your experience to be as bad as mine.  Here's our timeline:

Just like wolf39us said, dont expect your experience to be like his.

 

My husband and I got the sweetest lady you could ever get. We were extremely fortunate. She approved us the same day.

How do you translate the folio Copy? It seems a lot details, or you did not translate ?

Hi! I used a transcribe service online. It took a lot of back and forth because they had to fix a lot of things but it ended up right in the end.

If you are comfortable with both languages you COULD do it.  That being said, if you really wanna be sure, just use a translate service.

 

By the way, on my situation... we have now filed for removal of conditions in Feb.  So far so good.  Just have to wait for her new 10 year!
