Well, when I first started educating myself about this process, I read every thread I could find that had something to do with getting a visa out of Guayaquil. And boy, was I shocked to see how hard it had been on some folks. Some people's stories really saddened me, as this could be me in a few months.
So I soaked in all the information and decided the best thing was to create a good package for USCIS and by following the K1 guide here on VJ, I, without realizing it, front-loaded our petition. I included like 20 emails showing our relationship and 4 pictures of us. Front-loading is providing evidence of an on-going relationship when filing the petition, it is not really a requirement at this time, but in some consulates, like Guayaquil, it it very important. It lets the CO that will be interviewing you know more about you, because the CO's in Guayaquil automatically think that everybody is trying to commit fraud and unless you can prove that you are indeed a legitimate ... read complete review

OR HMMM, OR GIVE A WRONG INFORMATION bc you were too nervous and couldnt remember, I saw 2 girls doing that and one needed his fiance to come with her and the other was denied, by the way my fiance was not with me, coming back to the first place I was called, they asked me about his family, my family, specific dates when he entered to Ecuador and how many times, how we met, while they were checking my pics, I brought 50 pics of us together, and with my family, having fun in the beach, well in all the places we took pics, they also asked me how often we talk and how do we communicate and if i was working or not, AGAIN JUST TELL THE TRUTH, i told them we talk everyday and text throu... read complete review

I have been wanting to put this out there for some time so I might as well do it now.
In general our experience was like anyone else's. A lot of waiting for the NOA2 and then the scheduling of the interview. Everything is nerve wracking and you are always afraid someone is going to tell you sorry and hand back months of hard work. Looking back it's one of those things that you just have to wait on and plug through it and it should all work out, but don't expect it to be a cake walk.
We had the same experience the morning of our interview - the self-important guard who thought he owned the place and the funny guy who gives you the run down of how it works. Then you wait. When we finally got called, we were asked a few questions related to when we met and things about the wedding. My thoughts at the time were that it is all up to the one person interviewing you. They asked my fiance like 2 questions in Spanish and then the woman started to ask me things in... read complete 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... read complete review

After 7 months of paperwork and waiting it was time for our interview. Visa Journey was a great reference for us, and hopefully this review can help someone else. To be honest after reading the discussion posts and reviews of the Guayaquil Consulate I was pretty nervous about the interview. We compiled A TON of evidence and made sure that I was able to attend with my husband. I am not sure if the consulate has improved or just that we were very prepared but the interview was a smooth process for us.
Our appointment was scheduled for 7:15 and we were there by 6:15, there were two lines already formed one for immigrant visas and the other for non-immigrant visas. We were 4th in line and waited until about 7:00 when someone from the embassy came out. First he took the immigrant visa line (make sure you have your appointment letter and photos out), but when he got to my husband and I he told us that I would not be permitted to enter until 8:00. We tried explaining that I wa... read complete review
