Hello, my fiancé is from the DR as well. The passport has been taking long for everyone so it isn’t just a one off thing. The official estimate is 2 weeks but it can be anywhere from 2-5 weeks. Calling won’t do much cause it’s just about them issuing the visa at this point but it’s good to maintain contact at least 1 or 2 times a week just to see if there are any updates. Only thing you can do is check your car daily and see if it updates to Issued

Hello. It’s only been a week so I’m sure you’re fine. Processing usually takes longer than that

I have a Dominican Republic WhatsApp group Link if your case is also in DR? I can pass it to you through PM

Remember to select IMMIGRANT visa not “non immigrant” visa when checking the status. The page only asks you to provide the nvc case number I’ve provided the link below: https://ceac.state.gov/CEACStatTracker/Status.aspx?App=IV

Invoice number is not needed for the k1 process to my knowledge. The only thing you need is the NVC case number. the invoice number is used primarily for spousal visa. Did he say why he was waiting for the invoice number specifically? Maybe there is something i am unaware of

Hello. My embassy is Dominican Republic too . You cannot pay your visa fee if your case is not in the Dominican Republic embassy. It will give you an error message because it is not in their system yet. And you DEFINITELY cannot pay the fee unless you have your NVC case number. You need that number in order to pay the fee (the form will ask you for it) and your case also needs to have been forwarded to the embassy for processing . Wow. I know it can take upwards of 90 days at NVC but in some cases apparently in can go over. Thank you for sharing that

Did you send an inquiry? What did they say

That is not quite right. I don’t think your petition will go on any of those dates. You just got approved and it takes 30 days just for nvc to receive your case ( sometimes even longer) , then they will enter it into their system and assign a case number. Once you have that case number assigned, then you can begin to look at that calendar and figure out when it may be shipped next

It takes longer than a month to receive your interview. It goes by DQ date and They are currently working on cases DQed in October 2022. So that would put you at 2-3 additional months

It is not only to update your information. If you click the link you will see that there are many options

For Dominican Republic, it should be about a day or so and you’ll see that your status will update to Ready Thank you! I’m going to include this in the next NOA2 thread

Thanks for sharing this. I’ll include it going forward

Sure thing. Check your inbox 🙂

In any case, they are sent every two weeks on Tuesdays and Wednesdays, so if anyone has an accurate shipping chart, please feel free to share it below!

Nvc can give conflicting information regarding next steps for DR so I would take what they say with a grain of salt. But Jamie is right, the embassy requests cases every two weeks on Tuesday and Wednesday and you should be on the lookout those days to see if your case is in the next batch that gets sent. And no, the embassy will not send you any correspondence regarding any next steps. When your case is sent to the embassy, NVC will email you something called a Welcome Letter. It has loose instructions of what your next steps will be. It’s not complete by any means
