The first portion of the post was written as my initial question. i needed to back track so my situation makes sense. On August 2018:

On March 2017 I got married in the Dominican Republic and started the cr1 process for my husband shortly after. Long story short we were a little more than half way through the process ( A case number was assigned and I got an email stating to start paying the fees to continue). We ended up breaking up and leaving the process alone ( so I didn’t respond to the email) and haven’t been in contact since. I am still married and I am currently looking into getting a Divorce. My family is from the Dominican Republic and we vacation there quite often. And you guessed it. I currently like someone else and we have been talking for quite sometime. This time I do not want to get married right away and again it seems like we really like eachother. I was wondering if my previous relationship/marriage will get in the way of my current boyfriend getting his visa if we go the fiancé route. ( trying to take my time). The reason being is he has already been denied when he petitioned for a vida and we feel in this is our best route. Will the fact that I started this process and never finished work against me or in my favor? I know no one is an expert but hoping someone can shed some light on this! Thanks. 

 

 

fast forward to current date and my new questions. Any advice is  

okay so I emailed the NVC on September and they responded back stating “ the application is under administrative review they will advise me if there is anything else they need from me. I have already started my divorce and luckily it has been smooth sailing. We aren’t in a rush and have just been enjoying each others company as we figure it all out. After visiting this August I went in October and will be going for New Years. We are currently opening a joint saving account in Dominican Republic for dates sake. What we would like to know is once this whole thing is over. Like I hear back from NVC and the cancelation and my divorce is finalized, how long should we take to start our process? We have nothing but proof to send out plane tickets dates pictures money transfers we just don’t know when it’s a good time and if the fiancé route is the way to go for us. Thanks!!
