As a heads-up - I know nothing about the process in DR, but...... Not meaning to add more stress to the situation....but just check out what will happen with your wife's medical if she is pregnant.

Having a pregnant woman go through the Medical for a US Visa is more common that one would think. For the Vaccinations there is a blanket waiver since she won't be able to get them all due to her con

I have to purchase plane tickets(more expensive now that's it's so close), make the hotel reservations. My wife needs to do her medical and my step-daughter, then travel back in 2 days to get the TB results. I have to put in for vacation i need to take in 2 weeks with no notice to my job and they won't like that it's such short notice and might deny me. I know I sound ungrateful since people are waiting forever just to get their NOA2 and such, but 3 weeks notice for interview is #######!

Matt you are totally right about feeling this way. A lot of people have jobs that they can just say I need next week off but people like me and you don't. Not to mention all the expenses. I hope you will be able to reschedule it, but if not I wish you all the best. This is def #######! :angry:

I completely agree with you Matt. I was eager for my NOA2 and i864 etc etc but after hearing this I might take my time. It is hard on the pockets and also not easy to get off of work. They will take this into consideration and most likely reschedule your interview being that you have to work in order to support them. Best of luck to you.. I am still waiting on a response regarding the transportation option for the medical that I told you about. :thumbs:

Hey Steph,

I have a headache I'm so pissed right now. I just got off the phone with my wife, and telling her what she needs to do. She's a month pregnant and she's feeling sick and I'm just shaking my head. I'm going to just bite the bullet and make my reservations now, only road block could be my job, two weeks notice is not going to sit well. At least with more time we could plan things out and take our time, but now we have to rush to get medical, and the police certificate, and such. I know some people are reading this and probably thinking, "At least you got an appointment, shut the hell up!" I know, I know, but this throws my whole schedule off. I'm going to call tomorrow and see what they say at the embassy, but i think i'm going to have to just go.

Sup Neo,

My wife's friend knows a agency that drives to the capital for this purpose so it's cool, thanks anyway. Had I known they would've done this so fast i would've waited to send everything in. I had called the NVC up last week to inquire about my appointment date, and the women told me they try to give at least a month so people can prepare. Hell, that would've been to close but at least it was more time, but 3 weeks??? We'll see what happens after i call tomorrow. If i can get a May interview, then fine, if not then I'll have to go down on the 29th, because april 2 is on a friggin monday!!! and i wanted to go 2 days before interview(not counting weekends). I'll fly down on the 29th(thur) and come back on weds.
