My wife went through the interview process at the embassy in May 2010 and overall she said was a comfortable experience. Their office was quite responsive (1 day response time on two separate occasions) to the following email address for us: Congensansal@state.gov. They responded to our emails and delivered both packet 3 and packet 4 via email.
The only roadbump we had was figuring out how to send the packet 3 materials via cargo expreso, as they mandate. Good luck trying to find their phone number or address using a phone book in El Salvador or anywhere on the Internet. My wife finally found by going to the embassy and there was a small sign there that had directions on how to find cargo expreso (sorry can't be of more help, as she doesn't remember the address).
Interviews went smooth. First one was just handing in the paperwork / medical exams from packet 4. 2nd interview scheduled one week later where they asked more detailed questions about ou... read complete review

My wife went through the K1 process through the Embassy in San Salvador, El Salvador. I would describe the process as difficult. There are always two interviews in El Salvador, about one week apart. The first interview is basically to submit the paperwork from package 4. This was done my a female Salvadorian national working at the US embassy, who basically screened the paperwork and give you a date and time for the second interview. According to wife this person was very rude and treated my wife like she was an idiot. Even though we were very well prepared and had all the paperwork listed in package 4. She Requested a I-864 from me and my co-sponser, to include tax returns for the current year, bank statements and the rest of of the supporting documents for the next interview in just 1 week!! Normally only a I-134 is needed so this is not normal for a K1 from everything I have and been told. This amounted a completely a unreasonable request. Even through Fedex/UPS/DHL it takes f... read complete review

My wife attended her interview and she was told that we both had to return for another interview together. They scheduled our interview for the 24th of December. They separated us and questioned my wife and then they question me. The consulate officer was not too mean but he did get down to business and questioned us everything from our first kiss to our first date. In the end, he told us to wait and fifteen minutes later we were told we were approved. The El Salvador Embassy is very hard to work with and you have to be very prepared when going to the inverview. Take pictures, letters, phone records and anything that you may have from the first day. DO NOT go unprepared. God bless everyone who has helped us to be together. Including this site

Working with the Salvadoran Embassy has been interesting. They always conduct two interviews, one week apart. At the first interview, my fiance was asked to present additional co-signer support at the second interview. My parents provided a second Affidavit of Support (I-134), but since we had only a week, the documents were scanned, sent by email, and printed by my fiance. He attended his second interview and was told that everything was in order, his visa was approved, but he needed to provide the original documentation of the second I-134 in order to receive the visa. He didn't complete the final steps of the process which are: paying $13 for the visa to be sent and getting fingerprinted.
We sent the original I-134 form directly to the embassy and it was received a week later. When I called the Call Center (horrible, cold, robots of people), they told me processing time takes at least 45 days and I should call back then. All of our plans had been made for the following month,... read complete review
