my fiancee interview was for 8:30 on a Thursday and she arrived at 8 the process went pretty much fast. from the time she entered the embassy she was out by 10:30. However, the co was really giving her a hard time about me not being there and for some strange reason the co wanted to see me.
I went on the following Monday I was asked 3 questions and the visa was granted. I think the co simply wanted to waste my time because I was only asked where I stay when I'm in Guatemala, how many times have I visted, and how long has my fiancee lived in the current city she's in.
also, anyone going through the process in this embassy after your packet leaves the nvc call them to find out your interview date because they set it really fast and they don't inform you. If I didn't call in about the medical info. we would have missed the interview because I receive the packet in the mail on nov. 30 and the interview was dec 8.
over all the Guatemalan embas... read complete review

Eduardo arrived at the Embassy at 6:30am. Needless to say, he was the first in line. They opened the doors at 8 and were let in and given a number. He said after about an hour, they called him up and took his papers to enter into the computer. After about 2 more hours (and a short nap he said), they called him back up to do his digital fingerprints. And about an hour after that, they called him up for his interview. He said the woman interviewing him was very, very friendly. She asked to see our financial forms and a few other things and she said everything looked in order. She asked him how we met and when he told her that I was a Peace Corps Volunteer, she told him to tell me "thank you" for my service, which was really nice. He showed her the pictures I have sent him of my family and he told her all about them, our wedding, and where I live. After about 15 minutes, she asked him how I was doing and he told her that I was nervous and she said "well, you can call your fiance and tell ... read complete review

My husband and I (US Citizen) arrived at 7:30am for his 8am appointment and ended up getting #18. We had our interview at 12:30pm. Beside the long wait, everything was clear and ran smoothly. The interview itself was less than 5 minutes. We were asked how we met, where and when we got married, if my husband had lived in the US before, if he had visited the U.S. and how long he had been on his longest trip. My husband was asked what I did and I was asked why I moved to Guatemala. The consular official looked over our paperwork, canceled my husband's tourist visa, and told us to come back at 3:30pm to pick up the visa.
As other people have mentioned, there is absolutely no privacy during the interview.
We filed through direct consular filing and the whole process took 3.5 months.

Our appointment was for 9:00 we got there a 7:30 because that's what the website said which worked out well cause we got an earlier number and got to wait inside and not out in the cold. They gave out the numbers and let everyone in around 8:00. Like everyone said you can't take cell phones, computers, cameras, USB drives or anything like that. There are people outside that will hold that stuff for you for about Q10.00. You can take in keys and food even though some of the people outside tell you different.
They start calling numbers around 8:30. Immigrant visas have a different number then NonImmigrant visas. Non-Immigrants get called in bunches quickly to get finger printed and put in another room. Immigrant visas are called one by one out of 3 windows. There they get your medical exam, appointment letter and ask some questions. They also asked for the policiacos and penales so even if you turned them in to the NVC. Then you sit down again until you're called to be fi... read complete review

Good Day fellow VJ members! Byron's experience was very good. The interview questions were focused on my (USC) finances and income as well as my divorce. They asked him questions about the physical address of my home and also information about my two daughters. A little bit of history about how we met. They also asked questions about his past VISAs and how they had been used -- everything was very much in order so all was okay! Byron offered to show pictures and she said, "No Thank you. Please just be sure to be married within 90days. Congratulations!"
