Yes, the wait is very frustrating. My fiancée got her visa after 18 months of waiting.
Apparently the consulate is working on a new and improved building with better equipment and even more employees.
But the long wait is not entirely the fault of the US Embassy. You have to consider that the MAJORITY of the visa applicants are MORONS who in most cases have never even left the country, never traveled and grew up in one of the most disorganized societies I have ever seen. Trust me, I grew up in the Dominican Republic. I love the country, not so much the turmoil. Noticed I said MAJORITY, not everybody
That is why I'm writing this, to help you be well informed.
The consulate papers arrive about 1 week after the interview date appears on their list. http://www.usemb.gov.do/Consular/scheduled_appointments.htm

I have had much experience w the consulate in santo domingo. A k-1 visa in 2002, a replaced passport in 2003, a k-1 visa application in 2004 (on which I did not follow through.) I am now doing a k-1 visa. So I have an idea of how service has deteriorated over the past few years. The 1st visa was processed from beginning to end in 4 months (my fiance returned.) The second one in 2004 was 9 months from petition to interview (fiance had child custody dispute w ex, abandoned process), now it is a prospective 1-2 year wait.
Actual service in the consulate, well its like the dmv from hell. Take a number, get in line, find out you were told to get in the wrong line, sit down until we call for you ect, ect...
staff are generally pleasant, but the process is designed to frustrate

This is my only experience with the immigration process. My husband's K3/4 petition has been sitting in Santo Domingo since August 12, 2005. An acquaintance of ours, who lives there, received an appointment for a visitor's visa interview within one week of his phone call and received his visa. This happened last week. I don't think it makes sense to put the K1 and K3 category in line with all others since this is suppposed to be an expedited process. It's frustrating. My husband is up to number 14,000+.
