Consulate Review: Dominican Republic Review Topic: K1 Visa Event Description Review Date : December 18, 2019 Embassy Review : Let me tell you the story of the interview: My fiance arrived this morning to the embassy in Santo Domingo at 6:00am. He said there were between 60-100 people already there waiting. He said that the people were in different groups or lines according to their visa category. Upon entering the embassy, he was #6 in the K1 category. He was called up to speak to a man who took his birth certificate, police report, passport, and medical results envelope. The man asked him a few questions - Why did I not come to the interview with him? (He answered that I had already been to visit him twice this year and I did not have any more vacation days available at my job. And, besides, we had no idea when the interview was going to be when we planned our visits this year.) How long have he and I been together? (He answered 1 year and 5 months.) Have either of us been married before? (He answered that he has never been married before, but that I have.) Do either of us have any children? (He answered no.) He was then given a ticket # 64 and asked to wait in the waiting area. He waited for about an hour and 45 minutes before his number 64 was called. He was called to a window and spoke with a younger lady who he says is from USA. She spoke to him in Spanish. She started asking him questions and he said that she was nice. He said he felt comfortable and that she treated him like a friend. She asked him - How did we meet? (On a chat site) Which website did we meet on? (LatinAmericanCupid.com) What was I looking for? Was I looking for a Dominican? (She found one. Haha) What was he looking for? Was he looking for an American? (No. But we found each other and we have been happy ever since.) Where did we stay when I visited DR? (The most recent time, we stayed in Santo Domingo, in La Vega with family, and in Puerto Plata, where I live.) How many days did I stay in the DR? (In January, she stayed 4 days because her original plan to stay 6 days was changed due to bad weather and canceled flights. In November, she stayed 1 week.) What have I told him about where I live? (She told me that it is a peaceful place. She likes it because it is quiet and her family is nearby.) Did he know that he would be the only dark skinned person around here? (No. Because she has 2 nieces who are mixed, so we will be 3 morenitos.) Then she said the million dollar phrase: Your visa has been approved. Welcome to the United States of America. She said his passport would arrive in 5-10 days. He asked if he could come pick it up earlier and she said no. I was surprised that she didn't ask him for ANY evidence. We prepared a file with everything; divorce documents, affidavit of support, IRS transcripts, pictures, boarding passes, every page of my passport, letter of employment from my job, his receipt for the engagement rings, Christmas cards, etc. She did not ask to see anything. He left the embassy right before 11:00 am. Déjame contarles la historia de la entrevista: Mi novio llegó esta mañana a la embajada en Santo Domingo a las 6:00 a.m. Dijo que había entre 60 y 100 personas esperando allí. Dijo que las personas estaban en diferentes grupos o líneas según su categoría de visa. Al ingresar a la embajada, fue # 6 en la categoría K1. Lo llamaron para hablar con un consul que tomó su acta de nacimiento, reporte de buena conducta, el pasaporte y el sobre de resultados médicos. El hombre le hizo algunas preguntas: ¿por qué no vino tu novia a la entrevista ? (Él respondió que ya lo había visitado dos veces este año y que no tenía más días de vacaciones disponibles en mi trabajo. Además, no teníamos idea de cuándo sería la entrevista cuando planeabamos nuestras visitas .) ¿Cuánto tiempo llevamos juntos él y yo? (Respondió 1 año y 5 meses.) ¿Alguno de nosotros se ha casado ​​antes? (Él respondió que nunca se había casado, pero que yo sí.) ¿Alguno de nosotros tiene hijos? (Respondió que no.) Luego le dieron un boleto # 64 y le dijo que esperara en la sala de espera. Esperó aproximadamente una hora y 45 minutos antes de que llamaran a su número 64. Fue llamado a una ventanilla y habló con una mujer más joven que, según él, es de los Estados Unidos. Ella le hablaba en español. Ella comenzó a hacerle preguntas y él dijo que ella era agradable. Dijo que se sentía cómodo y que ella lo trataba como a un amigo. Ella le preguntó - (Èl contestó) ¿Cómo nos conocimos? (En un sitio de chat) ¿En qué sitio web nos conocimos? (LatinAmericanCupid.com) ¿Qué buscaba yo? ¿Yo buscaba un dominicano? (Encontró uno. Jaja) ¿Qué buscaba él? ¿Buscaba una estadounidense? (No. Pero nos encontramos y somos felices hasta ahora.). ¿Dónde nos quedamos cuando visité DR? (La última vez, nos quedamos en Santo Domingo, en La Vega con mi familia y en Puerto Plata, donde vivo). ¿Cuántos días estuve en la República Dominicana? (En enero, se quedó 4 días porque su plan original de quedarse 6 días cambió porque le retrasaron unos vuelos. En noviembre, se quedó 1 semana). ¿Qué le he dicho sobre dónde vivo? (Ella me dijo que es un lugar tranquilo. Le gusta porque es tranquilo y su familia está cerca). ¿Sabía que sería el único moreno por aquí? (No. Porque ella tiene 2 sobrinas que son indias como yo, así que seremos 3 ). Luego dijo la frase esperada: Su visa ha sido aprobada. Bienvenido a los Estados Unidos de América. Ella dijo que su pasaporte llegaría en 5-10 días. Él le preguntó si podía venir a recogerlo antes y ella dijo que no. Me sorprendió que ella no le pidiera NINGUNA evidencia. Preparamos un archivo con todo; documentos de divorcio, declaración jurada de apoyo, transcripciones del IRS, fotos, tarjetas de embarque, cada página de mi pasaporte, carta de empleo de mi trabajo, su recibo de los anillos de compromiso, tarjetas de Navidad, etc. Ella no pidió ver nada. Salió de la embajada casi a las 11:00. Rating : Very Good

*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.
