Help Registering embassy appointment in Dominican Republic

[sbarbie1914 22]

We finally got an embassy appointment.  We are trying to follow the instructions as provided in the email, following the link provided to prepare.  https://travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/us-visas/Supplements/Supplements_by_Post/SDO-Santo-Domingo.html says Step 1:  Register your embassy appointment and submit fingerprints.  There is a link below this that says "register".  It takes you to https://www.ustraveldocs.com/do/ which is a screen filled with everything visa related for the Dominican Republic.  No where do I see "register embassy appointment".  I used the "live support" chat...what a joke.  No chat actually takes place.  You wait for eternity, then when your time comes, you leave a message and they contact you by email.  That email said "email rejected...fatal error".  

 

My husband and his children already had their medical exams, which all went well.  My husband has the phone number to schedule his fingerprints, so hopefully he will do that today.  It's just this registering the embassy appointment that is holding us up.  Anyone out there know how to do this?

You just have to a bit proactive and look into a bit more detail. Yours is immigrant visa case so looks for immigrant visas on that page. On the link you posted    https://www.ustraveldocs.com/do/ , look toward the bottom left, Click on "immigrant visa information", it will lead to a page. Read the last paragraph thereafter with the content below.

U.S. Embassy Appointment

Immigrant Visa applicants who have been notified by the National Visa Center (NVC) or the Consular Section and K visa (fiancé/fiancée) that their case is ready for interview should go here to create a profile and schedule an appointment to visit the Visa Application  Center (VAC) in the 10-day period prior to your interview at the U.S. Embassy

Before your appointment at the U.S. Embassy, you will need to gather the required documents; including the medical exam, police certificate, and birth and marriage certificates. Please bring your appointment letter and plan to arrive no more than 15 minutes your appointment time. Please read about security restrictions at the U.S. Embassy that describes what you can and cannot bring with you to your interview.

Hello. The Dominican Republic isn’t allowing anyone to schedule their own appointment. I believe before the pandemic that was something that could be done but now they are assigning interviews for you. You should receive an email from them at some point with your interview date.

How long did it take you to get an interview? We've been waiting 5 months.

11 months...DQ in July of 2020 and in early June 2021 we received an interview date of June 23, 2021
