I'm not sure but i'm so happy that in just days that the case arrived at the consulate from NVC I received an email with packet 3 which I sent back immediately electronically and physically (via cargo express) 2 days later they send packet 4 (medical exam and interview date) which my parents got their exam the day after and 3 weeks later they go to their interview and get approved...I'm sooo happy!! Processing Estimates/Stats : Your I-130 was approved in 193 days from your NOA1 date. Your interview took 266 days from your I-130 NOA1 date.

Consulate Review: El Salvador Review Topic: IR-5 Visa Event Description Review Date : July 7, 2017 Embassy Review : The U.S Consulate in El Salvador were very quick in processing my parent's cases. They have a website where you choose your passport pick-up location, select your preferred interview date and time, and file and send the IV application. They quickly send you packet 3 and 4 via email and accept packet 3 electronically to move things faster but ask that you also send it in physically (via cargo express) for their records. The line outside is very long and you cannot take any mobile phones inside but once inside the consulate officers (they have 4 consulate officers) call up people to their window and the interview is very brief (for IR-5 cases) and painless.... for my spouse's K1 fiance visa 5 years ago it was a totally different story but for my parents' IR-5 is super quick and painless. The officers are courteous and professional. Rating : Very Good

*Notice about estimates: The estimates are based off averages of other members recent experiences
(documented in their timelines) for the same benefit/petition/application at the same filing location.
Individual results may vary as every case is not always 'average'. Past performance does not necessarily
predict future results. The 'as early as date' may change over time based on current reported processing
times from members. There have historically been cases where a benefit/petition/application processing
briefly slows down or stops and this can not be predicted. Use these dates as reference only and do not
rely on them for planning. As always you should check the USCIS processing times to see if your application
is past due.

** Not all cases are transfered
