Help!!! I am going Crazy here. My fiance and I were approved on March 28th for the Fiance Visa and were told the Visa would be ready in 3-5 days to pick up the Domex in Santo Domingo. We thought he would come back with me on Sat. Sat came and went and No Visa... I have been here since Sat waiting on him and the Visa is still not @ the Domex. Anybody experienced this wait? How long did it take for your Visa to arrive at the Domex? Thanks for answering.

That sounds weird. Domex is a courier service. After your interview is approved you will receive a slip of approval from the CO and you are directed to go pay for it in the Consulate a fee of $16 before you leave. They will deliver it to your fiance's residence. If he lives in a major city (easy to travel) place then it should arrive less than a week. If he lives in harder to reach areas it may take 7-10 days.

K1 Visa Process -> 12/09-06/10 Married -> 09/10/10 AOS Process -> 09/10-12/10 Removal of Conditions-> 09/12-07/13

U.S. Naturalization -> 7/8/20

We were approved and told to pay at the Domex. We had the option for the Visa to be delivered to him in his home in La Romana or to pick it up at the Domex in Santo Domingo. We chose for him to pick it up there because we were scared of a delay with the delivery. We were told it would be at the Domex in 3-5 days. Now everytime we call the Domex they tell us something different... First it was 3 - 5 days then it was 3 days to 2 weeks and then 1 week to 6 weeks and today they told us it could take up to 2 months.

Ok I see. Well I wonder what's taking so long. Maybe there was an error or correction they had to make. I hope you guys get it soon.

Hello,

My fiance's interview was on a Wednesday and we picked up his passport with visa at the Santo Domingo DomEx office the following Monday. If DomEx still does not have the passport and visa is really because they have not yet received it from the Embassy. You should call the Embassy and inquire on the status of your fiance's visa. I have read about some Dominican beneficiaries having delays in getting the visa due to spelling errors on the printed visa, then to correct the errors and re-print the visa the Embassy takes its time...

Best wishes! (F)

I called the toll free number that is 7.00 per call on Wednesday and told the operator about my situation and gave her my case number and she was saying she didn't see record of where the case was approved and I told her the interviewer said you are approved and can pay at the Domex and she said she would send an email to the appropriate department and if I have not heard anything in a week to call back. I was hoping she just did not know what she was talking about and the visa would arrive to the Domex in the next couple of days. I will call them again on Monday. Thanks so much.

Have you received any news of the Visa whereabouts yet? We had our interview on Wednesday, April 6th and picked up the Visa on Friday, April 8th from the DomEx office. The DomEx people called us Thursday, April 7th at 6 p.m. to tell us it was ready. After the interview they said it would take 1-2 weeks to be received. I hope things resolve for you :) I have faith that they will :)
