I am about to send form I-129F. Part 2 section 3 of the form requires a mailing address for my fiancé. She lives in a very rural area of Dominican Republic and does not have a mailing address. I have seen where she lives when I met her family and I honestly don't seen anywhere local to her where mail can be delivered except the little town of Gaspar Hernandez.

I called the visa center here in the United States and they said to mark the section N/A and See separate pages attached to Quote "Tell the U.S. embassy the procedure for sending my fiancé mail and notifications about her medical exam and visa appointment".

Here is my question. Since I don't know anything about the Dominican postal service what would be the best procedure for the U.S. embassy to send my fiancé mail? Or should I just leave our phone numbers so the embassy or I can inform her that she has mail or information for her to pick up and can she go to the U.S. Embassy in Santo Domingo to pick up the mail and information?

Thank you,

(Moderator hat off)

The consulates and embassies are usually well aware of communication difficulties and have developed systems to work around them. Following the advice that you were given would seem to be prudent. If your fiancee is to be contacted by phone but has changed her phone number during the process, be aware that this would affect notifications.

Members familiar with the Dominican Republic should be along with insights.

06-04-2007 = TSC stamps postal return-receipt for I-129f.

06-11-2007 = NOA1 date (unknown to me).

07-20-2007 = Phoned Immigration Officer; got WAC#; where's NOA1?

09-25-2007 = Touch (first-ever).

09-28-2007 = NOA1, 23 days after their 45-day promise to send it (grrrr).

10-20 & 11-14-2007 = Phoned ImmOffs; "still pending."

12-11-2007 = 180 days; file is "between workstations, may be early Jan."; touches 12/11 & 12/12.

12-18-2007 = Call; file is with Division 9 ofcr. (bckgrnd check); e-prompt to shake it; touch.

12-19-2007 = NOA2 by e-mail & web, dated 12-18-07 (187 days; 201 per VJ); in mail 12/24/07.

01-09-2008 = File from USCIS to NVC, 1-4-08; NVC creates file, 1/15/08; to consulate 1/16/08.

01-23-2008 = Consulate gets file; outdated Packet 4 mailed to fiancee 1/27/08; rec'd 3/3/08.

04-29-2008 = Fiancee's 4-min. consular interview, 8:30 a.m.; much evidence brought but not allowed to be presented (consul: "More proof! Second interview! Bring your fiance!").

05-05-2008 = Infuriating $12 call to non-English-speaking consulate appointment-setter.

05-06-2008 = Better $12 call to English-speaker; "joint" interview date 6/30/08 (my selection).

06-30-2008 = Stokes Interrogations w/Ecuadorian (not USC); "wait 2 weeks; we'll mail her."

07-2008 = Daily calls to DOS: "currently processing"; 8/05 = Phoned consulate, got Section Chief; wrote him.

08-07-08 = E-mail from consulate, promising to issue visa "as soon as we get her passport" (on 8/12, per DHL).

08-27-08 = Phoned consulate (they "couldn't find" our file); visa DHL'd 8/28; in hand 9/1; through POE on 10/9 with NO hassles(!).

Thank you,

Here are the office locations for INPOSDOM throughout the Dominican Rep.

http://www.inposdom.gob.do/institucion/directorio-de-ubicaciones

My advice would be to see which one of those are the closest and if they could allow her to have mail sent there. I can't remember exactly if USCIS allows a PO Box to be a mailing address. If they don't, could you have her use the address of another family member (that can be trusted)?
