Hola quiero ver experiencia si alguien a ido solo o sola auna entrevista en el consulado americanos en la santo domingo, le egradezco mucho su repuesta gracias


No es mandatorio ir los dos pero en santo domingo es recomendable algunas veces cuando la persona va sola a la entrevista le dan una cita abierta hasta que su pareja pueda venir y tambien e oido de casos donde la persona va sola y la aprueban en verdad no se sabe 100 porciento que va a pasar en tu caso.

National Visa Center (Dept of State)Priority date question

Did you send both the AOS and IV package at the same time? Were both fees generated at the same time? Or the NVC does not generate the IV fee before they have accepted the choice of agent?


I sent them in separated because i received the IV invoice. 1 day after i sent in my aos package Nvc didnt invoce my IV until after they had accepted my choice of agent.
I know they have receive my aos package and i know my IV package is sitting in their mail room so i am hoping they look at both of them soon.

MrsRodriguezFemaleDominican Republic2012-11-21 02:22:00
National Visa Center (Dept of State)Priority date question

I have no clue on how to find out if my priority date is current.
So a little bit about my case
I submitted my i-864
And my ds-230 and they were both received by nvc as of today my questions are:

1: how long does it take for them to review both my forms and close my case?

2: how do i find out if my priority date is current if its may01??

Thanks in advance for those who help ??

National Visa Center (Dept of State)Rfe
So unfortunately i received an rfe for my I-864a because i didnt send in solid proof of my relationship to my mother

My question:
How long after you send in your documents will it take for them to check them and close my case??
Im leaving the country in a month and i want to have everything fixed before i left.

National Visa Center (Dept of State)nvc is driving me crazy
Yes but they seem to have misplaced the one with the seal in the back i got to get my husband to send me another one which i'll receive on sat
MrsRodriguezFemaleDominican Republic2012-12-12 10:11:00
National Visa Center (Dept of State)nvc is driving me crazy
so on friday i received a checklist for my ds-230 which stated that i needed originals BC and MC
so i looked at the copy of my package and i did send originals for BC and MC i also included a photocopy because thats what the requested these two were stapled together. so i called nvc again and i asked to have a supervisor review it and also included the fact that i stapled a photocopy.

today i called and they said that the supervisor still doesn't consider them originals and that i should send a new one problem is
the other one is exactly the same as the one i sent and i checked online for what they are looking for and its the same thing

i quote "Two types of birth certificates are available: a condensed version called an "Extracto de Acta" and a longer version, called an "Acta Inextensa," which contains more information. Both versions are legitimate civil documents; however, only the Acta Inextensa is accepted for immigrant, K and V visa purposes.

Dominican civil documents used for visa purposes must be legalized at the Oficina Central del Estado Civil, the main civil registry office in Santo Domingo.(and the same thing goes for MC)

so what do they want me to do if what i sent is what they ask for?
i asked to have a supervisor contact me sometime this week is that the right thing to do?

:help: :crying: I really feel like giving up

US Embassy and Consulate DiscussionPacket #4 from Santo domingo embassy

Hi,
My wife the beneficiary hasnt recieved her packet #4 from the embassy yet that was suppose to be mailed our in the mail. I know the mail is not very reliabe here in the dominican republic, we also went to the post office here today and nothing there, Could we use the Email copy they sent both of us for the appointment to get into the embassy or we have to use the one they send to her from the embassy, running out of time interview is in 2 weeks?

Please respond Thank you.



I used the one i received vía email just print it out and I suggest to go get Medical done asap because if you wait any longer you have to go to pick it up at the embassy (ITs 10 business days the minimum)

US Embassy and Consulate Discussionhow to organize paperwork for la cita

Hey VJ fam!

I'm getting the documents and evidence ready la cita and I'm wondering how you guys (particularly the DOMINICANS filing for K1) organized all that paperwork! Did you use a binder, accordion file, file folders or something else? What were your sections labeled? Did you take extra copies of anything (other than DS-156)? Was there anything you were asked for, needed, or feel would have been beneficial that's not listed? I know you have to be prepared, they could ask for everything or nothing. What if anything would you have done differently? What and how much did you evidence did you provide?

my plan is travel itineraries, boarding passes, phone records & 1 MSN/Facebook/Skype conversation per month from the beginning of our relationship. What do you guys think? Is that enough?

any tips, advice or recommendations are welcome!

thanks in advance



I believe your evidence is good your doing great dont stress so much and for organization I used a binder(with the clear project organizers) and I filed the papers in order from when they came in and used color dividers for documents I received, documents like bc and mc, documents im submitting like , affidavit and ds-156, and then evidence it helped me a lot cause I knew where everything was and you can see everything clearly. Front and back good luck on your inrerview I hope i helped.

US Embassy and Consulate DiscussionInterview schedule (Dominican Republic)

Hey everyone. I just wanted to ask anybody that knows the System in The Dominican Republic. Can you please tell me when does the consulate start generating interviews during the month? and do you think that I'LL get my interview for next month if they received my case next week? Please let me know. the reason is because I have a very small time frame at my job and i have to let them know in advance. :wow: ( i mean a month in advance ) in order to take any days off. Any help would be great and thank you in advance. :thumbs:

You get your interview date a month before the actual interview so your ok but they schedule interviews all month long

Stupid rfe :

They are tough to convince but im fighting them all the way since i dont have anymore originals and it would take me 2 weeks to get new ones from DR so im fighting while i am waiting.

step in the process:
aos I-864



rfe:
i forgot to sign I-864a as sponsor (its really easy to look past it)
i also forgot to date my I-864 (co-sponsor)

what i learned:
checking it 5 times its not enough get other eyes to look at it maybe they spot something you completely missed,also dont rush when i sent it in i was rushing cause the post office was about to close.
