Everybody's appointment in the Tegucigalpa Consulate are at 7:30am. Most people show up way before that time, normally between 5:00-7:00am. We got there at 6:30ish or so and there was a long line for Immigrant visas and an even longer line for non-immigrant visas. Make sure you ask the guards which is your line and ask the people in the line what they are there for. My husband asked guard1 which line was for IV and said line A. I got there 10 min later and asked gurard1 the same question and he said line B. We finally asked people in line B what they were there for and they said regular visa, so we switched. At about 7:00am you go through security. The female guards are not pleasant. Of course these people don't get paid well enough to deal with the public. After security you get a number from a lady after you show her your appointment email. You sit down inside according to this number. Then a Honduran lady (one of 3) asks to see your passport and your number. She checks off her list and you sit down again. A while later you get called to get fingerprinted. After everybody gets fingerprinted, the 3 ladies start calling people to make sure all paperwork is ready. If you did not submit something at NVC, they collect it now. They ask who is petitioning for you and a brief history of your relationship. We were only asked for pictures and another divorce decree. If you have extra paperwork thatr you submitted, they return it to you. After everybody gets done, the interviews start. This took about 30 -45 min after the last person was interviewed. I don't know what order they use to call people as we were interview 5 or so but our ticket number was 12. We got there, I took my oath and was asked: 1. who is petitioning me? 2. is this my 1st marriage? 3. is this his first marriage? 4. do i have kids? 5. does he have kids? 6. what are their names? 7. do they live with him? "At this point your visa is approved". I was asked to go back at 3:45pm to pick up my passport. And that was it. I gave it a 4 because the guards could be nicer. The Embassy personnel were very nice
