Well, I'm pretty fit and do a lot of heavy lifting!   💪 I did indeed look at the consulate info and it said 3 days.  I was just questioning/doubtful of the timeline.   Seems pretty quick.

Did you look for the sub-forum for your region and then if anyone from Columbia has started a thread addressing the "what is next" question. :thumbs:

Well I know what's next, I was just weary of the 3 day timeline.  I wasn't saying it isn't possible, just amazed that it could possibly be there in 3 days, that's all.    Trust me, I'm hoping it's that short of a time!  I've done the steps you've outlined, including gathering documents in the P3 you posted and filling out the DS160.

Ok. It's a new week and fresh cases with case numbers are heading out to the Embassies. I hope everyone is on board for this trip. Starts Tuesday and Wednesday. Be sure to check the CEAC website for status updates.

 

If you want an advance copy of your Embassy P3 letter just hit me up as I have most.

 

You can track you package from NVC to your Embassy by using this little trick. Caution: All of the cases on this shipment for your Embassy will include your case as well as others. So this shipment is not just your case file. Please don't ask "is my case in that shipment"!

 

Go to www.dhl.com click Express then Tracking, then Track by Shipper's Reference, and on this page you add your search information. You change the day and month to what you think your package might have left NVC or call NVC to get the date your package had left NVC in route to your Embassy then go to the DHL website and enter the following information:

  

EXAMPLE:

* Shipper´s Reference : EXP 24 MAR 2011A  (This is the date you think it left NVC, just substitute the date and leave everything else as is)

* Date range for shipment - From: 23 - 03 - 2011

* Date range for shipment - To: 26 - 03 - 2011

Account Number - Leave this blank

Shipment Destination: Manila (Works for any Country Just replace the city where the Embassy is located)

What will be the shipper reference number ? where can I find that ?

It is right there in the documents and I will highlight here once again for you.

 

Shipper´s Reference : EXP 24 MAR 2011A  (This is the date you think it left NVC, just substitute the date and leave everything else as is)

 

So, if you think it left NVC on November 27, 2018 you would list it this way: EXP 27 NOV 2018A.

Thank you for your help

This is what I have been able to piece together from different sources which will help answer "how do I get started?" question.

 

http://www.visajourney.com/consulates/index.php?ctry=Dominican%20Republic&cty=Santo%20Domingo

 

https://drive.google.com/file/d/17b9Xxvd_YAgCenc65GwkdDDO5-3NytY3/view?usp=sharing

 

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.

 

Once we passed that hurdle we managed to fill and file DS-160 print in PDF the confirmation page.  We also printed in PDF the DS-160 already filled and filed.  By this week we hope to complete the medical and all requested documents. Know I will fill form I-134 as part of my files and wait patiently to meet again with my love 😍

 

From <http://www.visajourney.com/forums/topic/677434-july-2018-noa2-nvc/?page=74>

 

After you have gone to the VAC and your case is ready in the USA Embassy in Santo Domingo, you can go to do your medical.

 

You don't need appointment, you just need to arrive early, before 11.00am.

 

They work from Monday to Friday.

 

You can get your results in 1 week but it is better if you go 10 or 15 days before your interview just in case that something happen with their system and so on.

 

From <http://www.visajourney.com/forums/topic/665645-medical-exam-dominican-republic/>

 

What they are asking for is a letter that the embassy is supposed to send by email and mail box  to the petitioner, but we never got that letter in the email, so I called a lot the embassy too but they kept saying that I didn't need that letter for the medical, so I emailed them and they sent the same answer that I was getting by phone.

 

I went to Consultorio de visas and I show them the Letter that NVC sent by email to my fiancé, over there is all the information and the SDO Number.

 

Did your fiancé get that letter?

if you got it you could  use that one and they should accept it because they did with me.

and the other choice that works with another girl was that she took a screenshot to the page in the CEAC where you check your visa status and it says READY, meaning that the case is ready for the interview.

 

That was in the other place called SERVICIOS MEDICOS CONSULARES.

Call them and find out, maybe they can help you.

From <http://www.visajourney.com/forums/topic/665645-medical-exam-dominican-republic/>

 

The police ceratification, reporte de buena conducta, is obtained online at this site:  https://portal.servicios.pgr.gob.do/?sinPermiso=True

 

You must pay the fee (500 pesos) at Ban Reservas first, and enter the receipt number.  

 

The report is then emailed to you.  It is valid for one year from date of issuance.
