Rating:  | Review Topic: IR-2 Visa
My interview was yesterday and it went well. Everyone is really friendly. There are two lines and we had to stand in the right one if you are facing the embassy. You are not called in the order that you enter, so no need to be there too early. They are now asking for the folio and not the Expediente de Vida birth certificate, but they still accepted it (although I don't know for how much longer). I got an email 6 days before my interview telling me exactly what they needed. Since I sent a lot of evidence (pictures, letters,etc.) with my I130 they didn't need that again. My appointment was at 7 and we were out by 10, but we were towards the middle of all the people being interviewed. They asked my 13 yo stepson
1) when did your father leave
2) have you seen him since
3) he showed him one of the pictures and asked him who was he
4) he asked him how he communicates with him
5) how is his father, his temperament
And he asked me
1) when did I meet my husband
2) have I met my stepson before
Visa Approved
They said it'd be ready in 5 to 10 days

Visa was ready on September 20, one week later. I kept checking on the website, but I received an email when it was shipped from the embassy to cargo express. So no need to stress over that.
Also, for anyone trying to take a child out of the country without both parents have the letter of authorization ready. It only takes two days for a letter coming from a parent residing in the country, the authorization from the US takes going to the consolate/embassy in US, getting the aposillada letter to Honduras and taking it the the Secretaria de Relaciones Exteriores, which takes a week to get back.
