Review for Immigrant Visa Interview on Feb 19th 2015.
We were able to schedule our VAC appointments ten (10) days prior to our scheduled Interview at the US Embassy in Santo Domingo.
The process was fairly easy. Once we got to the VAC appointment, which we scheduled it to be one (1) day prior to our Interview. We were asked for:
- US Embassy Interview letter
- DS-260 confirmation page
- VAC appointment confirmation page
They also told us it was advisable to bring two (2) compliant 2x2 pictures for children under the age of 5. As I also was petitioning my stepson (3 yrs old).
Once my husband provided his fingerprints and they took his photo. They gave us both DS-260 confirmation pages stamped with: "Visa Application Center" and that day's date.
Next day we arrived to the US embassy around 08:45 AM, our interview was scheduled for 09:00 AM. We were called to window 6 to give them:
- Stamped DS-260 confirmation page
- Non-Judicial Records paper for my Husband
- Medical results for both my Husband and Stepson.
They also asked the name and relationship of our joint sponsor in the Affidavit of Support, which was one of my uncles. Also they gave us the IMBRA pamphlet.
They called us for the Interview to Window 16, it was a nice young American woman who greeted us very politely. Which actually surprised us!
We were asked in what language we preferred to be interviewed to which I responded, English and my Husband, Spanish. We were sworn in.
To me:
1.How we met?
2.Where did we got married? (She asked for the specific place)
3. If we were planning to make a bigger reception.
4. What was my step-son favorite animal? To which my husband and I responded at the same time and she smiled.
Then she said how cute my stepson was and was asking him to make sounds of different animals all in English. To which he played along nicely.
To my husband:
1. She asked him for his passport, and asked him how many times he had traveled to the US to see me.
2. Does the baby have a non immigrant visa as well? to which we said yes. And how many times he had traveled with my husband to see me. Then she asked for his passport.
3. What was the date of his divorce from his ex-wife?
4. If my husband had full custody of his son.
She did not ask for any pictures or any other evidence at all, even though we had 3 binders ready for them.
Then she said: Well, your visas have been approved! We jumped and kissed.
In total, we spent less than two hours inside the building.

*Notice about estimates: The estimates are based off averages of other members recent experiences
(documented in their timelines) for the same benefit/petition/application at the same filing location.
Individual results may vary as every case is not always 'average'. Past performance does not necessarily
predict future results. The 'as early as date' may change over time based on current reported processing
times from members. There have historically been cases where a benefit/petition/application processing
briefly slows down or stops and this can not be predicted. Use these dates as reference only and do not
rely on them for planning. As always you should check the
USCIS processing times to see if your application
is past due.
