[chassisboyz@yahoo 2]

Hi, everyone I've been trying to schedule a k1visa interview for my fiance at the U.S Embassy in haiti... but no luck it's said the are currently no schedule appointment available...is there's a specific time the Embassy will put out available schedule? I'm lost not knowing what to do

Previously I have read the embassy in Haiti is backlogged up with appointments, it may take several days or longer of checking to finally score an interview date.  Hopefully someone who has recently been through Haiti can confirm how long their experience was, and any tipes.

I'm sorry to tell you Newbie but you may be in for a long wait (we are all on the same boat so hang in there). My fiancé and I have been looking for interview dates since March (more than three months of waiting and there have been n-o-n-e... zero dates!). I will tell you this... don't be shy about calling to embassy to inquire about your case (703.544.7842). If we were not diligent about calling the embassy just to check in, there is information that we would NOT be aware of. What is more frustrating is that this information is not public.

 

For example, our case was forwarded from the NVC in January 2019, we heard from the Haitian embassy about next steps in March 2019 (via email). In May, we also received embassy notification via postal mail. Letter was dated January as if it took four months for a letter to travel for Haiti to New York. Anywayyyyyyyy... because we kept calling the embassy to check in our case, that is the ONLY reason we found out that the embassy is NOT posting interview dates at this time (we got this information in late March).

 

What the embassy is informing people who call about their case, is to get ALL of your required documents (incl medical, affidavit of support, proof of relationship, passport photos etc.) and drop everything off at DHL in Haiti. Only then will the embassy contact you (at their leisure) with an interview date. If you are waiting for embassy to actually post interview dates who know when they will start doing that again. FYI - we dropped everything the embassy is requiring at DHL on April 23, we confirmed that the embassy received everything on April 24. And we are STILL waiting on an interview date (it is now June 27). Today marks exactly one year since my fiancé and I began this k1 visa journey (a process we read would take 6 to 9 months from start to finish... that's joke).

 

All I have to say is that thankkkkkkk Goddddddd my fiancé and I are praying folks because God is the only one who has been sustaining us through this HORRENDOUS process. My advise is to pray that God sustains you and your fiancé through this process Newbie. Also pray to God that your paperwork don't get loss or sent to the wrong embassy (that's happened). If you and your fiancé are not praying folks, start praying.

 

Good luck and keep us posted! (also, sorry for the long dissertation but just wanted to share our experience so far in case it's helpful to anyone reading this post).

I would wait with scheduling the medical until you actually have a better idea on the interview date. If she already schedules and has the medical now, she runs the risk of the medical being expired at the time of the interview (the medical is valid for 6 months and if the medical is expired, it needs to be done again). This might cause even additional delays..

Hi...did you get a interview date yet?

YES!!! THANK YOU JESUS!!! We received an email on Wednesday telling us that our interview was on Friday (Aug 9) at 7am. AFTER ALMOST FOUR MONTHS OF WAITING ON THIS INTERVIEW, we finallyyyy got it!!! 💃🙌🙏💃. PRAYER WORKS!!!

 

I will share that I used to call the embassy once a week to check in on the status of our case. For the past month or so, I started calling more often 2-3x a week and through doing that, we learned that we needed to submit another DS-160 form (although we did already in April when we submitted all of the required documents incl. our medical). That was very frustrating to be frank!

 

When we submitted the new DS-160, we noticed that some of the order of the questions had changed and there was a new ‘social media’ question on the form asking for my fiancé’s social media accounts (Facebook, Twitter, IG etc). Aside from that, the DS form was pretty much the same.

 

Also, through calling the embassy more often every week, we learned that new embassy officers have arrived in Haiti as of last month (in July) to help with the backlog. Anyway, almost 14 months after beginning this horrendousssss process, my fiancé and I will finally be reunited (in a few weeks). THANK YOU JESUS!!!

 

Hang in there. Hope you’re reunited with your loved one soon as well.
