| Embassy Review : |
I was not able to go to Honduras with my husband for the interview because of my daughter and school schedule. My husband had his interview Tuesday, August 2, 2018 at 9:15am, my husband said he left about an hour before his interview appointment and said he dressed like if he was going to a job interview, there is no cellphones allowed or backpack or purses just your paperwork so make sure thats all you have my husband said there was people that did not listen to the instructions and they threw away their purse or backpacks. Once he was past the line he said he went to a window (kind of like the DMV) gave the documents that they asked for and sat down while he waited to be called. While he was waiting to be called he said he kept hearing other people being called and people going in rooms with the immigration officers, the he heard his name being called through the same window (he thought they probably need more information or documents the lady started to ask basic questions:
1.How many time have you entered the USA?
2. Have you ever been arrested in Honduras or the US?
3. Is this your first marriage?
4. Is this your wife's first marriage?
5. Do you have children?
6. What is your child's name?
The immigration officer said "Congratulations, your visa has been approved and it should arrive around 5 business days!"
My husband said he was in shock in how fast that went and they did not ask anymore questions as well that they only asked for less of the stuff they told him to check. The passport with the visa stamped to it came in the mail in exactly four days, I suggest you go in person and check in three days sometimes he gets there earlier than five days but if you call they will not check for you only if you go in person. My husband left back to United States the same day he received the visa so in total he was only out of the country two weeks and two days. I know it is a very scary and super nerve-racking situation but if you have been honest in your application, completed the medical exam, obtained the Honduran birth certificate, and the Honduras criminal background everything should run smoothly. Be prepared and take everything they ask on the to-do list you never know what they may ask for in the interview, good luck to anyone going through this journey! |
