Consulate Review: Honduras
Review Topic: General Review
Event Description
Review Date : October 27, 2025
Embassy Review : My husband's overall experience at the embassy was good, but I do have to say that some of the Honduran employees at the embassy are ridiculosly rude!!! He had a paperwork review on October 15, which went pretty well except that the agent (Honduran) kept asking for a W-2, which I do not have because I worked in Honduras for 7 years - all my tax transcipts were there, but I think the lady was confused with U.S. tax law. My husband witnessed several people being screamed at the window by the paperwork agents, (all Honduran) and said one woman next to him was actually shaking she was so scared.

The interview on the 27th went well, the officer (American) he said was very kind, and asked questions about how long we shared an apartment when I lived in Honduras, where we would be living in the States, what city did my parent's live in, when he planned on moving to the States, and how we met. Before the initial interview, he was called to a window where again he was asked about the W-2, and when he tried to explain the agent (Honduran) again got upset and rude saying, she didn't need an explanation, but have I or have I not been filing taxes to which he said yes, and she moved him forward to his interview.

The woman that conducted his interview understood the W-2 situation, and after answering the questions congradulated him on his visa and gave him a form explaing how to pay the immigration fees.

Overall a great experience with American staff- with the Honduran staff not so much.
Rating : Good

Hello, congratulations! Could you please tell me how the pre-interview process went? Did it come automatically or did you have to write to the embassy? What documents did you bring during the interview and what questions did they ask you? Thank you very much. Have a nice day.
KMG on 2025-10-27 said:
They will send you an appointment for the preinterview. About 12 days before your schedule appointment. (see my review above). Some of the Honduran agents are ridiculously rude...
KMG on 2025-10-27 said:
Also bring all the documents you uploaded for the NVC
DFran on 2025-11-09 said:

KMG on 2025-11-09 said:
Yes. Once approved it goes quickly.

*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.

** Not all cases are transfered
