Our K-1 visa interview was on April 25th, 2011. We arrived at 7am and waited in the 'residency' line. We were the first to go into the embassy. They had everyone go up to the window to check-in. Then they called everyone up by number to take ink prints. We waited our turn to be called up again. They called up my fiancee and asked some basic questions: Who was his fiance? How did we meet? How long was I in the country for? Who did I work for (while living in Honduras)? When was our wedding date? They took our documents at that point and told him to sit down. I had way more documentation they we needed, so they only took the documents they wanted. About 10-15 minutes later we were called into a private room where they took digital prints. They told us our packet was put together well & they liked our wedding invite. The lady said the purpose of the meeting was to verify that we had a real relationship, which we did. Then asked my fiancee if he was ready to go the States. We had to go back the next day to get his passport with the visa sticker in it.
The only thing I wish I would have known was to bring exact change. They will not make change and they will not except half in dollars - half in lempiras. (The bank is 5 blocks away and they will only exchange $200/person).
Everyone was very nice and very professional.

My interview was scheduled for February 28. This was our journey......
Two weeks before our interview, my husband and I went to do the medicals exam with Dr. Fernando Tome en Clinicas Medicas, Tegucigalpa. There are only 3 doctors in tegus that are allow to do these exams, so you just enter the Honduras Embassy Web and there you look for their addresses and phone numbers. Since I had my child vaccunes papers, I spend 5,000 lps in total including, xrays, blood exams, Aids exam, and the physical exam that the doctor personally do it. We stayed at the Hotel Plaza Libertador which is a comfy, nice hotel, 75$ a night. This hotel is 5 minutes in cab to the embassy. In Tegus, there are cheaper hotels near the embassy (like Granada Hotel), but due that my husband is paranoic with Tegus insecurity and been a disorder city, we stayed there.
Our interview was scheduled at 7:30 am. We arrive at 6:45 am. We were like the third ones in the line. Make sure, to ask the guard which is the residence line, because you may get confuse and stand by in the tourist visa line, but you know which is the residence line because it is the shortest..
My interview went pretty nice. I may say, that I always prayed God to have a nice Consular Office, and I did have a nice lady interviwing me.
First you get your ticket, then the guard assests you to sit down. Then you got to wait getting called. Since we did an expedite, our case didn't touched the NVC, so right there in the embassy in less than 10 minutes my visa application and AOS were checked and we paid the 404$. If you by any case do this, make sure
to have with you the exact amount of money because they don´t give change.
After like 20 minutes of waiting, we were called again to take my fingerprints and we had like a pre-interview. Simple questions like were we met, how many times my husband has visit me, date of our marriage and birth. These answers, the lady write them down and then she said ok now wait that you are going to be called for a second interview.
Another 30 minutes passes, and we were called. Thanks God my husband was allowed to enter with me. Sometimes they allow it, sometimes not. The first thing that the Consular Office said was that we have nice photos, and she showed us two photos and ask me to say where and with whom this photos where taken. I dont know that if this has something to do, but out of 60 photos, she picked the ones that had the date on it. Then she ask if I had sons, if my husband had sons, when we got marrige, how and where we met. Nothing difficult to be asked if you have a sincere and real relationship. Well, everthing went fine, BUT we didn´t have the correct birth certificates of both. The one "en foma literal". Make sure to submit this correct format, because there were several applicants with this mistake. "En forma literal" is the one that says who your grand parents were. It takes a month (at least here in SPS) to get it.
So we were given a paper that said that our visa was temporarly refuse due that we didn't have the correct birth certificate and that as soon as we submit the correct form, the visa will be approved.
So we got the documents one week later the interview, and personally mailed it to the Tegucigalpa embassy in the porton 3 mail. One week later, we were called that the visa was approved, that we just have to go to the embassy to give the passport. Next day we were on Tegus. On the morning we went to give them my passport (just that, no interview, no questions,no nothing) I mentioned this, because I was a bit scared to have another interview, but no Thanks God. They just gave me a ticket to go to the embassy the same day at 3:45 pm to pick up my passport with the visa.
So happy that everything has ended...! Keep the faith and patience in this long journey!!!!

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

Our appointment was 1/13/10 @7:30am. Once inside the embassy you wait to be called not in the order you arrived but in order of a list they have. We arrived @ 5am (we didn't want to be the last to enter) and left the embassy @ 2pm. We were approved thank God, but out of the 30 Immigrigant cases only 5 were approved. I advise everyone to take as much proof of your relationship as possible, and to make sure you have everything(including copies of originals)they are asking. Also its best to take proof that you are planning the wedding (dress/engagement ring/wedding band). You are fist called to give all paperwork then told to pay the interview fee then called to pre-interview you and if you are missing something they will let you know.
The Lady that took our papers and pre-interviewed us asked:
When/Where/How we met
Further explain how we met
How many times I had traveled to see him
If my fiance had ever been in the US
Then we were called to have my fiance take his fingerprints.
Then we were one of the last to be called for the interview by the counsel officer & the interview took maybe 5-10 min in which he asked over 15 questions and this is what I can remember that he asked:
Do we talk in english or spanish
Explain how we met
Name of person who introduced us
Where that person lived
Do I know how to cook
Where I lived
Did I live alone or with someone
My daughters name
Where we took the pictures we presented
The date we took the pictures
Who certain person in the picture was
Who's paying for the wedding
What we had prepared for the wedding
All of this was asked to both of us but I knew it was best to let my fiance answer I only answered when necessary or further explained the answers my fiance gave.
He tells you right there if your visa is approved. He told us we were approved and come back tomorrow @ 4pm and pickup the visa. The next day we were there and they said that they were not able to print the visa and come back Tuesday and maybe it would be ready. There were people who had been there 3 or more times trying to pickup there passports and visas and they were told various times that they were not ready. Thank God my fiance visa was in fact ready on Tuesday. God is good and we are gratefull we were approved. God Bless.

Interview was quite easy. My fiance had never received the packet stating the date of his interview. I randomly checked the embassy website only to find his case number listed with an interview date ten days later. After massive amounts of panicking, I bought airline tickets, got info together and headed to the appointment. I confirmed the date with the embassy over email and printed that sheet out, just in case. Our appointment was for 7:30am. We arrived at the embassy at 6:30am and were let in at 7am. We got in line and a woman took our papers. We then waited about 20 minutes and my fiance got his fingerprints taken. We then sat back down and waited about an hour and the woman called us up to review our papers. She asked my fiance when we met, when we started dating, and how we communicated (in Spanish, obviously). She then told us to sit down and wait for the interviewer to call us. We waited about 30 minutes and were called in. The woman who interviewed us was very nice and spoke perfect Spanish. She proceeded to ask my fiance a bunch of questions like how we met, to describe our relationship, when we started talking about getting married, what I had been doing in Honduras, what type of work I did now, where I lived, our plans for getting married, my birthday, etc. My fiance was a bit nervous and didn't forgot a lot of the answers. I chimed in every once in a while. The woman didn't seem to mind that his answers were perfect though. She then said that everything looked good and that he could return the following day at 4pm to pick up his visa. Success.  We were very nervous about the interview, but in reality, it was very easy and smooth. Everyone at the embassy was nice and helpful. A great experience.
