HI All,

Happy Friday!  I hope I am posting in the correct forum, if not, can someone please direct me to the correct one?

 

We filed the original I 130 docs for my step children on August 12th 2019, all was approved and sent to NVC.  We then of course went through that process with the I864s and all docs were approved but we have been waiting for an interview for them since 2020 in Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic.   We are now beginning to think that we have been forgotten or our paperwork is laying on a desk somewhere since many people who were approved years after my step children were approved at NVC are already here with their famillies in the US yet my stepchildren havent even had their interviews!  We  have messaged the NVC multiple times and always get the same automated message stating that they are in process and waiting for their interview date.  Does anyone have any insight on this?  This is seems liike an excessive wait and they have had all docs approved with the NVC since 2020 yet still no interviews.  

 

I'd so appreciate any help, guidance or insight you may have.  Thanks all.😊

In summary, it took 13 months for approval of the CR-1.  It took 44 months for approval of the I-751.  It took 4 months for approval of the N-400.   It took 172 days from N-400 application to Oath Ceremony.   It took 6 weeks for Passport, then 7 additional weeks for return of wife's Naturalization Certificate..

I believe it was F2B.  It was so long ago that we even applied!🤔 But Im pretty sure it was F2B.  My husband is a LPR and he is the petitioner for them.  Thank you for your help!!

Here is the October 2023 Visa Bulletin data.  As you can see, their F2B priority dates are not yet current.  Even F2A category would not be current yet.  Unfortunately, there is no provision for expediting visa number availability.
