Good Morning, Good Evening , Good afternoon all.
I (petitioner) have submitted 129f for My fianc and her kids and it was approved. February 21st of 2021 she went to have her Interview but pregnant with my child at the moment. The officer asked is she would have the baby born in her country or in the United States. She and I agreed to have the baby born there. Big Mistake, although it was cheaper we are paying for it in time. . Let me explain.
Since the baby was to be born in the Dominican republic (may) she received a 221G letter stating that we need to complete a CRBA for the baby and have it sent over to the embassy. Sounds easy right? well it was not. We had to wait until the baby was born which was May and after he was born it took about 2.5 months to find a open date to book a CRBA appointment. Once we booked the appointment in Santo Domingo and was approved the same day, we still had to wait about another month for all his documentation to be mailed to her house.. Fast forward to October. October 8th is when the embassy received all the requested documents that was listed on the 221g letter she received back in February.
I have checked the two websites to check the current status of her visa. One site is the ustravel docs and the other is the ceac site. the ustravel site has updated to where now it shows "deleivery Status" but its blank. The caec site shows her care was updated October 13; however the status still shows refused. I have called the numbers to contact the "embassy" and they are really useless. Its like they are reading answers off a script and if you ask anything that is not on their script, they gives answers the may or may not work to what your asking. I did some more digging to find out how long the 221g would be completed and on two different sites shows two different time frames. One site say 180 days and the other says 60 days!?
I swear this whole process needs a overhaul! this is stressful. I can only go visit her and my son every 2-3 months. He is growing without me and that is hard! D
I guess my question is; Does anyone have any experience with 221g letters from the Dominican republic and how long did it take to be resolved?
