This our experience with the GYE consulate. Our appointment was set for 10 am, we showed up at 8:30 and waited together in line (quick shout out to Unipark hotel! awesome service, great food, comfortable rooms... totally recommended) When they called us, a guy from the consulate said we couldn't go in together, just me, so he made my fiance leave the consulate and wait outside "until he's asked to go in if required". I was about to freak out and break in tears! But I stayed there, waited for my turn. Make sure they give you the RED badge, not the yellow one.
So I went in, sat down and waited for them to call my name. They finally did and was called to the cashier window. The girl there was very serious, she asked the following questions:
-Have you ever been to the US
-When did you meet your fiance
-Does he have kids
-Do you have kids
-Do you have any brothers or sisters
-When did you meet your fiance (again)
-Write your fiance's ... read complete review

We had our appointment at 10am and we showed up at 9am so they didn\'t let us in until 30 minutes prior;so, at around 930 they called us in and checked out appointment letter. They checked our papers before we walked into the building and they told us to keep the cell phone battery out of the cell phone and then they took it from us and gave us a number so we can get it back after we were done.
Then we sat in the back room where is the \"resident visa\" because the room in the front was the \"tourist visa\"
They called us around 10:25am and asked for our forms and I offered them more proves of our relationship and they said \"no thank we have enough\" and they asked my fiancée everything, they didn\'t ask me anything. They took all the forms, births certificate, police records, medical papers, my income tax 2012 only, 3 pay check from my job and the letter from the bank, they did not take or even look at my employer letter
The first lady asked my fiancée if she ... read complete review

As I lived in Ecuador with my husband for years before the interview, I accompanied him that day. Since we live several hours away from Guayaquil, we went to stay with friends in Portoviejo the day before the interview, and got a bus at 2 AM on May 29th so we would get there on time. We arrived in the city at around 5 AM, and got to the consulate at around 5:45 AM. We were surprised to see around 20 people already waiting outside, and got in line behind them. At around 7 AM, a man came out and separated the crowd into two lines: one for non-immigrant visas, and another for immigrants. The NIV line went in first, and then the IV line. We all got visitor's tags (yellow for NIV and red for IV) after giving the man the copy of the P4 email and showing him our passport photos. We gave our cell phone to the security guard inside, who gave us a ticket to get it back afterwards, and went into the back room.
As instructed here on VJ, we sat in the very back of the room. The room... read complete review

We had a good experience at the consulate. You wait outside on the sidewalk until they call your appointment time, about 30 minutes before your appointment. Our appointment was at 10:00 and we got there at 9:00 just to have time to see how things worked. We had no problems passing through security- we only brought our papers in manila envelopes- we didn't bring bags or cell phones. Make sure to say that you are there for a visa de residencia, the only other choice is tourismo, and we gave them the print out of our appointment confirmation. We handed all our paperwork to the first woman who called us up. She asked my fiance questions while I stood with him but she didn't ask me anything directly. We had to leave to retake his photos because they weren't of his head only- it wasn't a big deal but just be very careful with the specifications they ask for. When we got back with the pictures he had his fingerprints done. Then we were called up to a second woman who asked more questions- aga... read complete review

Yesterday was our interview. I was disgusting prepared and still kind of stressed out. Our interview was at 10 so we got there at 930 and was able to push around the tourist visas to get to the immigrant visa line.
We were escorted in. We left everything in the hotel besides our papers in manila envelopes. Everyone was very friendly. Once inside we sat downstairs in the immigrant visa section and waited to be called. First we were called up to a window to hand in our papers. It was really hard to hear the woman and she was very "fria" but by the end she was nice and told me to stop giving her evidence because what I gave was sufficient. She asked questions and typed up the answers. My fiance then got his fingerprint done and we were called up to the next window where an american woman asked us about 10 questions and said your visa is approved. We were back in the hotel by 1030. It was a really process for us which I was not expecting. And the thing I was surprised most about wa... read complete review
