Found this useful info for everyone:          
The process for paying the fee is the following:
1. At the conclusion of your interview at the US consulate you will be given your A Number, your department of state case ID which is three letters with nine or ten numbers, and a sealed visa packet. You will also be given instructions regarding what you need to do to pay the fee
2. Create an online USCIS ELIS. Go to www.uscis.gov/USCIS-ELIS. Follow directions to create and online account and select “USCIS Immigrant Fee” and complete your personal biographic information.
3. Pay the USCIS immigrant fee of $165. You can pay the fee for all family members in one transaction. If you pay for family members, you must have their A-Numbers, DOS case ID numbers, and correct biographic information. You may pay with a valid credit or debit card, or a US bank checking account with the appropriate bank routing numbers.
4. Travel to the US
5. After you are admitted to the United States, USCIS will verify payment of the USCIS immigrant fee and mail your permanent resident card (green card) to the address you provided to the department of state at the time of your immigrant visa interview.
Many people believe that they will not be allowed to enter the US until they have paid this fee, and in fact we have heard that some officers at the consulate tell them that they cannot travel to the US until this fee is paid. This is not correct.
Once you have been approved at the consulate, a stamp will be placed in your passport and you have six months in which to enter the US and officially claim your status as a lawful permanent resident of the United States.
The USCIS immigrant fee is not required to be paid prior to traveling to the US; however you will not be given an actual physical plastic green card until the fee has been paid.
The stamp in your passport which indicates that you are a permanent resident is only valid for a period of one year and cannot be extended. If you have not paid the immigrant visa fee by the end of the one year, the stamp will expire and you will no longer have any proof that you are lawfully residing in the United States.
USCIS strongly recommends that you pay the immigrant fee after you receive your immigrant package from the department of state and before you depart for the United States.
The USCIS immigrant fee allows USCIS to recover the cost for processing and maintaining the immigrant visa package, and the cost of delivering and producing the permanent resident card.
Attorneys, accredited representatives, employers are not authorized to create a USCIS ELIS account on your behalf to pay the USCIS immigrant fee. Only you are the immigrant, may open a USCIS ELIS account and pay the required fee.
Please keep a copy of your receipt for your records. If you fail to pay your fee after entering the US, USCIS will send a request for evidence to your address.

Hey Palmira we have same SD! Give us a shout when u get cc !
 

So happy for you! You're so close !!! 

So happy for you! You're so close !!! 

Well, the refund request was submitted by our lawyers in May . After all the back and forth from February up until Beginning of April when our lawyers finally sent the  DS260 and all the other documents they lost some documents and they were submitted again in May which is why the 2nd scan date is May 22 . So we havent hit the 8th week mark.

Hello Sd7! I've been looking for other members who are coming from El Salvador! My husband lives in San Salvador. I've read online that the embassy isn't bad.  They ask between 6-8 questions and verify a few documents.
 
What was your checklist for if you don't mind me asking? Also, if the scan date was May 22nd I'd say the 8 week mark is July 17th. 

Hey guys, im a new member but have been watching the forum for a while has been really helpful. So my hubby's 2nd scan date is May 22 . Ive read around here to start checking status online every day at around the 8th week. Does saturday and sunday count or how does the counting works ? Also.. does anyone know hows El Salvador embassy ? As far as availability and all that. Thanks in advance.
