Yesterday was our interview at the embassy at the Dominican Republic at 8:00am. We got to the embassy at around 6:00am and it was already packed. We brought our 1 year old son with us and got sent to a line for people with kids and got a chance to enter the embassy much sooner than expected. we got number 29 and waited for about 20 minutes for our number to be called. The first time they called us the person only requested my wifes paperwork (police cert, marriage cert and medical exam), baby's birth certificate and naturalization certificate and gave me back a packet that was label additional documents, and told me those were everything i had sent NVC that was not needed. He then advised us to sit down and wait to be called again. After about 40 minutes of wait after that, we were called again, this time it was the official. She was a very nice lady and smiled all the way. She looked at the papers and everything was in order, didnt ask a single question eiher to me or to my wife and joked that we were about 1 out of 2 couples that were migrating to florida as everyone here in the DR usually go to new york,after writing something in the computer she then looked at the AOS and asked me if i had another sponsor besides me because my income wasnt enough i told her i did and that i had sent the sponsors i864 packet to nvc as well. It turns out they never got it and they were only showing me. She asked if i had a copy with me and out of all the information that i did have, that i didnt. it was frustrating, she gave my wife a white papre for her to mail in the packet and that she would hear from them as soon as they recieved the i864 from my sponsor. I asked if i could bring it myself to the embassy instead of mailing it and she told me i could. She gave me a embassy access pass to come back anytime until the 15th and to go to a specific window to hand everything in. I left very frustrated and when i got to my car and checked my phone (no phones allowed in embassy) i had recieved the full packet by carrier and was waiting for me to go pick it up... we were able to get it from the postal office and drive back to the embassy in about an hour. We went back to the embassy and once we entered i was able to go to the nice lady again, she looked at everything and said ok your vsa will be issued today and it will be delivered to the locaton you preselected. Checked ceac status yesterday and said administrative processing. Today i checked again and now it says issued!!!! |

*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.
