ohmy.gif So hey everyone its been a long time since I have been on....but here is a little information and update since I was last on...

June 9th approved by CSC.....and recieved notice shortly after

June 16th got notice from NVC of the packet being sent to embassy...[size="4"]but they sent it to the wrong one......it went to Haiti when it should have gone to Dominican Republic!

June 18 contacted NVC to see what I needed to do to have in sent to the correct embassy in Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic...and NVC gave me phone numbers for the embassy in Dominican Republic and Haiti and told me that I have to contact those embassys to have them transfer our case.

June 19th contacted the US embassy in Santo Domingo and they said I needed to call back the next day.

June 20th called US embassy in Santo Domingo and spoke with someone in the Immigrant Visa Unit and told them our sittuation and she told me to fax over a letter requesting them to transfer the case from Haiti to them and a copy of my fiances resdient card....I DID IT RIGHT AWAY! Later that day they got my fax and the same lady said she would call Haiti to request the transfer and asked for my fiances contact information and told me that the embassy would contact him when they recieve the case from Haiti and are sending the interview notice to him!

So this week I decided to have my fiancee follow up with both embassys since its been 3 weeks and we have heard nothing. He was not able to get much information....expcept that Haiti said to fax them a request to transfer the case...he did!

July 4th I contacted the embassy in Haiti to see if they have our case! THEY HAVE IT.....BUT.....said they cant transfer it unless they recieve the paper from USCIS to transfer.....I-824....

WHAT DO I DO? I AM GOING CRAZY! It says on the USCIS website the time line for that paper is 4 to 6 months.....I CANT WAIT FOR THE LOVE OF MY LIFE ANOTHER YEAR.....its almost been a year since we have been together.....being we where waiting for our interview....but now if we have to file the I-824 we will be back in USCIS.......NO NO NO....waiting again!

ANY ONE CAN YOU OFFER SOME SUGGESTIONS???

I have no idea what an I-824 is, sorry. This has happened in Canada a few times, where it's gone to one Consulate instead of the right one. A phone call or email has had them just transfer it to the right one. That however is in the same country. Hmmm, have you confirmed with Haiti that they have a copy of his resident card? They should be able to see on the petition that he's living in the Dominican, so to keep it until they get this other form, whatever the heck that is, is bizarre! I'd be looking at calling your congressman/woman/senator immediately! Another option may be to contact NVC and ask them to contact Haiti, since it was them that sent the package to the wrong place!

Hope you get this straightened out soon! Best of luck! rose.gif

I would post this same message on www.dominicanstotheusa.com some people might give you more information on what to do. I believe some agent of embassy blog on that website. They might even be able to help you directly. good.gif
