Haiti - Embassy says it takes 4 to 6 weeks to receive packet... Really?

[JR loves JR 196]

Hi all,

So I was reading on the Haitian embassy website about the Fiancé visa packet taking 4 to 6 weeks to reach the beneficiary. Has this been true for those who have gone through the process in Haiti?

Also, the website say that he'll need to file the DS-160 but one of his friends was just approved for the K-1 and showed him the list out of Packet 3 and it stated that he needed to file the DS-156, DS-156K and form DS-230 (I'm fairly confident it was all three of those) but not the DS 160. I'm confused about which forms to have ready so if anyone else knows for Haiti and is willing to share, that would be awesome.

Thanks

Yes to both questions. He needs the DS-160. I completed it for my husband and sent him the confirmation page. Below is the list of what we submitted back to the embassy with the visa packet. Good Luck!!

This is a note about the DS-160. When you remove the quote you basically have the cover page for packet 3.

I'm glad I came across this post it was very helpful. I received my NOA1 on April 24 and still waiting for NOA2. I'm interested to see how the process will go once it gets to haiti as I'm very nervous things will go slow... Would love to know how your process has been and continues to be.
