There is obviously some difference in consular experiences based on the person doing the interview and the particular circumstances of your case. We had a horrendous experience. I advise everyone to be as prepared as possible and take nothing for granted. This consulate will often contradict itself, and make errors that can delay a case.
We arrived around 8:05 for an 8:30 interview, and subsequently waited outside 2nd in line until at least 9:00 until more space was available inside for immigrant visas. Maybe getting there a little earlier would have been a good idea?? We went up to the upstairs room that was quite chilly. They were calling names, but if you didn't understand when they called your name, an employee came and called you. Up to this point everything was okay. My wife got called to the caja or cashier to submit most of the standard forms like the police record, her DS-156, birth certificate, marriage certificate, sealed medical record, and the evide... read complete review

Como siempre en Ecuador mucha gente, ninos llorando, y unos guardias degraciados jajaja, eso es solo en la embajada americana. Nos demoramos un par de horas, La entrevista fue rapida y apesar que mi fiance vino de los USA fue como q ni importo, porq ni le pararon bola. La verdad que ahora pienso q no necesitabamos pasar por este proceso ya que yo tenia mi visa de turista de toda la vida y podiamos venir a casarnos aqui en Estados Unidos. Es mas la senorita de la entrevista me pregunto por q no me fui a casar alla. Le dije asi disque ui veps. Ya pues un regalo 500 dolares para los gringos.

We arrived in the Consulate at 7,30. We had our appointment at 8,30. So we decided it would be a good idea to get there an hour earlier. We ate a sandwich and had a juice before getting on the line. The line was not so long and there were Consulate employees explaining processes and generally being of help to whatever questions people in the line asked.
They opened the doors at 8,15 aproximately and started letting people in. I went with my husband (the American Citizen) and once we were about to get in, we saw they were not letting the American Citizens inside the Consulate. At this point we have heard so many awful reviews and were so scared that we quickly made a decision based on what we felt, more than what we have been told. My husband stepped aside as he was told to, no questions asked, and I went inside. Once I was inside, I must say I was a little bit scared of the results of not being at the interview with my then fiancee, but just said to myself that things are always... read complete review

***review for GUAYAQUIL, NOT QUITO (drop-down list doesn't include Guayaquil)***
Hi Ecuamericans!
I know my review is incredibly long but most of it is in form of a list (a list that looked beautiful in Word but looks crappy here). I did it this way because I remember how much I wished I could have found more lists and details at the time we were preparing for our interview. For a summary of overall impressions, scroll to the bottom.
•Appointment day/time: July 28, 2009, 8:30 AM (we were told to arrive 30 minutes early, so we did)
•Total time spent in Consulate: approx. 4.5 hours
•Items BROUGHT to Consulate per VJ’s advice and/or because I thought “better safe than sorry”:
o Jackets
o Paperwork (all organized into manila envelopes and color-coded with different color paperclips):
Copy of everything included in original I-129F
Copies of case-related letters: NOA1, N... read complete review

Tips:
-make sure you go with your significant other-- it truly made it easier for us. He was much more calm as was I an I believe the service was better.
-Lodging: We stayed at Hotel Sol del Oriente and it was a short cabride or 30 min walk to consulate.. away an within walking distance to Malecon. It had AC , wifi which was sometimes not working the best and it was like 22 dollars a night with breakfast.
- You can be with them every step of the process at this consulate , from my experience, eventhough customer service on the phone told my fiance I couldn't come to the interview.
- our interview was in March 2009 and we arrived there at 8;30. Make sure you don't bring anything besides your paperwork, other items must be checked in with a guard. Make sure you eat before hand.
There were no lines or waiting outside the consulate the day I went , and we went through th... read complete review
