Hey! I am from Ecuador and we are having a bunch of issues, so I am not sure about how the consulate is working right now. I am gonna have my interview in a few months. Somebody that has beed there recently? Thanks 🩷

Inquiring if anyone knows what the Ecuador protocol is if an applicant's passport is lost by the contracted document carrier? Wife requested her passport back during our admin processing so she could visit family, and a sick parent, after not seeing them for 5 years, and while she was out of the country, Immigration requested her passport to be returned. Once she returned to Ecuador and pickuped the package from Immigration, they had returned all of our documents, evidence and photos with a form solely asking her to return her passport to them. A lawyer advised us that she had probably been finally approved and just needed her passport back to complete the visa application since they consider this a missing document. So, she shipped it by the contracted carrier, DHL, and she actually had to show the DHL employee it was her passport she was including in the package and that was July 4th. As of today, July 11, it is officially lost, via DHL and they are "searching" for it. SMH. Were originally told it was delivered to the wrong city but who knows if that's the truth. So, anyone know what Ecuador Immigration's protocol for this situation might be or ever heard of a similar situation in another country? Unfortunately, we probably aren't the first passport document delivery that has been lost by the shipper. Thanks for any and all feedback!

Hey! My partner and I are trying to fill the I129-F but we have some questions... We made a letter of intent to marry and e-signed, is it valid? We e-signed some other letters, but we are not 100% sure about it How long would it take to get some court documents from California and Denver, how can he get those? Does he need to explain them in detail? We don't have any pics from the proporsal, do we need them? Also do we need letters from out families? We are not very close to any of them, besides I still live at home but with super strict parents.

Does ANYONE know when to expect interview letter after DQ for Guayaquil? Can’t find ANYTHING online 😩

Hi everyone, I'm currently in the K1 process and my fiancée will be having her interview at the embassy in Guayaquil, Ecuador. I have read some posts on this forum from a few years back where it was urged that the petitioner be in-person at the interview with the beneficiary or there would be a great risk of denial or a request for a secondary interview and more evidence. I was planning on visiting my fiancée one more time before the interview comes but my dilemma is that Ecuador allows a tourist to visit for 90 days visa free, but if you leave the country within those 90 days you cannot return until one calendar year from your original entry (mine would be June 20). So my question is, would it be better to just hold on until the interview comes in order to be there in person, or would an additional visit outweigh the potential consequences of me not attending the interview in person?

I was DQ. How long does it take for Guayaquil to send interview letter?
