CaribbeanMedical/Vaccines

No not true. Vaccines are not obligated to have for k-1 it's your decision. Just know he will need them here during AOS. People just do it in DR because they are already there and its cheaper than it would be here in the US. I know plenty of people here on VJ that have done their medical with out the vaccines. Dee and Jay is one of those memebers. Just ask.

Caribbeanmedical exam HELP!!

I received an email from them with the packet 4 and the cita letter. I emailed them and they said you just need that and passport fotos for the medical appointment. So no you do not need the original because they meialed it to you already. The original they said would look the same as the one in the email.

CaribbeanDom. Rep. ~ If you Pick up Visa from Domex... How soon is it ready?

Its ok I was the and still am the same way! lol After your interview is done you can check the dos website to see when your visa is issued in can take 4 business days or longer after the appointment. The status the day of your interview will say Administrative Processing and when it is complete it will change to issued. Once it is issued they will send it to Domex which is the mail carrier that ships it. You can check their website with the tracking number they will give you at the interview when you pay them. Their website will say in transito until they receive it and when they do you can call them to let them know not to shop it you will pick it up. I can tell you it can take more than 2 business days after the interview so don't get your hopes to high. You have to wait for the embassy to create the visa and sent it to domex first. Good Luck!

CaribbeanDom. Rep. ~ If you Pick up Visa from Domex... How soon is it ready?

When you are at the counter to pay the domex fee you can ask them that you would prefer to pick it up they will tell you the nearest location. To your address

That is correct. They sent ours to Santiago since it is close to Nagua. My friend had her man pick it up in the capital cause he lives there. 


Natalie Y EliasFemaleDominican Republic2013-08-14 08:11:00
CaribbeanDom. Rep. ~ If you Pick up Visa from Domex... How soon is it ready?

Our Visa was issued on the 8th of August and Domex received it today and my Fiance went to pick it up. Since he lives in Nagua it was sent to the Domex in Satiago just an fyi. 


Natalie Y EliasFemaleDominican Republic2013-08-13 12:53:00
CaribbeanPicking up Visa vs. waiting for it in the mail?

I understand you want to plan, we all did or do. Most of our fiance's have never left the country including mine. They all did just fine traveling by themselves. There are plenty of people that know he is traveling on staff and assist rather well. Besides once he is in it's not like you can be with him while they ask him questions during point of entry so you will be separated anyways. I would not take that chance on buying plane tickets because its different from every case. Our visa was issued 4 days after interview and was ready to be picked up at domex 3 days after that, but my friend Monica who was just approved had her interview on Monday and her visa in hand by Wednesday. Its all a gamble but your fiance being a man from DR will know how to fend for himself. Don't start babying him now they get used to that!!! Hope you don't get offended it's just the truth! :) Good Luck!

CaribbeanElectronic copy of packet 4 for medical exam?

Caribbeandominican republic interviews

Very Possible. Monica and Wellington received theirs Wednesday and their interview was Monday. Maybe not the same day but it is possible to receive it with in the same week. In their case in 2 days. 


Natalie Y EliasFemaleDominican Republic2013-10-28 08:21:00
CaribbeanOpinion...Pick the Visa up in Santo Domingo or Deliver to Punta Cana?

When your Visa is approved and you pay Domex you have an option to pick it up. They have 2 locations Santo Domingo and Santiago. Depending where you are on the map is the office they will have you pick it up at. Ex: My hubby lived in Nagua and he picked it up in Domex @ Santiago about 3 days later. Good Luck.

USCIS Service CentersUpdate Application Before RFE?
They would send it to the same adress the app was sent to. I would call them to make sure. Dont forget to write a letter explaining it.

USCIS Service CentersUpdate Application Before RFE?
Hypnos,says no but I have seen a lot of cases here where people remember something and send it with a copy of the noa1 and they link it. I am not sure if it would delay your process but then again so would a RFE. Its up to you really. Good luck.

Waivers (I-601 and I-212) and Administrative Processes (221g)Day 60 on AP....

Manita... Read this and just pray. Fight for what is yours and don't lose faith or hope. I know its easier said than done and all though I haven't had my interview yet any thing could happen. I know soon you and Jhon will be together. I think you have some great advise here and you should put your game face on and do what you can. Contact who ever you need to especially God (and your local congressman lol). You know this!!! I love you Dee! 

 

 

PREPARING FOR THE PROMISE

 
 
 
TODAY?S SCRIPTURE
 
?LORD, You have heard the desire of the humble; You will prepare their heart; You will cause Your ear to hear.?
(Psalm 10:17, NKJV)
 
 
 
TODAY?S WORD -  from Joel and Victoria
 
In the scripture, it says that God didn?t lead the Israelites by the shortest route to the Promised Land; He took them the long way on purpose because they were not prepared for war. God knew that if He would have taken them into the land too quickly, they would have been easily defeated. Their enemies were much bigger and much more experienced. I?m sure they prayed many times, ?God, we?re uncomfortable out here in the desert. We?re hot. We?re tired. Where?s our Promised Land??
But God didn?t answer that prayer, not because He was trying to make their lives miserable, but because He knew what was up in front of them. He had to prepare them to step into the fullness of their destiny.
In the same way, God has already laid out the plan for your life. He knows exactly what you need and when you need it. If you are in a difficult situation that?s taking longer than you had hoped, know that God is preparing you. He is strengthening you. Stay in faith and keep praising Him as you move forward into the Promised Land He has for you!
 
 
A PRAYER FOR TODAY
 
Father, thank You for leading and guiding me. Thank You for Your hand of blessing upon my life. I choose to trust You even in the difficult times knowing that You are preparing me for the promises in my future in Jesus? name. Amen.
 
? Joel & Victoria Osteen

US Citizenship General DiscussionHow Can I Find Out If My Ex Has Obtained Citizenship?

I called about this same thing yesterday. The lady at USCIS told me that I too still have responsibility of my ex-husband and to include him in the household. She also told me he could fill out and I1864 as well and include him in the earned income. I can't get a hold of him and if I could he probably would but I doubt he will make this easy. I know he is about to become a US Citizen since he is joining the Navy in November and the military expedites the process so it will be rather quick, but I really don't want to wait on doing the AOS until this happens. I'm lost.

I can tell you that they never give you ANY info, I have no iea why one is even tranferred to them. They always gave me off the wall answers that made no sense. Last time I call they told me June 24 and my Noa 2 was recieved May 22 so they don't know. I wouldn't follow their advice to much. I found out by checking the USCIS.gov till I was blue in the face until it said approved.

IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsName change

Honestly it is a personal choice to change our last name not a requirement. When you get hear if you wish to have you married name listed on your documents just change it then. I feel if you open that can of worms now it just might delay things. If you were approved it was because it's a bonafide relationship not because of your name. goofy.gif
