Thee time of my interview was at 9:30 am I arrived at the consulate at 9:00 and I was immediately placed in line, the guards that reviewing the documents are rude many people had to do the document review twice because they don’t let you enter with absolutely nothing other than the required documentation. Pay attention and not bring the medical exam cds because we can’t enter with that. Anyway, there are people who keep things in lockers. I had two interviews the first one I give the documents, the oficial consular asked me for pictures with my husband and a lot of care here because it isn’t only to take fingerprints and deliver the documents, she also asked me some questions: how old is my husband, how we met, when was the last time he was in Ecuador, then the consular officer told me to take a seat and wait for the second interview. Once they called me I was lucky that I had a very friendly consular officer smiling and everything was very fast simple questions l... read complete review

We had the appointment at 10:30am. They recommend you arrive 15min early. We arrived around 10:10am and approached the security checkpoint around as we noticed others going in. There weren't many people wanting to go in. It was probably because of the time of the interview. I decided to attend the interview with my fiance against the advice in previous reviews saying they would not let you in. This is true because as we approached the security check point, I was told that only my fiance was allowed to enter. I explained that I was the petitioner and wanted to accompany her. They still said no. Still I'm glad I went as I will later explain. At this point she gave me her purse as they would not let her in with it. I stayed outside waiting.
At around 12pm one of the assistants who makes sure all the paperwork is in line with what is needed came out calling my name. She then informed me that I was being called in as they wanted to interview me as well. At this time she also told me ... read complete review

My wife and I arrived just on time. We left the Guayaquil airport and took a taxi at about 8:30 am and it took the taxi driver about one hour to take us to the consulate (“atajoâ€).
Once at the consulate, my wife (the petitioner) was not allowed to get in. The guards told us that this is a new policy that was implemented a few weeks ago. I had read in a few reviews people recommending that the petitioner attends the interview. Don´t waste your money. They will not let the petitioner in. We argued for a little while with the guards about my wife´s right to be inside (as an American citizen) but they just ignored what we said.
Once inside (after passing the security check) I waited for about an hour to be allowed to get into the building. Once inside the building, I realized there were too many people applying for resident visas. About 100 waiting.
After about two more hours my name was called to a window. An Ecuadorian woman (dark hair, probably i... read complete review

My husband and I arrived early to the interview and were allowed in. There was not a line to go through both security checkpoints, at that time. When we entered we were told to sit in the waiting area and listen for my husband's name to be called. We were called about an hour after arriving to a window where a lady took our paperwork, proof of marriage, and fingerprints. She asked a few questions and she was kind of rude. and impatient Then we were told to sit again and listen for my husband's name for his interview. His name was called about 30 mins after. The interview was held at another window. The guy that was interviewing us was nice, calm, and joked around. He asked us how we met and even gave him the advice to get his citizenship before moving abroad. That interview only lasted for about 5 mins. He told us we were approved at the end of the interview. His passport was ready to be picked up at the DHL office about a week later. You cannot bring cell phones or electr... read complete review

My husband and I traveled to Guayaquil for our interview. Once we got to the consulate I was not allowed to enter for there were to many people and I had to wait outside. This bothered me a bit, I believe the interview is for both of us, but there was nothing I could do. Once he entered a heap load of people had the same interview time and date, which made him take a VERY long time. At first they asked him for some additional information on our sponsor (which I don't understand why they didn't ask for before the interview) and sent him to the vice-consular to receive an official letter stating that we required that information. Once he got to the vice-consular, the man was VERY rude to him, he treated him like a criminal for no reason, he even made stuff up without proof. He told my husband that "he probably didn't even know the sponsor" (the sponsor is a friend of mine, and yes, my husband knows him. Besides the fact that there is no obligation for the sponsor to be a family member or... read complete review
