US Immigration from Dominican Republic

Hey all

Long time member but mainly lurker.

My fianc and I are debating between cr1 and k1.

I have reviewed the info on pros and cons and pricing.

Was hoping to get some good feedback specific to those who have used the Dominican Republic Embassy and and timelines.

I tried reviewing the timeline feature here but not much info on this specific country.

We ve been together 5 years and I see him a few times a year so we qualify for either. Really looking for the quickest option so we can FINALLY be together

Thanks for all the great advice

I'm petitioning my mother IR5, she just got the enail with interview date but it doesn't have any attachment, so we don't have a letter.

Do they send a letter or just that email?

I posted this in response to someone in another thread but I wanted to post it here for my friends filing in the RD to see...

Long time lurker, first time poster. We had our interview in Santo Domingo on Apr 27th.

I was present with my beneficiary for the interview, there was no issue with both of us entering the building. In fact, the majority of the people in for interviews that day had both the petitioner and beneficiary present. I think it was a benefit for both of us to be there as the interviewer asked us both questions about each other, each others family, how we communicate, how we met etc. The whole process from waiting in line to enter the building, handing in our documents and having our interview took a total of about an hour.

During our interview the only additional information I was asked for was additional pictures, which I provided 8-10, the woman looked over them and then gave them back to us. The interviewer was very nice and was easy to talk to. Our case was very tight from the beginning and we had loads of extra documents and evidence so our experience was quick and easy. My fiance was nervous but I was not. The process was actually much easier than I expected.

At the end of the interview the woman interviewing us told us the visa was approved. On Monday of this week, my fiance picked up her visa and sealed information packet from the Gazcue center without issue.

Any body got scheduled this days from Manhattan field office? Though Brooklyn, Queens are different field office. Thank you in advance.

This post is for N-400 April 2021 fillers, so we can keep track on our timelines. I submitted mine online yesterday 4/30, received the notice that they are reusing my biometrics, I guess that speed up my time little bit. Good look to everyone.
