US Immigration from Dominican Republic

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.

Hi,

I know we have been waiting for so long for an approval, but anyone else freaking out about the possibility that it will actually be a reality (maybe soon)?

I have been in a long distance relationship for a while now and the thought of actually closing the gap can be daunting.

We haven't actually spent more than a few weeks together, in vacation mode basically. What if we don't live well together? What if we argue a lot? What if I find things about my partner that I never knew about/didn't expect?....

Like most things, you want something so bad and for so long when you actually get it, your like what now?

Idk, just my anxious thoughts.

My mom s lawyer submitted I-485 & I-601 concurrently in August. She got an RFE recently asking for evidence of lawful admission, such as I-94. She obviously doesn t have her I-94 since she entered the US illegally, which is why her lawyer filled I-601. Does anyone know why they are still asking for the I-94 when she submitted the I-601?

We have spoken to her lawyer, I just wanted to see if someone who has gone through this knows the answer.

as explained i woukd have the inteview on DR at the end of OCT 2023

Short story my daughter fill her self online was acepted as the automatic system or the office ask what steps do next case was aprved i have the interview abroad im on USA

I applied for green card with my wife before apr 30 2001 with the 245i reform 485 biometrics work permit etc we cannt never make it to first interview never receive the second or was lost during that time we separete still married dont know where is she at present day

was here before dec 2001 as the reform asked

Well it never show of in my daughter filling she never tried to add it thinking the office or system will ask for any other proof

Im getting crazy because a lawyer that i call to ask about it he mentioned to me dont go to DR because you would be denied and wont come back

If this ia true what option do we have due to the short of time please

NVC sends petitions to the embassy every two weeks on Tuesdays and Wednesdays. A FB group has created a shipping chart for 2023 that you can use to track when the next shipment date will be. It seems to line up with all the dates I ve seen so far so I think it s accurate and will include it below.
