Hey guys my fiance is from Ecuador, South America, my question is how hard is the interview? how big is the chance of denial? what do they look for? or any tips in how to go in there? My fiance is very shy si i think that is going to be a problem... HELP...

I'm not sure about Ecuador (I'm in Brazil) but I'm terribly shy myself and the CO didn't seem to care about that. My interview went fine.

Just tell her to be absolutely 100% honest no matter what. Tell her not to lie or hide anything and not to say whatever she thinks the consul wants to hear. Just tell the truth, even if the answer is not ideal, and be polite and she'll be OK.

The interviews are pretty different for everyone but there are some common questions, such as how/where you met, how long you've been together and so on. Sometimes they will ask questions that are a little unusual, too, but it's nothing to worry about. For example, in my case, my fiance is disabled so the consul asked a lot of questions about that, such as why he's disabled, if there is a cure for his problem, if I'm willing to take care of him and so on. I was worried about his disability being a problem, but I just answered every question he asked very honestly and got my visa without any problems. My interview only lasted about 10 minutes.

Just tell her to stay calm (it's hard, but tell her to try) and be honest. A lot of people get their visas denied because they lied or omitted information. So just tell her, whatever the answer is, just tell the truth.

Good luck!

You're lucky that you wrote, si man.

Read this thread from beginning to end:

In short, visit her MULTIPLE times, collect and produce all kinds of "evidence of bona fide relationship," front-load your I-129F petition with it if you haven't yet filed (if you get an RFE, you can include more along with your specific response to the RFE), and you'd sure better be there in person for her interview, si man.

It's not clear that Guayaquil is the 100% hellhole that it was, but it's no walk in the park, no man.

Hey budd just read it now, thanks for the help... Now i dont see why they would denied it, the only thing i could think of it's the money issue since i have a co sponsor that makes about 55000 a year and has a family of four including my self and him, My fiance will be the 5th. I also make about 17000 a year, but that would change pretty soon. Checking the 125 percent poverty rate for 2011 we are okay, but other than that i dont know if i should be worried. I am definitely going to be present at the interview. Im just so nervous... thanks for responding.
