I (the US Citizen) was able to enter with my fiance which was nice because there was a fairly long line. We entered on a busy Friday afternoon. They opened up more windows as we were waiting so the line moved a bit faster. We had our passports and sealed envelope ready and when it was our turn it was quick and easy. He stamped the documents and passports, took our photos with the webcam, and asked if we were bringing in any money or objects from the foreign country. Explained the visa to us and what date we need to be married by. The man was very friendly and we were on our way! |

**Since he had to travel we planned for a 2 day interview due to experiences from previous Ecuador VJ members.***
First of all, I arrived early at 7am 1 hour before my 8am appointment and there was already a line. There were a lot of people for tourist visas and other types of visas, so I lined up. There was security present outside. When I entered they made me remove everything they checked to make sure I didn't bring in anything other than the requested documents.
Once I entered they asked me if I applied for a tourist visa or for residence visa? I said for residence visa fiance K1 and they took me to a place with a woman at a window asking for each document. I gave her my passport, birth registration and divorce registration. She asked who is petitioning for you? They didn't ask me for financial support, or for other evidence of relationship. They told me to sit in the waiting room because they’re going to call you for the interview later.
I took an oath and gave my fingerprints and had the interview on the spot with an American man. It was more like a conversation.
When did you meet?
When did you get engaged?
Tell me about your relationship.
Who does your fiance live with and where?
Is the language barrier difficult?
How much does your fiance earn?
He said "Well, congratulations Welcome to the United States!" They gave me a blue approval paper and a pamphlet on domestic violence and said in 10 days you will be able to pick up your passport. I said thank you very much! I was ready to cry. They returned all the documents to me. I was outside the consulate at 10:30am and did not have to return the next day. |

Timeline Comments: 5Hello,
Please could you tell me how you received your invoice id number? My welcome letter does not have one
Hello Fabric, I did not receive an invoice ID number, I am hearing we don't need it for a K1
hello,
thanks for updating your profile,
did they schedule your interview date or you selected it yourself?
Of course! I scheduled it for the first available date, there was only 4 dates to chose from
*Notice about estimates: The estimates are based off averages of other members recent experiences
(documented in their timelines) for the same benefit/petition/application at the same filing location.
Individual results may vary as every case is not always 'average'. Past performance does not necessarily
predict future results. The 'as early as date' may change over time based on current reported processing
times from members. There have historically been cases where a benefit/petition/application processing
briefly slows down or stops and this can not be predicted. Use these dates as reference only and do not
rely on them for planning. As always you should check the
USCIS processing times to see if your application
is past due.
** Not all cases are transfered
