| Guayaquil, Ecuador |  Review on December 4, 2008: |
Rating:  | Review Topic: K1 Visa
My fiance had his K-1 Visa interview in Guayaquil, Ecuador, in early September 2008. I was quite surprised by the relative ease of the interview and follow-up. The people attending us were friendly, cordial and professional, making both my fiance and I feel much more comfortable than expected. Two of the interviewers were really personable, asking us questions in a casual and friendly manner as opposed to interrogating us. I entered the interview feeling like we would immediately be put on the defensive but they had carefully reviewed the evidence of our relationship and were familiar with our case. From the point of entry to the point at which they told us we had been approved, it took three and a half hours. We were called to four windows in total; the first three windows were for interviews. My fiance was asked to read in English (cards that I had written him in English) and he was also asked to translate directly from my letters. Though he understands English, this was particularly stressful for him. They reviewed all of our documents thoroughly, especially the pictures and letters of supports we had sent in. They were very descriptive with my fiance after he was told that his Visa had been approved - his instructions were clear and easy to follow for both of us. Although lengthy, it was a positive interview and we walked away feeling good about it.
