OMG!! I finally got my NOA2!!!!!! Hard Copy received on June 13,2009
Received hard copy of NVC notification- June 18, 2009.
Called consul to confirm they received my petition... and $7 later they told me they it's been entered into the system and pending an appointment.
Medical exam- completed 8-24-09- fiance got there at 7am and didn't leave until 6pm. You will be tired, hungry, hot, and thirsty... but hang in there! Received medical exam results 8-31-09- my advice is DO NOT go there at 1 the line will be ridiculous go at 2pm- the line literally goes away. We made the mistake and went at 1 and didn't leave until 2pm. You have until 2:30 to pick it up.
Estimated Domex delivery time: 1-2 weeks |

touched: june 11, 2010, july 10, july 13,july 14- rfe for i-693 medical form.... which i sent with my application in a sealed envelope certified by a approved civil surgeon and also sent the vaccination supplement form also!!! Soooo mad right now. They either lost it, which doesn't surprise me or they don't know what the hell they are doing, which also doesn't surprise me! I had copies of the medical exam and vaccination supplement form because copies of everything is a MUST.. civil surgeon wants 40 dollars more to put the papers back into a sealed envelope!
Sent a second i-693 medical report to replace the one they lost on 7-21-10.
8-2-10- USCIS received RFE
8-4-10 - Second RFE from USCIS- apparently they lost the original full medical exam completed in the Dominican Republic and want a new full medical exam- At least they agreed to pay for a new one since it's not our fault they can't keep track of anything!!
9-8-10- sent the second full medical exam to those wonderful people at USCIS.(Is it over yet??)
9-15-10- card ordered- it's about time... what a nightmare. |

Consulate Review: Dominican Republic

| Embassy Review : |
We arrived at the consul at 5:30am and the line was absolutely insane! We didn't get into the actual building until maybe 8:00am. DO NOT listen to the people outside telling you that you need your photos and forms stapled or trying to sell you services. They do not work for the consul and there is no need for the forms or photos to be stapled. Whatever need to be done the consul will do for you. I was told by an employee of the embassy that they are just annoying people trying to make a buck. The employees wear yellow polo shirts. Once we got inside the embassy it was hot, humid and extremely crowded with sweaty people with no where to sit since all the benches were full. There are a lot of fans but did absolutely nothing with the amount of people there. We were called to the first window and I gave our forms- I was told the I-134 was not needed and it was returned to me. Apparently the birth certificate wasn't in the extensa format. Even though we were told by the person who gave it to us that it was, but since it was legalized they didn't care. The guy asked me a few questions such as were I was from and where I was born and how I communicate with my fiance since my Spanish isn't very good. Second time called for fingerprints. Third was the interview we got a young American girl. She swore us both in and began questioning. She had my fiance write my name on swearing in form and told me not to help him in the spelling. She asked most of the questions to me and a couple to my fiance. All the questions were from my petition and maybe one from the new forms I gave them. She explained she that she read the supplemental essay about how we met etc. She first asked me when we met? How old am I? How old is he? Why did you decide to get married? When did you parents meet him and how do they feel about it? Are you sure about your choice to get married? Where is he working? Are you still in school and when did you finish? Then she asked him questions in Spanish. Have you ever been in trouble with the police? Have you ever been the US? Have you ever applied for a resident visa before? Have you ever applied for a visitor visa? Have you ever traveled outside of your country? Congratulations you have been approved!!!!!! She didn't ask for anything! I had brought a huge folder with telephone bills,western union receipts, bank statements etc. But I'm assuming that applied to our case because there were people that needed to show a bunch of stuff and another couple that was told to wait for a second interview!! We left around 12:30 after paying Domex. The approval line was soooo long so I guess it was a good day for everyone! |

*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.
