High Risk Pregnancy

[Be Happy!! 60]

Hi Everyone, 

 

I hope all is well. I'm at the NVC stage and currently pregnant. As per my doctor's order I will not be able to fly for the interview when the time arrives. Unfortunately I'm High Risk. My question is when the time does come when I receive the notification of the interview is there any contact information where I can send the letter and explain why?

 

Your responses are greatly appreciated.

If you have not completed all the NVC steps yet, you can delay it so that you have your interview after the baby is born. You must attend an interview in person. It's not possible to be interviewed by phone or to skip the interview. If you gave completed all steps, I'd contact the NVC for your case to be paused.

Thank you for your response. So with this being said. My spouse can not attend the interview on his own at the Embassy in Dominican Republic?

Are you the US citizen or foreign spouse?

You are not required to attend the interview- unless the  DR requires it that I am unaware of.

Oh....I thought you were the intending immigrant. Your husband must attend the interview. You will need to look into the requirements for the Santo Domingo consulate whether USC spouses are expected or required to attend. Some consulates encourage it. Some don't allow it. Some don't care either way.

If you haven’t already, go to portals on the top of the screen and all the DR members should show up- or you can choose to follow the country. I find that area helpful for country specific questions since there are some variations between countries 🙂

Yes I have the Dominican Republic selected. I saw my thread on there also.

From just a tiny bit of research it seems like it is not required for you to be there but it is strongly recommended you attend the interview.

"not attending an Interview in the Dominican Rep Embassy is like Visa Suicide"

 

Additionally, I found several threads that state that although it's not a requirement you really should be there for the interview with this consulate. Can you delay at the NVC until after your baby is born?

Don't you think that if the consulate knows she can't fly because of a high-risk pregnancy they will have some compassion? Do they really have to delay the interview and wait months until the baby is born plus the time it takes for the baby to be able to fly? And how fun is it on a scale from 0-100 to fly with an infant? Negative 100?

As far as flying with an infant, from personal experience, it's much easier than flying with a toddler or preschooler...

Thank you for your response but I was thinking because of my complications w/my pregnancy that wpuld suffice as to why I'm not able to attend the interview.
