SantoDomingoDQ

Anyone in here get any interview dates recently?

Hey just an update for anyone who is looking for info, we are EB3 and we (the petitioner) reached out to their local congressman's office who reached out to NVC and the Embassy on our behalf. The NVC confirmed that they only approve expedites for life and death situations or the welfare of a child which is helpful for anyone considering that route. The embassy confirmed that for EB3 (our category), they are currently working on cases that DQ''ed in May 2022. We DQ'ed in early Sept 2022 so hopefully that may help some of you get an idea of where they are in their back log. Good luck everyone

We are still waiting since September.

I am DQ September 12ish for an EB3 and still nothing. I realize they dont do a lot of those, but does anyone know how far back they are on the F visas? Good news that the CR1s are that far forward. I am definitely ready to get this interview date

Anyone have any updates from Santo Domingo? I saw some updated CR1 timelines on here with interviews scheduled for Mid May. We just got our 3rd 60 day notice last week so we are over the half year mark.

We are DQ September 13, 2022 for EB3. Just tried an expedite which was denied, still waiting

Can anyone who received the WhatsApp link in this thread please message it to me? For anyone looking for an update we are EB3 DQ September 13, 2022. Still waiting for Interview letter

Is there any thread available for Santo Domingo, DR?

Has anyone heard recently of anyone getting interview dates down there and have info on what types of visa or corresponding DQ dates? I am considering doing an expedite request but want to get a better picture of just how buried this embassy is before I put the effort/money into it.

If anyone has a link to any active WhatsApp or Facebook group can you please share it with me or message it to me?

We are EB3, been DQ since September 13, 2022, still nothing yet. I have been trying to get a link to a WhatsApp or Facebook group where people may be discussing dates, I am curious to see anyone elses dates or how far back some people are still waiting. I want to try to get a guess together for how big their backlog is. They have been processing 4000-5000 immigrant visas per month according to the visa statistics.

Hey I have a case waiting for an interview in Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic. The case is an immigrant visa in the EB3 category. I was Documentarily Qualified on the September 13, 2022 and have been waiting for an interview since then. I was wondering if anyone here has any information on the status of backlogs at the Santo Domingo Embassy, how long anyone else has been waiting for an interview letter, what cases they are prioritizing at that embassy. Really any info about what we should expect in terms of a wait time is greatly appreciated. We are considering switching to another embassy as I have UK citizenship, but I do not want to do that if the average times are 4 - 8 months. If you have any information or experience with this one please share. Thank you.
