Consulate Review: Guayaquil, Ecuador
Review Topic: K1 Visa
|
| Event |
Description |
| Review Date : |
December 30, 2009 |
| Embassy Review : |
We arrived in the Consulate at 7,30. We had our appointment at 8,30. So we decided it would be a good idea to get there an hour earlier. We ate a sandwich and had a juice before getting on the line. The line was not so long and there were Consulate employees explaining processes and generally being of help to whatever questions people in the line asked.
They opened the doors at 8,15 aproximately and started letting people in. I went with my husband (the American Citizen) and once we were about to get in, we saw they were not letting the American Citizens inside the Consulate. At this point we have heard so many awful reviews and were so scared that we quickly made a decision based on what we felt, more than what we have been told. My husband stepped aside as he was told to, no questions asked, and I went inside. Once I was inside, I must say I was a little bit scared of the results of not being at the interview with my then fiancee, but just said to myself that things are always the way they are supposed to be, so I looked up and my Freddy was there. They had let him in, with no problem.
I took us about four hours for the total interview process. During that time, two employess of the Consulate (one of them the Consular Officer himself) took the time to explain about the whole process and gave us instructions on each step.
I was interview by this man himself and am very glad about the whole way they treated me and how quick and easy the whole process was.
Our advise to anyone going through this Consulate, as everything in life: LISTEN CAREFULLY TO THE INSTRUCTIONS YOU ARE BEEN GIVEN, FOLLOW THEM, TAKE ALL YOUR PAPERWORK READY, TELL ALWAYS THE TRUTH, and everything is going to be just fine and dandy!!!!

*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.
