The consulate has been extremely helpful with my case.
let me explain...
Im an Israeli citizen and for reasons I am too lay to explain I set up my interview in GYQ instead of Jerusalem .
Problem with israeli cases is the police certificate is never given to citizens but sent to the consulate directly
my police certificate was not sent here to Ecuador because the police only delivers within Israel..
The US consulate in Guayaquil were always quick to respond to my emails and phone calls until they finally got a hold of my police certificate by requesting it from the consulate in Jerusalem..
my case got delayed almost 3 weeks after interview because of that hiccup with that paper but if this consulate was as slow as the Jerusalem one i had to deal with i would still be waiting for my visa to be issued .
The interview experience was good. I was stressed because I had no idea what to expect ,but they ba... read complete review

So overall this was a really great experience.
We arrived in the morning at around 6:50 and waited in the wrong line for at least 40 minutes. People kept calling out about how we werent allowed to have cellphones and, wouldn't you know it, my fiance had brought her phone! So we dropped it off with one of the people who stands around outside and charges $3.00 to hold anything that fits into a small black plastic bag. She kept our things safe for over 3 hours! Our appointment was for 7:40 and we got into the correct line at around 7:30. We were the only ones left there because they had already taken care of all of the other Immigrant Visas before we figured out we were in the wrong line.
My fiance and I then waited an additional 20-30 minutes for our line of 1 to be processed. When we got inside they had us take everything out of our pockets and put it into a plastic bin which was x-rayed and then we went through a metal detector. Once we walked down a hallw... read complete review

Hi, I just want to share our interview experience. (We are a same sex couple).
Interview date : September 21, 2016 at 7:40am
As the petitioner I decided to go to Ecuador to be at the interview with my fiance. I think that was the best decision I have ever made. the interview was so hard that I was losing my hope.
We got there around 7:00am (we wait until 8 am outside).
I guy came out and ask the beneficiaries name and then he asked (who are yo) I said the petitioner "we are a couple" then he said ok "go to security with this ticket.
The security lady did not say "Hi or Good morning" she goes like "do you have a cell phone) we said YES she said take them back home and come back. I was like WTF we are going to miss our interview if we do that. (before they used to put the cellphone in a lil box and when you finish the interview they return the phone to you). I called friends to see if they were close by. After a... read complete review

My husband was scheduled at 9:40 AM. He went in line at 9:00, did a little checkpoint and security. Make sure not to bring cell phones! It would make things a lot easier.
He was called to the first window and asked for police certificate, medical examinations, a few photos and questions as follow:
How did we meet?
When did we get marry?
Then he waited about 3 hours to be called to a second window, officer did not ask for evidence or supporting papers since I ensured NVC received all paperwork with signature required, official documents such as marriage certificate, police records, etc; taxes, IRS transcripts, paychecks, translations. Our case went very smooth and had not RFE. By the way, he had originals and copies mentioned in the interview package.

I have extremely mixed reviews about our interaction with the consulate in Guayaquil overall- some very positive experiences but also some very negative ones, which makes this review difficult. Overall, to all that will be working with this embassy in the future I will say this: be prepared for the possibility that they will make mistakes that will make your life much more difficult, and make any decisions with this possibility in mind.
We arrived for our interview 7.40 appointment time only about 10 minutes early thanks to traffic and a cab driver whose shortcut ended up taking more time overall, but this was perfectly fine- they line people up for residency visa interview appointments by appointment time and then let them in in that order, so there is really no reason to be arriving an hour, an hour and a half early. Just arrive about 20 minutes before the appointment and you should be fine. Because I am citizen I was able to guard the backpack that we brought to hold ... read complete review
