Hello all, We had our interview on 10-26-09 in the consulate in Guayaquil. We arrived the day before and stayed in a hotel across the street. The night before we decided to go out for dinner so we grabbed a taxi and started looking. The city of Guayaquil is dirty and a scary. Crime is so bad right now that the military has started helping the local police with road blocks.We were stopped twice and I was taken out of the taxi and searched with my hand against the car. The next morning our interview was at 8:30am so we showed up at 8:00am. There was a line of about 50 people. I guess everyone had the same interview time. We were searched and told to go upstairs and wait. We had a guy from the consulate come and explain to all of us about the process. There was about 35 people in the upstairs room. Then about a hour later the guy that does the interview came upstairs and explained the process to us again. He also told us that he does the interview and his partner does them also but she is a american and her spanish is not very good so speak slow and ask questions. After sitting in the room for about 2 hours my finacees name was called to go downstairs. We went downstairs and was told to sit in this new room until our name was called and we would give them all of our paperwork. We waited another hour and was finally called. We went to the window and she started asking for papers. She never asked for the evidence or the police report. We were told to wait until we were called for our interview. The room we were in was about 15ft-25ft and there were curtins to the left and that is were the interviews were taken place so we could hear all interviews. After waiting about another hour with no water or food we were called for our interview. We were lucky because the american women was our interviewer. She asked a few questions and I told her how we met and then she asked my finacee how many times she had visited me in the states and she asked me if this was my first trip to Ecuador and yes it was. She asked my fincee if she had a ring yet and she held up her hand and showed her. She also asked her if she had bought a dress yet and if she knew the name of the church. She did not know but
