I just joined VJ because this site is the most updated and informed site I have found... I've learned so much here, thank you!

I want to file my I-129F and I have everything ready but I am concerned about using my fiance's address in Ecuador because he lives in a rural location and cannot receive mail there...(meaning he never has received mail there) and I know they are going to send him Packet 4 after we've been approved so I'm not sure what to do.

He has offered his Father's address (my fiance has never lived with his father) but would I put it on the form or on a separate piece of paper...? would they read it and send him stuff there? I don't want it to be too complicated for them down there in the consulate...

Or I could just leave it be, not worry about it, and download the packet when the time comes.

When I send him mail I send it to the local post office with his name on it and he picks it up there but I can't put that on the forms... so what should I do?

You can use his father's address or the local post office address (why you can't put this address?) anyway, not leave it in blank

We can all make a difference. Please recycle

Welcome to VJ! On the form, you can put his father's address, if it's reachable for mail delivery and will be permanent for months to come; or, your fiance's name, c/o [name of local post office], city, province, Ecuador. In reality, the consulate will mail Packet 4 late, and possibly not include the most current version. Your idea of downloading the packet from the website is good.

Other: I hope that you've thoroughly read all of the "Embassy Info" & "Embassy Reviews" regarding the Guayaquil consulate, which is neither easy nor pleasant. Please pay particular attention to the WORST reports. You haven't created a VJ Timeline yet, so I don't know where you are in the process, but if you haven't filed the I-129F petition yet, be sure to front-load it with everything but the kitchen sink. Please also read the entire thread "US Consulate in Guayaquil, Ecuador" in the Embassy/Consulate forum. If you have any questions, several of us former victims will be happy to guide you.

06-04-2007 = TSC stamps postal return-receipt for I-129f.

06-11-2007 = NOA1 date (unknown to me).

07-20-2007 = Phoned Immigration Officer; got WAC#; where's NOA1?

09-25-2007 = Touch (first-ever).

09-28-2007 = NOA1, 23 days after their 45-day promise to send it (grrrr).

10-20 & 11-14-2007 = Phoned ImmOffs; "still pending."

12-11-2007 = 180 days; file is "between workstations, may be early Jan."; touches 12/11 & 12/12.

12-18-2007 = Call; file is with Division 9 ofcr. (bckgrnd check); e-prompt to shake it; touch.

12-19-2007 = NOA2 by e-mail & web, dated 12-18-07 (187 days; 201 per VJ); in mail 12/24/07.

01-23-2008 = Consulate gets file; outdated Packet 4 mailed to fiancee 1/27/08; rec'd 3/3/08.

04-29-2008 = Fiancee's 4-min. consular interview, 8:30 a.m.; much evidence brought but not allowed to be presented (consul: "More proof! Second interview! Bring your fiance!").

05-05-2008 = Infuriating $12 call to non-English-speaking consulate appointment-setter.

05-06-2008 = Better $12 call to English-speaker; "joint" interview date 6/30/08 (my selection).

06-30-2008 = Stokes Interrogations w/Ecuadorian (not USC); "wait 2 weeks; we'll mail her."

07-2008 = Daily calls to DOS: "currently processing"; 8/05 = Phoned consulate, got Section Chief; wrote him.

08-07-08 = E-mail from consulate, promising to issue visa "as soon as we get her passport" (on 8/12, per DHL).

I have read the reviews for the consulate and several posts about the interview process there but I can't find (or don't know how to find) the thread "US consulate in Guayaquil, Ecuador".... I realize the process can be infuriating and I can't say I'm looking forward to it but I am going to try and stay positive and take it as it comes. I will submit as much evidence as possible with my I-129F but I didn't save the numerous receipts and tickets we had because I didn't know that I would be needing them in the future... :-( I do have many date-stamped photos, passport stamps, and airline itineraries as proof of meeting and hundreds of emails as well. I use a phone card to call him so my phone bill won't really help... I can give a skype printout but I didn't discover skype until last fall when I was in Ecuador so most of my calls are home to my fam rather than to him in Ecuador. I'm going to try to accrue as much evidence of our continued relationship during the time it takes to get approved (NOA2) but I am worried I don't have enough evidence...

Thank you so much for your help, I appreciate it a whole lot.

(also, quick question, do I need to budget for the fingerprinting too or is that included in the $350 interview fee?)
