Consulate Review: Dominican Republic Review Topic: K1 Visa Event Description Review Date : October 22, 2011 Embassy Review : Arrived around 545 am to find about 50 people in line. We were moved to the front of the line because we had our 5 month old son with us. Upon entering we moved through security quickly and took a seat. Within 15 minutes of sitting (around 715 am) we were called to window 22 where we gave the agent all of our documents (she did NOT ask us for the affidavit of support). She instructed us to go to the cashier to pay the $210. There was a sign on the cashier's window that stated it would open at 730 am. Around 820 am the cashier finally opened and we paid (he was definitely on Dominican time). After giving the receipt to the agent we waited approximately 10 minutes and were called to the fingerprints window. The longest wait was for the actual interview. When were called to window 24 and were asked 2 questions: when I separated from my first husband and why don't we get married in DR. Shortly there after we were approved. Made out of the consulate by 930 am. Rating : 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.
