| Embassy Review : |
My fiance stayed the night before the interview at econo hotel b&b (~$50 price), about a block away from the embassy. Her interview was scheduled for 7am, the hotel owner told her not to walk over until 6:30am because of a recent change where they’ll tell you to come back later if you show up too early (i.e. the 5:30am arrival recommendations from previous reviews).
When she arrived, a guard asked her which visa she was applying for, and after hearing it was a k1 visa, let her skip the line of around 52 b2 visa applicants. She didn’t bring her phone, so had no trouble entering. She waited from 7am until 9am. Then she was called up to hand in her required documents. She was missing the original copy of the dpi police report (forgot it in san pedro..ugh), but she showed them a photocopy and told them that she could bring the original later in the afternoon (a family member had business in tegus that day and thankfully was able to bring the original with them). The embassy was fine with that, and asked her to wait some more.
Around 11am, she was called in for the interview. The officer noticed that our whatsapp conversations were in both English and Spanish, and told her that must mean her English is pretty good. She said yes, and he said, great, we can do the interview in English (his first language). He said, we’re going to do this quick. She was asked only three questions. 1] How/when did you meet. What dating site? 2] Tell me three things about your fiance’s personality 3] How many times has your fiancé visited Honduras.
Then he said, congratulations, it looks like you’re approved. He gave her a green form allowing her to return between 2-3pm that same day with the original dpi police certificate. He also gave her a sheet describing how to create the profile on cargo express so she can get the visa.

Timeline Comments: None yet, be the first!
*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.
