Hello fellow journey members,

Has anyone had a better experience with El Salvador? Our approved application was recieved by the embassy on Aug. 14 and still no packet 3. I checked the embassy website, called the automated system and keep getting referred to Visas USA for 3 dollars a minute and they tell me the average wait time for packet 3 is 2 months and 1 month for packet 4........I was even in El Salvador 10 days ago and could only get in to American Citizen Services.....a very un pleasant experience with a not my job attitude. You do not get in to the visa section unless you have an appointment. Sorry for the venting but it has been 6 months and it is looking like at least, another 4 to 5 more......Is this normal???? Best Wishes, John

John,

If you look under your user name on the right side of the page, you can click on the country for a list of other SSD users.

I recommend getting the documents you know you'll need ready.. when the P3 finally comes you can return it immediately.

Now That You Are A Permanent Resident

How Do I Remove The Conditions On Permanent Residence Based On Marriage?

Welcome to the United States: A Guide For New Immigrants

Yes, even this last one.. stuff in there that not even your USC knows.....

Here are more links that I love:

Arriving in America, The POE Drill

Dual Citizenship FAQ

Other Fora I Post To:

censored link = *family based immigration* website

Inertia. Is that the Greek god of 'can't be bothered'?
