Wife got in line at 6:30 in the morning, turned away because she had a folder instead of just a regular envelope for her docs. She went back to her hotel across (Oro Verde)the street, and was able to get an envelope to put them in. Let in without had to go through the line again. Sat very close to the CO and was able to hear all the good and horrible interviews conducted by him. She waited for almost 6 hours with only 6 other people left in the room. CO asked why her son is not coming with her and she answer it truthfully (he doesn't want to), where does her husband work, how much does he make, made a couple of stupid jokes, etc. In general, it was a pretty smooth process with the exception of horrible treatment by local rent-a-cop.

I stood in line for my 7:15 am appointment at 6:15 am, and four families were already in line before me just outside the consulate. Just before 7 am, they started checking people's interview letters and photographs to let us into the building. I advise you take nothing but your documents, otherwise they'll make you either throw it away or take it back to your hotel. They scheduled 35 people for 7:15 am that day (all IV applicants, although I was the only CR1), so I'm thinking that how much time in advance you get there really makes no difference. They called people's names in no noticeable order - although my guess is that we were being called based on our NVC case number. Still, I could have arrived at 7:15 am and I feel like it would've been just fine.
They started interviewing applicants at 7:45 am. My name was called to turn in documentation and fact-check at around 9:30 am. A lady asked me the general "how did you meet"/"how long have you been together" kind-of-qu... read complete review

We were able to schedule our appointment as soon as we were able to get our "GYQ" number from the NVC. Lucia paid the $240 bucks at the bank, received the receipt number and we made our appointment on line. We never did receive a letter or package from the consulate. We made our appointment on line, did all the paperwork and showed up.
Another member mentioned problems adding a person to the interview appointment so we did not try that. I wrote to the consulate and was told I only had to show up for the appointment with my fiance and my American passport.
We went together. The people at the gate let Lucia in at 7:30 but for some reason I had to wait until 8 before I could go in. Lucia couldn't carry anything but the visa documents but I was able to process through with "my" purse. Security sorted through my stuff, I had to put lipstick on my hand to show it wasn't some kind of dangerous chemical and they held some items but I was able t... read complete review

We arrived at about 7:55 a.m. for my husband's 8:30 a.m. interview. We learned right away that they literally were going to allow NOTHING but ourselves, our hotel key, and our documents into the building-- we were sent out of the security line to throw away coffee and to leave behind some other miscellaneous things that we had brought with us. Fortunately, the hotel we stayed at was just two blocks away.
Once inside, we waited for about 1.5 hours before being called for the first time to a window where an Ecuadorian employee reviewed our documents. This part made us nervous, first because she said I was missing a financial document of my Dad's W-2 (he did an I-864 to co-sponsor my husband) to show if he really made all the income listed on the form and that it wasn't divided between him and my mother. I explained that my mom is no longer working and showed her some extra copies of my dad's pay stubs which seemed to satisfy her. We became nervous again while talking to he... read complete review
