I just applied for a K1 in February for my fiancee in the DR, has ANYONE had a positive experience or timely processing?

I submitted my K-1 mid-September 2007. It was approved mid-January. Our interview is scheduled for April 7. I didn't get any NFEs, so from start to finish it looks like you can expect between 6-7 months, although I've heard that the California service center is a little longer by a few weeks. This seems consistent with others who have recently done the K-1 visa for a Dominican beneficiary.

Thanks Natroy, that is the first positive news I have heard

You will be fine, just remember to save your documents as well as originals for the interview.

Thank you YMR, do you know if I have to obtain original tax return copies from the IRS? My accountant filed electronically for me, and all of my copies have the image "CLIENT COPY" diagonally across them

Hello
I filed in Feb 08. My application has been approved within 30 days. My file is now being sent to the Embassy- Santo Domingo. It has been 2weeks. I am waiting for my Packet 3. But, I will inform you when I receive my packet 3. So, you can get a better idea about the processing time. God Bless.

Thank you sir, I appreciate the positive input, Vermont Center seems to be on the ball, maybe those who have waited so long have had errors in the paperwork, I paid a company to ensure accuracy, I'll keep my fingers crossed and hope the California center is as efficient

Wow! That is super fast! How did that happen? I sure hope mine goes that smooth... I'm going for a spouse visa, though. Those are some good news. Hey, even if it took DOUBLE what yours took, I'd be happy!

Those are original tax returns for electronic filers. But if you really wanted copies of your returns from the IRS, it would cost about $40 or 50 for each year. Check http://www.irs.gov

I though so, too. However, I received my case number. I called the NVC on April 17th. They have my file but it has not been sent to the embassy yet. I heard it takes 6-8weeks to be send to the Embassy fafter receiving your noa2.

Well, I received a reply email the other day which stated from the NVC that my file was being sent to the Embassy. Then, I went to see if my case number would appear on May appointments website. So, I am praying for a June or July appointment. I would love to have a summer wedding date. My family and I have already started planning for the big day.

That is absolutely fine, you don't have to get anything from the IRS. I just used copies of my actual return that I had made when I filed.






There is no packet 3 in the DR. You will get a packet for the interview approximately 1 month prior to your interview.

So, when do you pay the visa application fee. Also when do you send the affid. of support info. In the packet, what do I received compare to what does my fiance receive. Did you call for the interview date or did you wait for the packet. I am debating whether to call or not. Thank you so much for the info.

I have finally recieved my cita on Aug. 4. I am so excited!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Is there any one else who has a August cita? Let Me know.

Hey I just decided to file for a K-1 visa we just began to get all the stuff together and I was told it would take more than a year how has this been going for everyone? From what I read the person that told me that just wanted me to get mad and move to DR loL! I'm really hoping things for my go as well as they have been going for some of you! and of course that yours continue to go just as smoothly!!
