Caribbeanpolice reports k1 visa

So I'm assuming the word "or" there means we only need one from Puerto Plata?

 

Sorry I sound thick, I just don't want to mess this up.

Caribbeanpolice reports k1 visa
Hello,

My fiance is trying to get her police reports together in the Dominican republic. We have a question, she lives in pop, but went to college for one year in Santiago. Do we need to get a police report for both places? If so how can we? We were told that you can only get a police report once per month and the interview is December.
Any thoughts?

Thanks

CaribbeanWhat to Do after receiving your NOA2

Hello,

 

So I think we might have made a mistake and I was wondering if anyone has the answers to it.

 

My fiance just took $160 + $15 to Banco Popular and paid for both of the required items.  She received the receipts but I just read on here that she had needs to bring the three documents, DS-156, DS - 230, and DS - 156k.   She didn't bring those in when she went to pay.

 

Will this matter?

USCIS Service CentersMaybe this is whats wrong with VSC

As it says in the news clip, if you have a purse and have bed bugs you could have just brought them to work. The gentleman says that bed bugs are anywhere where a human sits for a long period of time. Chairs, sofas, movie theaters, he says even taxis.


Hey its nice to see another Vermonter! I thought I was alone!

Mexico, Latin & South AmericaDominican Republic, Visa issued, ready for pickup?

Hello everyone,

 

My fiance and I just had our interview on 12/16 in Santo Domingo. 

 

We decided we would pick up the visa at domex in Santo Domingo instead of having it mailed to her.   CEAC says Issued and that the visa is in final processing.

 

Does anyone know what the average length of time is between Issued and ready for pick up in the Capitol?

 

Thanks!

US Embassy and Consulate DiscussionInterview date 12/16

Hello,

 

We filed a k-1 visa and were approved on 8/21.

 

I just called and got the information that our interview date is scheduled for 12/16!   Is there anyway to speed this up?   Flying 9 days before Christmas is next to impossible for me and my job!

 

Thanks,

Both her and I fly for free on standby, so it's easier for me to be there to help her navigate the whole process. Plus she has never flown before.

We want to get married in the United states before the new year for the tax benefits and since the interview isn't until 12/16 I'm not sure if we can get the visa mailed in time for that. Wondering if it would be easier to pick up the visa instead

US Embassy and Consulate DiscussionUS Embassy Santo Domingo

Hello!

 

I have 1 question for everyone.

 

 

Do you know if it is possible to pick up your Approved k-1 visa from the Embassy 1 or 2 days after approval?  

 

It would just be easier to fly down for the interview and fly back with my fiance instead of flying down for the interview and than back down to pick her up two weeks later.


EricyJessMaleDominican Republic2013-09-30 11:08:00
US Embassy and Consulate DiscussionEarlier Interview date

Hey everyone,

 

Does anyone know if it's possible to get on a standby list for cancellations or anything like that for a k1 interview in Santo Domingo, DR?

 

Our interview is on 12/16/13 which is 4 months from when we received our NOA2.   I could be there tomorrow if they'd let me.

 

Any thoughts?

US Embassy and Consulate DiscussionInterview on Monday, Are we Ready?

Hey everyone,

 

We were approved!  They didn't ask for any paperwork at all.  Didn't even take the I-134!  I'll have a full review later today!

 

Thanks for your help!!!

US Embassy and Consulate DiscussionInterview on Monday, Are we Ready?

I thought we do not need the form DS-156 or DS-156K anymore?? Would any one clear this up?

 

 

I believe that all forms DS-156, DS-156K were substituted by the DS-160 that must be filled online. idea9dv.gif

 

 

 

The way I understood it was that you have to file the DS-160 instead of the DS - 156, DS- 156K unless your interview was scheduled before October 7th, 2013.

 

Ours was scheduled in early September so we have to fill out the forms instead of doing the DS-160.

I just got a phone call back from my Senator's office (Vermont Patrick Leahy).   The immigration person said that my file finished background checks on monday and the average wait time after that is less than 30 days.  I'm keeping my fingers crossed!

Sounds like you are saying that you got a transfer notice on June 21 and then another transfer notice today (July 2).  Is this correct?
 
If so, then I'd guess that the transferred files are actually now at the TSC and the first notice was when it was first appointed to be transferred and the latest may be saying that it has made it to the destination.  
 
Not 100% on this, but it sounds about right.  





Yes,

On the 21st I learned that I had been transferred to another office, Then 3 days later I received in the mail a letter saying that it had been transferred to TSC. Now today I received another email saying the case has transferred to a uscis office. I thought the letter stating it was transferred to TSC was the confirmation of transfer?

The i129 petition for fiance was transferred and is now being processed at a uscis office. Does this mean it was transferred back to vsc?

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsFebruary 2013 filers K1

Of the 20 cases preceding ours, five were I129Fs. 
 
One received an RFE on 6/10
 
Three were "alien registration number changed" dated March 6th, same date as ours.
 
The case immediately preceding ours received an approval today. 
 
 
Of the 20 cases after ours, there were two I129Fs, both with "alien number changed."
 
I'm not sure how to interpret this data, maybe someone can shed some light.











My NOA1 date is 02/07/13, my alien number changed on 02/13/13 so I'm not sure if that means anything or not. it hasn't been touched since
