NVC will work with the U.S. Embassy/Consulate General in SAN SALVADOR, ELSL to schedule an interview appointment for you. Once we have confirmed an interview date, we will send a notice to you, your petitioner and attorney (if applicable).

Not sure how long El Salvador is taking to schedule appointments, but probably 3-5 months?

Start gathering all the original documents.

Good luck!

Wait until the waiver is approved. I wouldn't risk going there without having the I601-A approval letter on hand.

They do schedule appointments once the ds260 (which is what you're talking about) is complete. If you're scheduled before the waiver is approved you just have to cancel and reschedule.

Do not leave the US without that waiver in hand!
