US Immigration from Dominican Republic

I had my interview a few weeks ago and my case is Refused while we wait for the additional TB screening results they are requiring my fianc to do to be ready ( 8 to 9 weeks ).

My question is has anyone been through this screening and waited any longer than the estimated 8 to 9 weeks or is that estimate a pretty solid estimate?

I submitted my 129f in April 2020. Recieved NOA1 in May 2020. In Jan 2021 I recieved an RFE. USCIS acknowledged my reply in Jan 2021. I have not received anything else and online just says evidence recieved. I called USCIS and they just tell me an officer will call me but no one ever does. Based on other timelines I should have recieved something by now. Any suggestions on what I can do next? Should I just withdraw and do a cr1?

I just received my Noa2 in the mail and noticed they misspelled my last name. I filled out the change form online however now I'm worried that it could be wrong at NVC. Will the updated spelling be transferred to the NVC? Or do I need to do something separate to notify them? So upsetting

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?

My fiance and I are currently going through k1 visa process. In one of the other threads I saw someone mention that they needed to have the birth certificate translated to English. Any idea of where this can be done in Santo Domingo? Also my fiance is telling me that when you get copies of your birth certificate, there is an expiration date. Anyone ever heard of this?
