Had to wait in secondary for about 20 minutes. Officer asked about any immigration offenses. My wife was a little confused on how to answer since they already knew she had a waiver. So she originally answered no. The officer got annoyed and asked again, then she remembered to mention the unlawful presence for which she had a waiver. She was granted entry. |

It’s finally over. Between meeting, provisional waiver, consular processing and now naturalization, this has been 17 years of our lives. These forums are priceless. Thank you. |

Everything happened quickly. Our original appointment was cancelled last year, we were told that although the Department of State doesn’t recommend travel to Honduras( we were in the US, with approved I-601A) they would schedule her if she had her documents and medical exam. We travelled back on 2/22. Don’t forget your COVID test and precheck with Honduran immigration if you travel back.
Medical exam was done on 2/24. We were originally told that appointments were taking 5-6 weeks, but of course on 3/2 they called us to come for an interview on 3/4 😆 . So we rushed back to Teg, and showed up for the interview.
Because of COVID I was not allowed in with my wife. They may let spouses in if there are children, but I was not allowed. Wife’s interview was quick, asked
Asked about Date entered, date of marriage, asked if she had tattoos, asked if she was ever arrested, if we had kids and if we were ever married before. Gave us a Felicidades paper, and a stack of papers that I sent to the NVC which they already had. Everyone was professional and respectful. |

Everyone was super professional, was sent to secondary. RIP to the green room, it’s now gray. 😆. Officer looked over paperwork, gave her back her visa. All together about an hour to an hour and half. Definitely don’t book connecting flights less than 3 hours after your first. Thank you USCIS for being professional and courteous. |

*Notice about estimates: The estimates are based off averages of other members recent experiences
(documented in their timelines) for the same benefit/petition/application at the same filing location.
Individual results may vary as every case is not always 'average'. Past performance does not necessarily
predict future results. The 'as early as date' may change over time based on current reported processing
times from members. There have historically been cases where a benefit/petition/application processing
briefly slows down or stops and this can not be predicted. Use these dates as reference only and do not
rely on them for planning. As always you should check the
USCIS processing times to see if your application
is past due.
