A ESep 12, 2022
Hopefully we can hear soon from them, the DR embassy has a lot of days availables for the K-1 interviews
Miss to Mrs.Sep 12, 2022
i hope so too. we are so ready
Miss to Mrs.Sep 12, 2022
Are you familiar with how they notify the beneficiary ? because from my understanding, they don't have mailboxes how we have here in the US. or at least my fiancé doesn't. im a little concerned with how will theu be informed on what to do
A ESep 12, 2022
The Petioner will get the Welcome letter with the case and invoice # via mail or email, once we receive the letter we can start uploading the necessary documents and nvc has an option to add multiple emails that way when they send a notification about the case the Petioner and Beneficiary will get it.
Miss to Mrs.Sep 12, 2022
thank you so much for clarifying
A ESep 12, 2022
You're welcome

hey - yes you’ll get correspondence totally by email. As of yet, haven’t received any postal mail from NVC like I did with UCIS but email 100%. my husband also doesn’t have a mailbox so we’re just doing it all through email. we’re waiting for an interview now and got “documentarily qualified” Aug 18th. it’s about 90 days after you are “DQ” status until you get a CR/IR interview in Santo Domingo if the petitioner is a US Citizen. hope this helps!
A EOct 9, 2022
I received the email from the Santo Domingo Embassy saying that the case is ready to schedule a interview
Marissa LPOct 9, 2022
awesome ! that’s for a K visa? how long did your case take from I130 submission to interview ?
A EOct 9, 2022
Yes, K1 We submitted the form on April of last year, we received an RFE at the beginning of June then we sent everything in July and got approved whiting 2 weeks and at the end of September we received a case number and the okay to schedule the interview but we haven't schedule the interview in DR yet, I believe we need to wait for the embassy to do it, is not like other countries that ppl are able to schedule the interview for the K1
Miss to Mrs.Oct 14, 2022
thank you, it Feels like it has been such a long process. Do you know if at the interview is when you get approved or not? Like how long after the interview can your fiancé come to United States
A EOct 14, 2022
The approval will be at the interview and then the person needs to wait a few days for the passport
Marissa LPOct 14, 2022
yes that’s what I understand which means I will have to come back for my husband because we also won’t sell anything or make plans for the US until we officially know he’s able to live with me 😍😍
Miss to Mrs.Oct 15, 2022
@Marissa LP My understanding is that your process is different because you're already married? If so, congratulations!!!!
Miss to Mrs.Nov 17, 2022
@ A E How many days after you're N0A2 Did you hear from NVC
A ENov 17, 2022
@Mrs Dominicana it took a little over 2 months, you still haven't heard from them?
Miss to Mrs.Nov 18, 2022
@ A E no i have not. its been 2 months and one week to be exact. hopefully soon we will hear something. how long after you heard from NVC were you able to schedule the interview. thank you so much for taking the time to respond
A ENov 18, 2022
@Mrs Dominicana it took less than a week for the case to be ready to schedule the interview, before scheduling the interview the DS-160 needs to be filled and paid and once they review the DS-160 you can start scheduling the appointment for Galeria 360 Biometrics first and then for the embassy
Miss to Mrs.Nov 18, 2022
@ AE ok thank you so much I hope everything goes well for you and your fiancw
A ENov 18, 2022
@Mrs Dominicana, Thank you!! the interview is tomorrow 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻, if there anything that I can help you with let me know
Miss to Mrs.Nov 18, 2022
@A E praying that everything goes in your favor. let us know how it goes
A ENov 18, 2022
@Mrs Dominicana thank you so much, I'll let you know 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
Yasmin ReyesNov 18, 2022
How long does it take for the welcome letter to arrive or any form of communication? ds160 was done and submitted, I can't pay for it or set up the fiancée visa interview.
A ENov 18, 2022
@Yasmin Reyes fo you have the DS160 confirmation?
Yasmin ReyesNov 18, 2022
@A E Yes he has a confirmation number it starts with AA
A ENov 18, 2022
@Yasmin Reyes, how about the Case Number? is he in DR?
A ENov 18, 2022
Mrs Dominicana visas was approved 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
Yasmin ReyesNov 18, 2022
A E Yes he's in DR. What do you mean by case number? he has a USCIS #
A ENov 18, 2022
@Yasmin Reyes you need the Case number that starts with SDO (that's the Welcome letter from NVC) you'll get it by email. You can not start the DS-160 or the application for the visa without the SDO case number
Yasmin ReyesNov 18, 2022
@A E How long does that take? I'm so great full for your help.
A ENov 18, 2022
@Yasmin Reyes every case it's different but for us it took a little over 2 months to get the case number, once the you get the case number it will say that it's in transit to the consulado and then it will say that the case is ready you will get an email to start the process. If you need more help with the process I can help you
Yasmin ReyesNov 18, 2022
A E thank you so much
A ENov 18, 2022
@Yasmin Reyes when was your case approved?
Miss to Mrs.Nov 18, 2022
@AE congratulations im so happy for you! thats awesome! hopefully your fiance will be here by Christmas If you celebrate. i'm so excited for you guys.
A ENov 18, 2022
@Mrs Dominicana It all depends on the USCIS office, in what state are you?
A ENov 18, 2022
@Mrs Dominicana the green card process is taking over a year even for ppl that are renewing it
A ENov 18, 2022
@Mrs Dominicana what type of visa it is? K1?
Miss to Mrs.Nov 18, 2022
@ AE yes the k1
A ENov 19, 2022
@Mrs Dominicana, you will need to push it back once your fiance enters the US you guys will need to get marry here and start AOS process right away, hopefully USCIS can start speeding up the process soon
Yasmin ReyesNov 19, 2022
after they have the AOS and all the necessary things, when can they travel back to DR? I really want to have ca church wedding there
A ENov 19, 2022
Once the conditional Green Card is issued
Miss to Mrs.Nov 19, 2022
@ AE thank you sharing everything you know
Miss to Mrs.Nov 19, 2022
@ yasminreyes You can apply for a parole To travel outside the United States before you get the green card but from what I read it's best not too even if you get approved for the parole. The parole from my understanding is permission to leave the United States while your case is processing however, you don't ever want to jeopardize your case. I assume often times people will apply for the parole in emergency cases to leave, however I don't think this particular document is processed quickly either
Yasmin ReyesNov 19, 2022
A E THANK YOU YOU SO MUCH
Miss to Mrs.Nov 24, 2022
help please! i finally heard from NVC. we filled out the ds-160. can you please tell me the next step? I read through our feed that we pay and schedule appointments. how do we do that? where do we pay? thank you so much for helping us
A ENov 26, 2022
Hi @Mrs Dominicana, you'll need to go to https://www.ustraveldocs.com/do/ create an account and start applying filling out the form and pay for the visa, make sure to add your email instead of your fiance email. Make sure have all of the information that they ask for and also if he doesn't have a record of the regular vaccines, make sure he gets them that way he doesn't have to pay extra at the time of the medical exam, he'll need to take record of the covid and record of the others vaccines.
kmbr lllNov 27, 2022
@ Mrs Dominicana
what do you do once your file has arrived in NVC?
what are the steps?
Miss to Mrs.Nov 28, 2022
@ A E my nvc email did not have an invoice number and when i went to traveldocs.com it asked if i heard from the embassy and i have not. was an invoice number included in your email from nvc or was that from the embassy email?
A ENov 28, 2022
@Mrs Dominicana, you don't need an invoice number only the case number that starts with SDO
Miss to Mrs.Nov 28, 2022
@ kmbr ll i think i have to wait for the embassy email. my nvc email gave no instruction. it only had a case number and said it was transferring to the embassy and to wait for the embassy email. that was literally it
Miss to Mrs.Nov 28, 2022
@A E thank you so much i will try again tonight. you have no idea how much i appreciate your help. thank you sooooo much
A ENov 28, 2022
@Mrs Dominicana did you tracked the case to see if is at the consulado?
Miss to Mrs.Nov 28, 2022
@A E when i try, it says no status
Miss to Mrs.Nov 28, 2022
and when i go to ceav.state.gov it asks for the invoice number
A ENov 28, 2022
When did you received your Case number? there is no Invoice Number for K1 Visas only the case number
Miss to Mrs.Nov 28, 2022
on Tuesday
Miss to Mrs.Nov 28, 2022
Do you have the link to the website where you track,
A ENov 28, 2022
A ENov 28, 2022
I believe is this one, you should be hearing from them hopefully by next week
Miss to Mrs.Nov 28, 2022
when i enter my case number in the link above it days that it is ready
Miss to Mrs.Nov 28, 2022
i was able to pay but when was trying to schdule an appointment for the interview, it said your request has been received and will be reviewed. You will receive an email went to request is approved. Thank you so much for helping me.
A ENov 28, 2022
Do you have the DS-160 confirmation #? they need to review the form and then they will tell you when you can schedule the biometric and the interview
Miss to Mrs.Nov 28, 2022
yes i do have that confirmation number for ds 160. Do you know when we have to fill out form I – 134
A ENov 28, 2022
When I scheduled the interviews they didn't asked for the I-134 only the I-864 and that's the one that my fiance took to the interview
A ENov 28, 2022
once you schedule the biometric and the interview they will tell you what to bring to the interview, just make sure you have everything including pictures, the police paper, birth certificate ect.. everything needs to be translated to English
A ENov 28, 2022
ohh and the passport style pictures at least 4
Miss to Mrs.Nov 28, 2022
thank you sooo much!!!
Miss to Mrs.Nov 28, 2022
i hope your fiance is here with you now
A ENov 28, 2022

Miss to Mrs.Nov 28, 2022
congratulations!!!!!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️
A ENov 28, 2022
Thank you 🤗🤗🤗 if there's anything else that you need help with, let me know
Miss to Mrs.Nov 28, 2022
thank you so much
Yasmin ReyesNov 28, 2022
AE hello again. I'm not sure why I'm not able to pay the fee I have the case number but not the welcome letter from nvc or the embassy.
A ENov 28, 2022
Hi Yasmin, did you received the case number through email?
Miss to Mrs.Nov 28, 2022
@ A E where did your fiance get his birth certificate and police paper translated?
A ENov 28, 2022
For his birth certificate he needs to go to the Junta Central Electoral and for buena conducta paper he can get it online at https://pgr.gob.do/
Miss to Mrs.Nov 28, 2022
thank you so much
Yasmin ReyesNov 28, 2022
The case number that starts with AA. nvc case status says no status
A ENov 28, 2022
That's not a case number that is the confirmation for the DS-160, The case number should start with SDO and they send it through email
Yasmin ReyesNov 28, 2022
it says to go to the embassy website but no status
Yasmin ReyesNov 28, 2022
on the cgi portal ican see to make the payment of 265.00 but I don't know how to pay or set up the appointment.
A ENov 28, 2022
@Yasmin Reyes did you received the case number (welcome letter) from the embassy?
Yasmin ReyesNov 28, 2022
@AE. No not yet. Is it an email or a physical letter in the mail?
A ENov 28, 2022
@Yasmin Reyes you can not pay or fill out the DS-160 until you receive the case number from NVC, once you receive the case number you can track it down, and then you will need to wait for them to tell you that you can start applying for the visa, start then form DS-160 form. pay for the visa once you do that they will review your application and tell you that you start scheduling the biometric and interview appointment.
Yasmin ReyesNov 28, 2022
@AE The DS-160 and all other paperwork are done and filled I did receive an AA number that's all. ok. thanks
A ENov 28, 2022
You can not fill out the DS-160 until you receive the DS-160, Your case is a K1 correct?
Yasmin ReyesNov 28, 2022
AE yes
A ENov 28, 2022
Once you receive your welcome letter through email, you can start the DS-160 form and apply for the visa at https://www.ustraveldocs.com/do/ creating an account and enter the the DS-160 confirmation number and follow all of the steps. As I mentioned before you can not fill out the DS-160 until you receive the Welcome letter from NVC. When was your case approved?
