Dominican Republic Question

[JanaknJanet 0]

Hi all. I posted this question in the CR1 forum.. erum.. basically it was ignored.. and left unanswered.

so I ask please if there is anyone here in the Dominican Republic area that can assist it would be greatly appreciated..

Hi all. I was talking to my daughters Volleyball coach. I learned that she and her husband have filed for IR1 back in 2005. She is filing via Dominican Republic.. and I understand it is extremely long wait for interview once the file is in the embassy there.

She has been given her info that the case is now in Dominican Republic.. that it left the USA and was sent to Dominican Republic with a prefernce date of 3 2006 but a acceptance date of 2 2006.. She has a number of where she is sitting in Que.. back in feb 2006 she was at 22000. We checked today and found out she is at 8000. the way it looks her husband might get his interview possibly by August? No idea of how or when...

The question I have and she also has... since she has already gotten her NOA1 for the I-130 back in 2006... should she chance it and apply for a K3?

I think that it is terrible that she will be waiting close to 2 years just for interview.. and that is with no AP.. no RFE.. nothing.. just sitting in Dom Republic waiting in que.. ..

Anyone have a idea as far as what she should do . or where to turn to next.?

Does anyone have the phone number of the Congressman or Liason in Oregon that she might be able to contact.. oops.. wait. .she filed when she was in New York.. and is using her mom's address.. so not to confuse anyone.. so. I guess she might need to contact the Congressman from New York? I think this long might need a little push? thoughts??/

I don't know anything about the Dominican Republic but my question is, do K-3 visas get a number as well? That would be a starting point, because if she's already at 8000 from 22000, it wouldn't be smart to start up again at the lowest end of the line with a K-3 visa.

I did the process via the DR and had our interview about a year ago. I did an IR1 and K-3(which didn't proceed). Filing for a K-3 at this point would be a waste of time and money because since the I-130 has already been approved, the K-3 would be rendered 'not applicable'. Furthermore, whether on a IR1, CR1, or K-3, each beneficiary must wait in the same queu. If it were the case that her K-3 could have been approved and transferred to the SDO, the case would still sit in line.

In the past, when I and some other people I know have contacted congresspeople to assist with this delay, our requests haveyielded no results.

Hope that helps.

Thanks for the helpful information. .. I really feel for those stuck in the situation such as the Long que in DR... .. and other countries that tend to wait and wait for clearances..

I wish that we could do something to make it fair for all.. and using the same time guidelines... ... It just is heart-hurtful seeing others just as in love getting faster services simply due to where their country is... ..

My daughters coach.. has decided to await.. but will like to discuss with possibly the congressman or liason of NEW York of what can she do... I will forward whatever information I can to help her. She does not have a pc available to her so i am helping her here with what I can.

Again Thanks for all the information...

I completely understand and feel her pain. I too waited 13 long months for my husband's interview, simply, as you said because of the country of adjudication. Unfortunately, there is a significant backlog in the DR, no one understands exactly why, but hopefully things will take a turn for the better with the new 'management'.

Hello, if she is in the 8000 I don't think she will be getting an interview by Aug because everymonth they take 1000 to 1500 people to interview so it may take longer until she gets an appt. Good luck.
