Review Topic: IR-1/CR-1 Visa

Complaining and stating the obvious wont help or change the fact that the government is inefficient. They arent good at what they do and they are always changing the rules and the prices. So bring $100 extra before you do the process and email them to cover your but before you go so that you can have proof that they are full of it. What really bugs me is that the embassy/consulate just changed the rules and didnt inform us or update it on their website in a timely maner so we showed up to our interview and got blindsided and to fix the whole thing its going to be another 3 months. MAKE SURE THAT YOU BRING A BIRTH CERTIFICATE ISSUED in the LAST 3 MONTHS this shouldnt be an issue because the NVC doesnt require it and because it doesnt prove a national security issue. a birth certificate is a birth certificate.

Review Topic: IR-1/CR-1 Visa

Let me separate our experience with USCIS and NVC from the embassy and make a quick comment on the former two. First of all, it would make sense if there were just one organization doing this. Secondly and perhaps more importantly, there really is no excuse for the whole process not being digital in this year, the year 2011. I know they have pilot programs going n oand it's great that the electronic payment option is currently available, but this is one of the last purely paper-based bureaucracies and having to submit duplicate documents should be unnecessary.

Regarding the embassy. I'm going to give them some slack and my "3" rating will frighteningly bring up their average. A friend of mine who works in another embassy told me that the consular unit is rather small in El Salvador; and it undoubtedly must be overwhelmed with applications since a quarter of the country already lives in the US. That said, I think those excuses only go so far. Part of the measure of your c... read complete review

Review Topic: K1 Visa

This Embassy is HORRIBLE.

A) To start, they sent us the WRONG version of Packet 3.

B) After the Embassy told us to schedule our interview, we contacted the Visa Customer Service phone number 10 times to schedule the interview but were constantly told that we were not authorized. After $80 of phone calls and waiting an ENTIRE MONTH, we finally received an interview date. A few days later, the embassy e-mailed us with an entirely different interview date! Absolutely horrible.

C) I scheduled a flight to El Salvador to be present at the interview, but the Embassy refused to let me enter for my fiancé's interview. They made me wait outside the Embassy for 4 hours while my fiancé waited in line inside the embassy. When my fiancé's interview started, the consulate told him to go get me so he could conduct a dual interview. The consular officer grilled me for 15 minutes about my fiancé, his family, his work, how many scars are on his body.... read complete review
