We arrived at the consulate at 6:30 am for our 7:15 am interview. Besides myself there weren't any other gringos there with family members. When you arrive make sure you have the print out of the email attachment with the interview information because they will keep the front page when you are going in. Also for CR1/IR1 you need 2 passport size photos. Just in case you don't need to bring your x-rays to the interview.
They let us inside the gate a little after 7 am and then we waited in a few different lines before going inside. They made us wait for about half an hour before taking our relationship evidence and remaining documents and asking a few questions. They rejected the first affidavit of support I had submitted but accepted the one I had brought to the interview just in case.
It is pretty chilly inside so don't forget to bring a sweater or wear a long sleeve shirt.
After 2+ hours more of waiting we were called up for an interv... read complete review

Easiest Interview EVER. Our interview was at 8:30, we arrived 30 minutes early, as requested. They called us up to the window at 10:30, went over our papers and evidence (pics, passport stamps, etc), sent my hubby to get fingerprints and then we sat back down. An hour later we went to the first window. The entire interview lasted about 60 seconds. What do we plan to do in the US, where will we live, congrats you're approved. Bam. That was it. The first guy who we worked with spoke excellent Spanish and English and was very friendly. The second guy couldn't speak Spanish and was not exactly unfriendly but certainly not warm. Honestly, I know a half a dozen people who have been approved for visas in the past year who had only been dating for a couple of weeks when they applied or PAID a USC to marry them for a GC. Everyone gets approved here anymore, it seems like.

Well, when I first started educating myself about this process, I read every thread I could find that had something to do with getting a visa out of Guayaquil. And boy, was I shocked to see how hard it had been on some folks. Some people's stories really saddened me, as this could be me in a few months.
So I soaked in all the information and decided the best thing was to create a good package for USCIS and by following the K1 guide here on VJ, I, without realizing it, front-loaded our petition. I included like 20 emails showing our relationship and 4 pictures of us. Front-loading is providing evidence of an on-going relationship when filing the petition, it is not really a requirement at this time, but in some consulates, like Guayaquil, it it very important. It lets the CO that will be interviewing you know more about you, because the CO's in Guayaquil automatically think that everybody is trying to commit fraud and unless you can prove that you are indeed a legitimate ... read complete review

ok, I must confess this is a really stressing process and you need patient all the time, I arrive at 8h00 am since my interview was at 8h30, it was full, so we were in different places, I just got called by 11, and I gave all my papers and they were checked, I think this is really important DONT SAY I THINK.. OR HMMM, OR GIVE A WRONG INFORMATION bc you were too nervous and couldnt remember, I saw 2 girls doing that and one needed his fiance to come with her and the other was denied, by the way my fiance was not with me, coming back to the first place I was called, they asked me about his family, my family, specific dates when he entered to Ecuador and how many times, how we met, while they were checking my pics, I brought 50 pics of us together, and with my family, having fun in the beach, well in all the places we took pics, they also asked me how often we talk and how do we communicate and if i was working or not, AGAIN JUST TELL THE TRUTH, i told them we talk everyday and text throu... read complete review

I have been wanting to put this out there for some time so I might as well do it now.
In general our experience was like anyone else's. A lot of waiting for the NOA2 and then the scheduling of the interview. Everything is nerve wracking and you are always afraid someone is going to tell you sorry and hand back months of hard work. Looking back it's one of those things that you just have to wait on and plug through it and it should all work out, but don't expect it to be a cake walk.
We had the same experience the morning of our interview - the self-important guard who thought he owned the place and the funny guy who gives you the run down of how it works. Then you wait. When we finally got called, we were asked a few questions related to when we met and things about the wedding. My thoughts at the time were that it is all up to the one person interviewing you. They asked my fiance like 2 questions in Spanish and then the woman started to ask me things in... read complete review
