We arrived at 7:15, all interviews are set for 7:30am. There was a huge line! Two actually. We checked in with the guard at the door and got in line to the right of the embassy (going downhill). There was only like two people behind us. We got inside just after 7:30, checked cell phones and went through the metal detectors. The visa waiting area is to the right past citizen services.
Checked in at t he ventanillas, showed interview letter, moved to a room with an american guy behind the window they took the letter and digital fingerprints. Then we sat down and waited. Names were called up to the ventanillas and a few were called to 5 which I guess was a small room to the side. The people being called up were missing documents I think, for ventanillas 1-3. About 11:00 they called him up, asked how we met, asked for 20 photos from dating time (we had to take them out of the album), marriage, and current, and they also asked for a new antecedentes De policia (his first was from June). Then we sat down. I went outside to call my mother (they gave me a really hard time). About 15 mins later, we get called to ventanilla 4! There was a really nice American girl interviewing us (not too nice tho).
She asked in spanish
How we met
Has he been to US (no)
How many time Ive been to Honduras (7)
Who will he live with (me and my mom)
When we formally started dating
When/who proposed (him)
If I stayed in Honduras after we started dating until we married (no)
If we are going to have a ceremony in US(yes!) we married less than a week after he proposed
Has he met my mother (yes she is in Honduras now, had her passport for proof but she didnt want to see it)
She asked me in English
Who the cosponsor is
Is he family (no)
Are we realyy going to live with my mom? (yes but we are going to find a place together asap)
Pretty similar to waiting in a DMV, but with uptight guards who think too much of themselves telling you where to sit all the time. A guy came mid morning selling pancakes and coffee, etc.
Went back at 2, they didnt let me in, he walked out about an hour later (people kept coming out) with poe envelope and visad passport!
Ok she said (english) approved, return at 2 for the visa. They gave us back a huge stack of papers and our photos.

I couldn't make it to the first appointment because of financial reasons but my husband said they asked where we met when we were married, and if we had children. He was denied because that is standard procedure and his I-601 waiver appointment is Tuesday, I am so nervous!

Made it in line by 0545 and was first in line for the immigrant visas. waited and turned in all of the required forms and paid the fees. My fiancé and her two daughters (15 and 16) were at the interview. Our interviewer was a younger American woman that was being trained, so he trainer was in the room as well. No problems with any of the questions - they were all softballs like "where did you meet? how long have you been together? what are his children's names?" - stuff like that.
However, we were tripped up on three pieces of paperwork. Since my finacee's oldest daughter turned 16 after we started this process, i failed to realize we needed a police certificate for her too... so we needed to go back to DNIC. we also did not have the correct form of the Honduran birth certificates. Everyone was born in a small village, and the long-form, handwritten certificates were all they had. But these are not the "forma literal" - so we need to go to the registry to get the correct forms. Last, the interviewer requested more proof of the daughters being the daughters of my fiancee. I think this is a mistake, but if they want pictures of them as younger kids, not a problem. I would think all of the other documents are enough, but they want more. Fine, after all this time and paperwork, a few more documents won't be that big of a deal.
I guess now we wait until after they review this additional trivial paperwork. Glad we are not in a hurry.

As long as you have a legitimate relationship, the only thing that you really need to concern yourself with is having the proper documentation. Please do your research and have all of the documents that are asked for. The two biggest items that I noticed was giving people trouble were the birth certificate, "en forma literal or in literal form", and others had police certificates that were too old. The folks at the Embassy have to sift through quite a bit of information and make determinations as to whether or not to grant visas in a relatively short amount of time, so they dont go out of their way to help you, dont take this personally. In addition, they cant do or say anything that would lead someone to believe that they are giving anyone preferrential treatment. Over all our experience at the embassy in Tegucigalpa was positive.
