Update: An inquiry for the K-3 visa was submitted yesterday, and the USCIS agent advised waiting 30-60 days for a response. Unfortunately, I-130 processing times have now increased to 17 months, plus an additional year-long wait for an interview in my husband's country.

Contact the U.S. Embassy in the Dominican Republic Directly – try calling or emailing the embassy's visa section directly, rather than just the support team. Escalate the Issue – Ask to speak with a supervisor or a higher-level officer at the consular section to see if they can resolve the issue more quickly. Submit a Case Inquiry to the Department of State – You can use the Consular Electronic Application Center (CEAC) Inquiry Form or contact the National Visa Center (NVC) if the issue is related to your case status. Reach Out to Your U.S. Senator or Congressperson – They can often intervene with USCIS or the embassy on your behalf. Try a Different Browser or Device – If the issue is technical, switching browsers, clearing cache, or using a different device might help.

It's back again, for some reason it wasn't showing yesterday. Thanks for your replies.

Has anyone else noticed that the Ask Emma button is missing, or is it just me?

Hello everyone, I have a question regarding the interview process for IR1/CR1 visas in Madrid, Spain. My husband plans to study in Spain for a year, and we're currently waiting for our I-130 approval from USCIS, which we expect in the next few months. We're wondering what is the current wait time is for a CR1/IR1 interview in Madrid, Spain? Thank you for your help!

Thanks! Is there any way to know how long the US embassy in Madrid, Spain is taking for interviews once you are documentary qualified I-130? I have been looking for the information online, but, I can't find it.

Hello everyone, I have a question regarding the interview process for IR1/CR1 visas in Madrid, Spain. My husband plans to study in Spain for a year, and we're currently waiting for our I-130 approval from USCIS, which we expect in the next few months. We're wondering if it's possible to transfer the case to the U.S. embassy in Madrid once USCIS approves it, and what the current wait time is for a CR1/IR1 interview there. Thank you for your help!

Hey, We tried to reach out to USCIS regarding the K3, but they said that we have to wait until April to submit an inquiry. Another person with concurrent filling, I130 and K3, sent an inquiry and got the approval for I130 in less than 16.5 months in California SC, that case happened last month.

Thanks!! I just saw it:

Hello VJ members, I hope you are all doing great!! I am a U.S. citizen and submitted an I-130 petition for my husband on March 26, 2024, followed by a K-3 visa request on April 5, 2024. Recently, I noticed that processing times for the I-130 have increased to 16 months, with no apparent efforts to reduce them. Additionally, processing times for K-1, K-2, K-3, and K-4 visas are averaging about 8.5 months, and we have already been waiting for approximately 9 months. I was wondering if it would be possible to submit an inquiry regarding the K-3 visa. While I understand the K-3 visa process is rarely utilized, my intention is to draw attention to our case. Although we are not in an urgent situation, waiting 16 months for the I-130 processing, followed by an additional year in our home country to secure an appointment, feels unreasonable. Again, I know K3 is dead... Thanks in advance, Regards, Renzo C.

I130 and k3 yes

Hello VJ, I hope you're doing well. My partner and I recently submitted our I-130 online on March 26th, 2024, with our service center being in California. Recently, my partner received an email from USCIS indicating that they have taken action on our case. However, upon checking the status, documents, and progress bars, we noticed that nothing has changed. Additionally, we submitted the K3 application one week later after our I-130 application but have not received any updates on that front yet. Interestingly, in a WhatsApp group that we are part of, some individuals who filed their I-130 between March 25th and 27th, 2024, have reported receiving the same email. Regards,

Thanks.

So, essentially, submit it as it is, but make sure to keep a copy in case any situations arise.
