Consulate Review: Guayaquil, Ecuador
Review Topic: K1 Visa
|
| Event |
Description |
| Review Date : |
January 30, 2012 |
| Embassy Review : |
We arrived at 7:30 and were allowed to enter the building at 8:00. We waited in the back room until 10:30 when we were called up to the window to submit our paperwork from Packet 4. She also returned paperwork from our I-129 Packet that was no longer needed. She asked a few questions about our relationship and focused on specific dates. (i.e. how long ago did you meet? Say 2008 instead of 3 years ago). At about 10:45 He was called up to do prints.
At 11:30 we were called up for the real interview. My fiance was again asked questions about our relationship, relatives living in the States, his time in the States, but what flustered him the most is why we applied for the K1 visa instead of CR-1. I (USC) had been living in GYE for 4 years, but never meet the 6 month requirement, so be prepared to answer this question if you\'ve spent significant time in Ecuador.
She asked many questions about our wedding. In all honesty we haven't planned much because the NOA2 took way too long. I didn't want to plan anything until I knew the date he would be with me. She called me up to talk about the wedding, I explained it would be very small court or church wedding that would be easy to plan once he arrived, we would also avoid the nasty winter weather and have something bigger during the summer months. She had me describe my dress and saw the receipt. If you don\'t have a specific date, then say any date. It seems that they don\'t want you to plan ahead and purchase airline tickets, but somehow you\'re supposed to plan a wedding before you know that your fiance will even have the visa!!
Then she pulled the blue slip to tell us we were approved! It was super daunting to look behind her desk and see two giant piles of \'today\'s rejections\' and see a literally empty \'today\'s issuances.\' We were lucky!

*Notice about estimates: The estimates are based off averages of other members recent experiences
(documented in their timelines) for the same benefit/petition/application at the same filing location.
Individual results may vary as every case is not always 'average'. Past performance does not necessarily
predict future results. The 'as early as date' may change over time based on current reported processing
times from members. There have historically been cases where a benefit/petition/application processing
briefly slows down or stops and this can not be predicted. Use these dates as reference only and do not
rely on them for planning. As always you should check the
USCIS processing times to see if your application
is past due.
