| Comments : |
Working with the Embassy in El Salvador has been a complete nightmare! We never even received "Packet 3" from the Embassy even after 8 very expensive phone calls to them! They did finally send my fiance something in October, 2007 but we quickly discovered that they sent us the wrong thing! The packet they sent Giovanni was for a K3 Visa and we have filed for a K1 Visa. Thank God I was able to get a North Carolina Senator to listen to me and our situation, and from his office we received the correct "Packet 3." Giovanni's interview is on April 7th. We will be so thrilled when our journey with this rude, incompetent Embassy ends and we can FINALLY start our new life together. We started this process in December, 2006 and hope to put an end to this long, drawn-out madness by May, 2008. |

| Embassy Review : |
God bless any of you who have had to work with the same group of individuals of this Embassy, as we have. Giovanni and I got engaged on 11/18/2006 and the Texas Service Center received my petition for Giovanni on 12/07/2006. Our I-129F was approved on 03/17/2007. Things didn't start to get bad until our case arrived with the Consulate of El Salvador. We never received "Packet 3" from them. We called that useless, expensive number to Mexico about 8 times and were ALWAYS given contradicting information. We could call one day and get some piece of information and then call the very next day and be told something completely different! On 10/20/2007 we thought we were FINALLY getting somewhere with these incompetent morons, when Giovanni received "Packet 3" from them. However, we soon realized that the fools had sent the WRONG packet!! They sent a K3 packet and not a K1! When we called to complain, we got the same speach we'd heard a million times: "We'll file a report. Wait 30 days and you should have the information." It was only after I was able to get a NC Senator to help us out, that on 12/28/2007 we finally received what we'd been wating on since March, 2007. The Senator mailed me the information and I hand carried to El Salvador with me on a trip there. Giovanni's interview is soon and we can only hope that we'll finish this outrageous process and wash our hands of the whole ordeal. When forced to work with this Embassy, be prepared for lots of heartache, frustration, dissapointment, confusion, and anger.  |

*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.
