Hello,

Does anybody have any experience with the American Embassy in San Salvador. Any suggestions on being prepared and how to make the process smoother and more efficient? Our Fiance package should be at the NVC soon and I will be in El Salvador on the 16th. What paperwork can I bring with me?

Go to El Salvador website for the U.S. Embassy it is pretty good and read what is included in packet 3 and 4 that has to be submitted to the Embassy. I had to download some forms from there to use for my fiancée which she is from Colombia going through the U.S. Embassy in Colombian.

Good luck,
