The US consulate in Costa Rica was very easy to work with. Once we arrived for our interviews, we waited about 1 1/2 hours before we were called up to the window. We were very organized so it helped the process once we got to the window. We were informed that we lacked a specific type of birth certificate for my fiance's son. It's called a digital birth certificate. My fiance had never heard of such a thing and to this day, no one we have asked has heard of such a thing, but it does exist. If you fiance has a child, MAKE SURE YOU GET A DIGITAL BIRTH CERTIFICATE FOR THEM FROM THE REGISTRO CIVIL. Once we had the certificate in hand, we went back to the consulate and they let us right in. Our case worker called us right up to the window and we gave him the certificate. He then told us that her son was approved. We had our visas in hand 3 day later. They were very kind, easy to talk to, and even funny. We really enjoyed our interview experience.

Hi guys, me and my GF were waiting to hear from the embassy so we could continue with our petition here in CR. I was told that once they call you you can go to Pavas and retrieve the package but in our case we got an email listing the documents we need before scheduling the appointment. Is this common? If you got the package before the interview... what was inside?
Thanks for your help!
Ricardo!

My fiance and I had a very pleasant experience for our K1 visa interview. We scheduled our interview online and arrived about 15 minutes early. They were very behind - we waited about an hour for our interview, but from there it moved quickly. I was allowed to accompany my fiance during the interview which was great - we both answered questions. We first interviewed with one officer, who was very friendly. We had all of our documents prepared and ready which was appreciated and made things go smoothly. After asking basic questions and getting all of the documents, he had us go sit back down and about 10 minutes later we met with a second officer, who asked us a few more questions before letting us know we were APPROVED! 
USCIS was having problems printing visas so we didn't get our package until the following week, but that worked out fine as we booked our tickets for two weeks after the interview and you could track the visa package and its arrival.... read complete review

Just have your documents organized and it will work fine. Everything was like I read on the reviews here. Whole process took about 1hr, waiting time included.
