Hello Guys,

I just wanted to provide a bit of information for the friends who have beneficiaries in the Dominican Republic. Consultorios de Visa (the place everyone goes to get their Medical done for interview) sent my uncle's medical exam results directly to the consulate. It used to be that people would pick up their exams the day before the interview. I was helping my uncle get ready for his IR-5 Immigrant visa interview on July 27th, 2012 and when he went to pick up his medical exams they told him "The results were sent to the consulate already"

He was not able to discern if others were in the same position, nor did he ask other beneficiaries waiting in the consulate. This may be a particular case or it may be a change in their procedures. When others go for their interviews please confirm!

So this is a just a heads up, people should still GO TO PICK up their exams but now you won't be surprised if they tell you the same.

BTW he was granted a visa.

Thx for the information. I just included this information in the Dominican Embassy Info page the other day. It's much easier to do this and it saves people are an extra trip.

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

You are right, it's one less thing beneficiaries have to stress over.

My husband's results were sent directly to consulate, and we had no issues. That was back in late April/early May.

It seems all the members here who recently went through this also had their results directly sent to the consulate without any issues.

My husband recently got his medical done and his results were sent directly to the consulate. We called a couple of days before to make sure it arrived. I think they are doing it this way. If they have an issue with anything they will contact the person. I honestly feel like this is a better concept :)
