Right now you are still at 3 months. At VSC (vermont service center) NOA2 are taking anywhere from 5-7 months. Lately they have been speeding things up so you could be looking at a late June early July approval. After the NOA2 (approval), your case is forwarded to the NVC (national visa center). Normally it stays there a week or so and then it is sent to DR. While at NVC you will receive your new sdo case number and possibly an interview date which lately has been 1.5-2.0 month wait.

After your fiance is approved, she will enter US and you have 90 days to marry. You then file for AOS (adjustment of status) along with EAD (employment authorization document) and AP (advance parole). You have to wait for AP in order for her to be able to travel outside of the US. Once she receives a greencard, she can leave the US for upto 6 months at a time, but that is not recommended (leaving for that long). They need to see that her PERMANENT residence is the US (she resides here most of the year).

Good luck!

Hello Ricky,

My overall advice would be to read LOTS about the process. You should read the "Guides" (which are at the top of the page), then also you could read the posts specific to the DR. Go under "Portals" and review the post history. I read many, many, MANY posts, guides, interviews experiences, etc. during the petition process. If you still have questions after reading lots and studying independently you will find that the VJ community is most helpful --and we will not charge you hundreds of dollars like your lawyer...

Your petition will be likely be adjudicated (and hopefully approved) around the end of June or first half of July. After the petition has been approved the interview will be scheduled. In average, from the petition approval to interview date is about 3 months (though I was lucky and my interview took less time to get scheduled).

Best wishes!
