Haiti K1 Visa Applicants

[Justus Forever 85]

Hello all I am trying to find information on the K1 visa who's fiancé or fiancée are Haitian born but lives in the Dominican Republic. I ask a question before and got an answer to that question, but I would like to know who actually went through the process in the DR and not P.au.P. Like what doctors and fees what information do he need(fiancé). I've searched and I am sure I  just can't finding my answers. Thank you in advance

At the interview, they told us his passport would be ready in 14 days. They are taking the full 14 BUSINESS DAYS right now.

They sure are! Like geez they used to issue them in a week.

I can't speak to running the process in DR. But, I do know that the US Embassy will send you (via email and post to your US address), the list of approved doctors to visit for medical testing. Once you have scheduled your interview, you can reach out to the US Embassy in DR and request that information via email. Further, if your fiance has lived in Haiti or any other country since turning 16 (I believe its 16, maybe 18?), he will need to get a police report not only from DR but also Haiti.

I hope this is what you were looking for.

After waiting for "something" finally on August 3, 2018 the Embassy at Santo Domingo notified us by email that we that we could start filing DS-160 and scheduling  VAC  and Consulate Appointments.  As stated before in these forums the Santo Doming Embassy does not mail packet #3.  However we expected some kind of notification by "snail" mail but got the email instead.  Still in doubt that the package was received electronically since NVC sent it on July 24 and the info was updated on July 25 with status Ready.  Now the CEAC shows that the case was updated on August 6.

 

Since both medical exam providers  Consultorios de Visa and Servicios Médicos Consulares list the appointment sheet (Hoja de Cita)   as a prerequisite you must schedule your appointments on the ustraveldocs.com/do website.  In order to do that you need the DS-160 confirmation number.  

 

As stated in these forums be very VERY careful on creating your ustraveldocs (aka https://cgifederal.secure.force.com/applicanthome)  profile.  I won't spout the whole rant about the website.  Be mindful of two caveats: 1) Type the email exactly as it is.  One small typo will cause you not to receive anything since the profile will be created without the system validating the email first.  2)Never create more that one profile just to check out website user interaction.  I did both mistakes and had to call ustraveldocs and request that all 3 profiles (the first I created, the one with the typo in the email and the one with the correct email) be merged since I used the same beneficiary's data.  The system checks that and won't let you pay and schedule your appointments.  VAC appointment is on the last week of August and Embassy in mid-September.  After we are done I will be updating our timeline.

Dominican Republic is much easier with this process you will be required to attend the interview and the police certificate is very ast you will have it in one week and you can get it without any NOA 2 and once approved the visa comes in a few days . As far as needing a police certificate from Haiti if he was born in Dominican Republic he won’t need one for Haiti but just thank God you have it in DR you will have a smooth process once it leaves the US just be prepared to travel for that interview

Yes but you have to have your NOA2 to get the police certificate then it takes 15-20 days 🙄 in DR you can just get it but Haiti everything is complicated

Cocoa, quick question for you. The CEAC says that our visa is issued today! FINALLY. Our interview was 8/27. What did your fiance bring to DHL for pick-up. Nothing has changed in the US Travel Docs website.

Well here's the thing. We got an email saying: 

Your document(s) have been collected from the US Embassy/Consulate 

So immediately I went to the travel docs website to check the status and it said "Your passport is ready for pick-up" in the lower right box of the page. It was greyed out so you couldn't click on it or anything. There was literally nothing to print to take to DHL. So he took his confirmation letter that he took to the interview and they accepted that with no problem. Now they of course kept the confirmation letter at the interview but we made copies of everything so he had an extra. He had already went earlier that morning and DHL was like "Check your email because we don't have nothing here for you" We just so happened to get an email from travel docs at like 3 in the afternoon. So he went to get it. It's weird because my CEAC status never changed.

Thank you! Our CEAC says issued but no change on the US Travel Docs website and need to check with my fiance re: an email to him.
