How long after completed at NVC for interview in DR?

[luvwtrNamy 2]

Hi all,

Just about complete at NVC, I think. Will send packet with AOs and supporting documents and DS230 and supporting documents tomorrow. Have paid all fees. now I am just wondering if anyone has had recent experience with how long after completed at NVC it takes to get interview in DOminican Republic? I saw the timeline in that portal that says 2-4 months but that hasn't been updated since Nov of last year. So wondering if thats still correct?

I've heard it's taking about a month after completion of case, due to the high volume of case, as well because it's summertime.

Good luck!

Around 2-4 weeks recently.

2-4 weeks. oMG. We are here visiting until the 31st. Ready to UPS the packet this morning although IV still says in progress. I paid it last Friday. Do you think it's a problem that it still says in progress? I fgured by the time NVCreceives the packet it will say paid.

One question, my step daughter's birth certificate is in one name and hershots are all in her "nickname." i listed her nickname under alias on DS230. Do you think thats ok? I remember when we went to the interview having to memorize my husband's givennames because no one calls them by those names. It cracked me up because the nickname wasn't anything like their given nameson their birth certificate.

I mean to say husband's parents given names not his. Lol

You should really play it safe and wait till it says PAID.

What do you mean by her shots?

Stephanie,

Her shots are her vaccines that she received as an infant. Also, we mailed it this afternoon. It will arrive on Wednesday morning. Luckily, the IV shows paid this afternoon. I looked at the packet like three times. Hopefully all is done to their liking,

Oh, if you mentioned her "nicknames" on the ds-230 then it should be fine. However, I would suggest always using her real given name for official things like that. I know sometimes we never call someone but their real name and forget, but it can be important for things like this.

By the way, were these vaccines done outside of consultorios de visa or by them?

Stephanie,

Thanks for the answer. I totally agree about using her real name but we had no control over that given that her mom took hertothe doctor's appointment and wasn't considering that one day we would be going through this process. Also, no the vaccones were not done through the consulate as they are the normal ones that every infant and newborn get at theor doctor's office. Obviously, done before we planned to do this process. It looks like on the website that if you can prove that certain vaccines were already given theywill not double up and give them again. I hope thats true.

Most likely they will make her get certain vaccines again. They usually do not value vaccine records. Esos ladrones pa cobrar mas!

They will post August interviews in early August. They are always super late!!
