My fiance arrived at the embassy about twenty minutes before her interview, and they asked her if she had a copy of her passport, which she didnt, because it wasnt on the instructions left us, so she went and made them quickly, and they let her right in without even waiting in the long line for the tourist visas. she got in and they took her paperwork and then she sat down for a little while. they then took her digital fingerprints, and then she sat down for a while longer. she then was called up to the window with an american and he asked her if she spoke english, which she does, and he then proceeded to ask her all sorts of questions regarding me, my family, my divorce, my job, her family, wedding date plans, engagement, etc...altogether there were quite a few questions asked. she said she was pretty nervous but answered everything, and then when they were done the man said to her congratulations your visa has been approved. she left and we are now just waiting for her visa in the ma... read complete review

My husband's CR1 visa interview was Monday, October 15th. We stayed in the Barcelo hotel, not too far away. He had been in Guatemala for a year and half at this point and we were hoping for good news, but we had been told he had a deportation order by members of his family so we were thinking we might have to have I212 waiver. Our lawyer had filed a FOIA (Freedom of Information Act) to see if he actually had the deportation order and according to it there was nothing under his name, but they didn't search all of the databases that the Embassy has. So we went in expecting the worst, that they would find a deportation order.
Our interview was at 8 am. I had been told I was not allowed to go to the interview with my husband unless they had specifically asked me to come. The people at the embassy will always tell you that when you call. It is NOT true. An officer who works at the American Embassy in Guatemala was at the Barcelo when we were and we met him the night before th... read complete review

My interview time was 9 am, so I arrived at 8:30 am. I didn't know they give out numbers for people interviewing for immigrant visas, thus I was left with the last number. My advise is to arrive at 8 am the latest if your interview is at 9 am.
After I got the number I went through security, then I was called to turn in my medical records, and then to get fingerprinted.
After that I had to wait for 2.5 hours for my interview.
The interview lasted 5 minutes. I was asked where I met my husband, when we started dating, how long I had lived in the U.S. and to explain my husbands' job.
The interviewer was friendly. She told me everything looked in order and that she was going to issue my visa.
I was given a piece of paper with instructions.
I have to say that the new system they have for passport pick up is very confusing.
Overall a very good experience.

Well here it goes! We made it to the Embassy bright and early, about 6:30am. We received the number 4 a little after 8am. Once inside we had to wait for our number to be called. As soon as that happened the lady taking in our documents organizes our documents and enters data on the computer. She took in the payment receipt for the visa fee ($240), followed by the beneficiary´s birth certificate, police reports, passport, D156, D157 and the Supplement form. I believe that´s all. She didn´t bother to look at the ongoing relationship evidence nor the Affidavit of Support (tax transcripts, employment letter, stubs), I asked her and she said to wait for the Consul to interview my fiance. It took about 30 minutes for the Consul to call my fiance. He asked him how we met, when we met, what I did for a living, where was he going to live at and if my parents were okay with the arrangement, also when we were going to get married. He then took a quick view at our letters we sent each ot... read complete review

Long lines, be ready to get there early to make your appointment. Relatively easy once inside the building, they will call you. I was asked a couple of questions, they asked me about people in my photos, etc. Not bad, definitely not worth freaking out about, just get there on time, wait and answer what you are asked.
