US Immigration from Costa Rica

Hello,

Last week we received the letter from NVC saying that our I129F has been received in the consulate. They've attached a pdf with a series of instructions to complete before scheduling the interview (form DS-140, medical exams, etc..). What we want to know is how long do we have to complete the steps they required to schedule the interview. Is it recommended to complete them in a short period of time like 2 weeks or a month?

Hello,

This questions are for my peeps who filed a K1 in Costa Rica.

We received the U.S Embassy letter with the instructions packet. We have done everything, we paid the fee and filed the DS-160. The next step would be to schedule an appointment for my fiance to get interviewed at the U.S Embassy in Costa Rica and get his medical exams done before the interview.

Now,

1. How do you schedule the appointment? Is the embassy going to schedule that for you? When we try the website https://portal.ustraveldocs.com/?country=Costa Rica&language=Spanish it keeps saying that there are not available appointments, are we doing something wrong?

2. In Costa Rica they use the first name, middle name and the two last names, let's say that my fiance's name is Juan Jos Garc a Gonz lez. That is how it shows in his passport, once we paid the $265 fee at ustraveldocs.com the name required was First Name and Last Name so we wrote Juan Garcia. Is this going to be an issue at the moment of the interview? The receipt says 'Juan Garc a' but I'm scared they are going to be very strict about this.

3. His first passport ever was expiring next July 2024, they are asking for a passport that has more than one year validity so he processed a new passport that will expire in years from now. When we filed the DS-160, we included the old passport's information because the new one would be delivered in a month or so. Do you thinks this is also going to be an issue? We are thinking about presenting both passports at the embassy.

Please, please, please help! Thank you.

Hi everyone!!
I got DQ on August 18th, I wonder how long is it taking nvc to give appointments at the embassy I am
from Costa Rica. Anyone with a similar timeline or who has already gone through this stage? I would appreciate your comments thank you.

Hello,

On June first we received our NOA2 from USCIS saying that our case was approved, 30 days later we sent a NVC inquiry asking if they received our case. However they stated that they haven't received it yet. On August 1th we sent another inquiry asking the same question again and we received two different answers this time.

On August 6 we reveived that our case was under revision

On August 7 we received another answer but this time saying that they dont have a record of receiving our approved pettion from USCIS, and that they will contact them to determine the location of our petition.

As anyone been through the same situation? is this normal or should we be worried about it?

Good morning all! So, do you know if secondary processing always happens on the first entry into the US? My husband arrived in Austin July 25th for his first time on his CR1 Visa. They asked him about fruits plants meat and took his fingerprints. Also asked for our address here in the US. I was under the impression they would then take him to another area for secondary inspection and to "activate" him. But, they just stamped his passport and notated CR1 With 1 year on it and sent him on thru to the international exit. Does anyone have experience not going thru secondary?!?

I'm so confused. Another friend tells me I need to take him back to a POE. I called the customs in San Antonio and the office told me it was nornal, i confirmed that it was his first entry etc etc. But still worried and waiting on his SS card. Yes I did check the box on the application to generate that. Anyhow, any information or experience you might have with this would be much appreciated.
