We came in taxi and arrived at 6:30 am with all our papers. We were staying at a very cheap hotel that we recommend, Hotel Chile which is on Portete and Chile right on the Plaza España ($7 a night, with a fan). We had to come a day early because you can ONLY pay the $131 at Banco Guayaquil IN Guayaquil itself, not in Quito or anywhere else, so definately plan to come a day early, and a day that the banks are open! We waited in the non-immigrant line, which was fine, but we later realized we could have waited in the resident visa line which was called in first and went faster. They made my fiancée (Ecuadorian) leave his fanny pack behind because it was too much like a “bag”. Note, they don´t let any type of bags or purses or backpacks in! I carried my passport in a very small passport pouch. Other than that we just carried our papers in our hands. We entered without any problems, no one questioned me entering (even though they announce many times that ONLY visa applicants can en... read complete review

WE ARRIVED AT 7am FOR AN 8:30 APPT, THERE WERE TWO LINES-NON IMMIGRANT AND IMMIGRANT, WE WERE NOT SURE WHICH ONE TO STAND IN, SO WE CHOSE THE NON-IMMIG BECAUSE THAT IS THE SECTION THAT THE K VISA IS LISTED IN ON THE US EMB GUAY WEBSITE--HOWEVER WHEN WE ASKED THE EMBASSY WORKER, HE TOLD US TO MOVE TO THE IMMIGRANT LINE AND HE LET US MOVE TO THE FRONT OF THE LINE!!HE WAS VERY NICE. ANOTHER WORKER TOLD US THAT WE HAD TO LEAVE THE BAG HOLDING ALL OUR PROOF OUTSIDE OF THE EMBASSY(WE HAD A LOT OF PROOF)-SHE WAS NICE AS WELL IN TELLING US THIS--SHE EVEN APOLOGIZED TO US----THEN WE WENT IN AND WENT STRAIGHT TO WINDOW 5 AND WAITED ABOUT 2 MINUTES AND THE EMBASSY WORKER ASKED US TO TELL OUR NAME SO HE COULD EXPEDITE OUR CASE. THEN WE WAITED 30 MINUTES AND A WOMAN AT WINDOW 5 CALLED US AND ASKED FOR OUR PROOF--ONLY 08 TAXES , PICTURES AND THE MEDICAL RESULTS AND IT WAS AT THIS TIME THAT THE WOMAN ASKED HOW LONG WE HAVE BEEN TOGETHER(WE DID NOT EVEN REALIZE THAT THIS WOULD BE OUR ONLY QUESTION!!!... read complete review

I did not attend the K-1 interview and as a result, our case has been put into administrative processing. My fiance had a couple minute interview before they told her that her petitioner should be there and then they gave her the letter asking for more evidence. I have sent in everything I have: 3 years of tax information (all original W-2's, everything). Sent in 2 round of evidence after the interview and the first round was responded to by sending my fiance the exact same letter she received after the interview. After the second round of evidence, the case was put into administrative processing and has been there since February. I visited the consulate in January to make sure they had our file and everything was in there. Not sure when it will get out of administrative processing. I contacted a lawyer for a consultation and that was a big waste of time and money because he didn't know anything more than I did and basically said he couldn't help. I have written congressman and... read complete review

We had our interview on Wednesday January 28. We called earlier in the month to set up an appointment but was told to call back because we had not completed our doctors appointment. With this done we called and was given a appointment for the interview two weeks from the call. We arrived at at 8am. It is very busy and many people are standing around as you walk in. My fiancee had her purse which caused some problems so I would not recommend taking anything but the files needed. We walked to a locked door were another guard let us in. We gave him cell phones and he gave us a ticket to retrieve them back. As we walked in we are directed to the second floor because the first was already full of people. There is a intercom system which is very hard to hear.. They called us at 10:30 am. I went with my fiancee every time she was called. We walked up to window and started giving her all the papers requested. Forms, sponsors, and proof. She commented on the amount of pictures which was 4 packe... read complete review
