| Embassy Review : |
I pity the couple that has to deal with El Salvador. They give the American government a bad name because they are so disorganized, inefficient and callous. They have outsourced their customer service to a company in Mexico and it only makes everything more idiotic because you have a bunch of people that cannot speak good English depending on a monthly update from the embassy. The embassy does not respond to emails. In our case, they sent out packet 3 twice and the Visa Service Center wanted us to complete the requirements twice. We paid to have packet 4 sent by courier to my fiance in El Salvador and it was sent by regular mail to me in the States. At the interview, she had to endure questions on our sexual activity which I find very disrespectful and unsavory. After being told that she would have her visa and passport back in a week by a consular official, I bought an airline ticket. Now find it will be an additional 4 to 6 weeks. So, if you are dealing with El Salvador, plan on being disapointed. Plan on dealing with callous idiots. Plan on your fiance being asked when and how many times. Plan for lies and inconsistency. |

*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.
