Compare both rows in the live table before booking; there is no penalty for interviewing at the post that isn’t closest to home.","question":"Can I choose between Quito and Guayaquil for my visa interview?"},{"answer":"Immigrant-visa cases for Ecuador are processed in Quito. The choice between posts applies to nonimmigrant categories — visitor, student, work — not to green-card interviews, which the National Visa Center schedules.","question":"Which post handles immigrant visas (family-petition cases) for Ecuador?"},{"answer":"No — ’not available’ means that specific post isn’t offering that visa category right now or hasn’t reported a figure.
