On 9/15/14, my husband and I attended the scheduled interview. I had my 6 yeard old daughter with us. The process was about 2 hours long. They do have booth and lockers to put belongings such as electronics.
I am fluent in English and Spanish, my husband only Spanish. We waited in line so we can check in for the interview. The first representative was very nice. She asked questions about our relationship, the amount of trips I have taken to Ecuador. The second interviewer was an American that spoke Spanish, who appeared to be the supervisor. I did't really care for his attitude. As i said my daughter was involved in the process, so when the interviewer asked what is the address to where we live in Connecticut, my 6 year old answer. He looked at her and told her young lady this is very serious matter. I held my mouth because unless my daughter was rude and disrespectful I would normally be okay with his chastising. But clearly he was not in good mood, and I was... read complete review

Estuve a las 7am en el consulado y todas las personas que teníamos una cita ese día tuvimos que hacer una gran fila. mi cita era a las 7:40am. Después de 25 minutos la fila empezó a caminar, y una persona afuera del consulado me pregunto por mi nombre y hora de la cita. en un papel escribió un número y me dijo que pase a la seguridad.

I had been stressing about the K-1 process for over 6 months and I'm happy to say this part of our journey is over!! My fiancé had his interview about two weeks ago in Guayaquil and was APPROVED! After reading several consulate reviews I was super nervous about the interview, so I decided I (USC) would be present…and I'm glad I was. I think that made our case stronger, although I saw one guy get approved without. Interview was straight forward 4 questions at the first window 4 questions at the second window.
At the first window we were asked
1. how did you meet?
2. Whats dates did you serve in the Peace Corps in Ecuador.
3. After your service how many times have you seen each other.
4. Do you have any current visas to the US? (asked my fiancé)
Then the wait for another 1hr or so…. then the second round of questions.
1. How did you meet?
2. Are guys going to have civil or clerical marriage?
3. How man... read complete review

The supervisor of the Immigrant visa section was extremely rude, asking personal questions not pertinents to our case, making derrogatory statements as of the nature and length of our relationship. He took almost 10 minutes to decide that the proof provided which were pictures, flight itineraries and US fiance's passport stating the actual 3 entries in 2014 were not sufficient, calling our pictures 'selfies' and questioning as of why more people were not in our pictures. He placed us in "Administrative Processing" and it wasn't until a formal repoonse letter from US lawyer plus 53 screenshot pages of daily skpe conversations, going back to April 2014; plus 41 additional pictures which included friends and their pets; plus over 10 pages of e-mails back dated to April 2014... for the embassy to finally send an e-mail that based on the additional information provided, the K1 Visa was approved. It is really a shame that US officers behave in such a negative and predisposed way on foreign s... read complete review

Long story short (don't have much time right now) I had read all the horror stories here describing the worst. Frankly, I am wondering if there is a different Guayaquil somewhere else because NO ONE, literally NO ONE was rude mean or anything of the sort. Everyone was at the least polite and at best actually friendly. I had all the proper documentation ready for my fiancee and it was actually mostly a matter of waiting waiting and waiting some more. Finally they called us together and really they spent 15 minutes with us and really only asked us 3 or 4 questions and of that, none of them were very serious (i mean i was asked if i speak English lol). I don't know if they completely overhauled the staffing as a result of negative publicity or what, but really, as far as dealing with government bureaucracy goes, I have had far worse experiences. the 4 out of 5 is simply because the young intern monitoring the queue had less knowledge and experience than the local security guards and the g... read complete review
