A review of our experience at the US Embassy in Panama:
- Although our appointment was at 1 pm, we arrived at the Embassy at 12:30 but were not let inside until 1 pm.
- There were about 4 other interviewees scheduled.
- After showing our Appointment Letter to security at the entrance, we were let in to the Consular Section and asked to hand in our Appointment Letter to the Immigrant Visa Unit window.
- We were called to the same window a few minutes later and asked to hand in: police certificate, I-864 Affidavit of Support, tax transcripts, and employment verification letter for petitioner. (They already had the I-130, G-325As, DS-230, passport copies for both petitioner and beneficiary, photographs for beneficiary, birth certificates for both petitioner and beneficiary, and marriage certificate from previous packets.)
- Then, we were asked to go to the Cashier window to pay the $404 in fees. It was 1:35 by now.... read complete review

One surprise here was that all of the paperwork (except medical) needed to be complete before an interview date would be given, so instead of just bringing the I-134 to the interview as planned, it had to be FedExed in advance. Once the interview date was scheduled, the medical just had to be done (on a walk-in basis) at least 6 days prior to the interview.
Our interview appointment was at 1:00. We arrived and parked in a small lot outside of the embassy grounds and walked through the security gate. Ingrith (Panameña) was asked for her appointment slip, but they didn't at any point ask for my (USC) ID. All electronic equipment (including a flash drive that I hadn't realized was in my bag) had to be left at the security desk, so don't plan on presenting any evidence in electronic format.
There appeared to be 3 immigrant visa applicants on this day, all with 1:00 appointments, and we were handled second in line. Once inside, we waited for about a half hour before being cal... read complete review
