Here's what happened yesterday at my interview in Honduras US Embassy
My interview was set at 9am, I got to the embassy around 8:40am, waited around 10 mins in the line for inmigrant visas then I was send to windows 1 where the lady asked me for the interview letter, she marked her paper then she send me to security line, after I passed security I got to the waiting room after 15 mins they called my name to windows 4 this representative too my fingerprints and asked for:
- Birth certificate
- Passport
- 2 photos 2x2
- Honduras police record
- Medical exams
- Waiver 601 Approval ( this was not included in P4)
And then she asked me if I have any proof of my relationship with my petitioner so I gave her:
- Warranty deed of our house in Miami
- Documents of our business
- 10 photocopies of airplane tickets and Hotel reservations of trips we have made together in the past 2 years
- Photos of our wedding, wedding dinner with friends, honeymoon, photos with my husband Family in Puerto Rico, photos of some others trips, photos of parties at our house with about 70 friends invited, photos of my husband campaign (he was running for a mayor for a city in Puerto Rico.
- photocopies of the newspaper showing him as the first gay man running for mayor in Puerto Rico ( article shows a photo of us )
- Photo of some interview we made at Univision, Telemundo and some radio stations.
- Photocopies of bills showing the address we live (FPL, water bill, cable, credit cards we have together.
NONE of my photos were in a album, I just printed about 300 photos and I took them in the little folders shutterfly sent them to me. I just marked each folder saying where those photos were taken.
Then the lady told me to wait in the waiting room that the consul will call me in a while, the waiting room was packed apparently with a lot of people from 7am interviews. At 11:40am i was called to window 3 this lady gave me a paper to come back at 1pm cause they were a little busy to interview me before 12. ( Thanks God this happened I had to run to the hotel to packed my stuff check out in that hotel was at 1pm so I had to leave my bag in the bell desk)
Then I went back to the embassy ( the hotel is located a block from there) Got to the embassy showed to security the paper they gave me earlier to come back at 1pm.
Then after 20 mins they FINALLY called my name to window 4 at that point I was very anxious to finish with all of this.
Consul just asked:
- How we met
- What date we got married
- What city in the states we live
- and if I ever got trouble with the police ( I said that the only problem I had was driving without driving license, I sent the court records to NVC showing that my case was dismissed)
Then he started to give me some of the documents that was send to NVC and also all the photos, travel tickets and he started talking me about my rights in the US and he highlighted a paper saying that I was APPROVED but i couldn't see this paper from the other side of the window so I asked him if i was Approved? He said Yes Sir.
He told me to wait about 5 days to get my visa package and the passport. At the moment I was crying, finally after 12 yrs of living ILLEGALLY in the State I will be able to feel free. Although I had accomplished so much this feeling of being legally is PRICELESS.
I'll be back in the state hopefully March 30, POE Miami
I'll write details about it when I arrive.
