Our appointment was at 1:00pm on Thursday. I accompanied my fiancée to the interview since I am currently working in Panama. We arrived at the embassy fifteen minutes early, but they wouldn’t let us in right away. They were only letting in one person/group at a time, so we had to wait in the heat, and we were drenched in sweat by the time we got in. There were about 7 or 8 other individuals or pairs of people, there for all types of visas. It appears Thursday is specifically for interviews. So we waited about a half hour until we got called next to last. We were sent to a window to pay the visa fee, and then waited to be called for the interview.
We then got called up to a second window, and this is where we had the interview. The lady was very kind, and the experience was nothing short of pleasant. She started off by giving us back the photos we had sent. And then she asked my fiancée a few questions, like how we met, when we got engaged, whether we currently live ... read complete review

They have a strict schedule on when you can go to pick up and drop off documents. Only two days a week.
You don't need to translate any documents that you submit to them (police records, birth certificate, etc)
After a few trips to the consulate, my interview finally came.
I was an hour early, and security didn't let me in until later. So I had to wait for 45 mins.
My appointment was at 1pm after all the B1/B2 interviews. The waiting room was completely empty. They assisted me right away and had to pay the fee and while I was paying they called me to be interviewed.
The interview was very brief, simple questions (how we met, when our relationship was formalized, his parents names, where he lived). They did not ask for any proof of relationship, no photos, no chat logs, nothing! That by the way they returned to me all the proof of relationship that we sent with the I-129F application.
It lasted about 10 minutes and it took less than 24 hours ... read complete review

Suerte a Todos...

After 6 months we were finally approved.
We applied in may 2012 and by August we had an answer from the US embassy in panama asking us to go pick up package #3. (When we first applied we had all the documents in order and very organized; We did not hire a lawyer, we did it all by ourselves but making sure we were sending EVERYTHING they ask for) we did not have to send anymore documents after that first time.
Eric, my fiance came down to panama to be with me through this process (July) so he was able to come with me every time I had to go to the embassy to drop off and pick up documents.
I did paperwork for about 2 months (only because I was born in Argentina and needed my birth certificate from there so it was a pain having to get my brother which is in Argentina to do this paperwork for me. it took about 1 month to have the original copy in my hands)
after I drop of this doc and some others (police certificate, 6 pictures) at the embassy, they gav... read complete review

My fiancee said she got lucky to have a female interviewer assigned to her, because she saw another man who looked intimidating. The interviewer was very polite and understanding, and said she would try to get it processed as soon as possible
