First of all the staff there is super friendly, and helpful
My interview was March 7th 2024. I got there really early but they don’t let anyone in more than 30 minutes before the interview.
The officer that we got was very focused not nice or mad he looked at my paperwork and asked if this was a second marriage for any of us, i told him that this was my second marriage and he asked if i had petitioned my first wife i siad yes and then he asked if she had been approved or denied, i answered she was denied but i didnt remember the reason (it as in 2014) this made him very upset and siad if it was due to fraud, i siad no and then he was visibly upset and started asking questions first together then separated. He siad he needed alot more evidence than normal because he already doubted anything i siad. I was absolutely scared to say the least
We handed in photos, wedding album, money transfers, flight confirmation, whatsapp chats, doctors note (i went to a urologist to get checked because we want to have kids), and a bank book (with withdrawls and deposits) it was a total of about 50 pages of stuff
Questions:
How did we meet?
When we met im person for the first time?
When did we get married?
Then he separated us and asked these same questioms
Who picked up your husband at the airport?
Why did your father need to take a friend to pick u up?
Does your spouse have any tattoos or any birthmarks?
How long does he stay when he comes visit you?
When was the last time you were intimate? (yes he actually asked this)
What are your spouses siblings names?
After that he really calmed down and said “Listen, to me your marriage is real, but due to the fact the first marriage was deemed fraud (this shocked me) im gonna need more evidence” And handed me a 221g
He kept my wife's passport and said im gonna keep this please upload these specific evidence (we did the same day)
I uploaded them the same day but didn't finalize it until a week later (i realized this late)
Two days after this my case went from refused to Ready the same day after that it went to AP, and today it Finally siad ISSUED!!
All i can say is please honest if your marrige is really everything will go smoothly the interview is very quick and to the point, also to much evidence doesn't exist lol

Interview was smooth and officer was pleasant. Make sure you have all your documents ready the day of the interview ( Medical Exam, Birth Certificate, Police clearance, DS-160 confirmation, appointment letter, passport , passport copy and ID) and the process should go smoothly. If they take your passport at the finish of the interview, your approved!

Everything went super fast. We arrived at 06:30, and left at 07:40. Have your appointment confirmation and passport in hand. Then we went through a checking point. You only have to take off your belt and watches.
When we went to the pre-consul, he asked for the acta de nacimiento inextensa, passport, papel de buena conducta and the medical exams. He asked my fiancé if he had been married, and if we have children in common. He asked for his phone number, and then mine and the email. That was all there.
Then we were sent to wait from the windows 19 to 30. We got window 20. The gentleman was SUPER KIND, and these were the questions:
To my fiancé (petitioner).
•What city are you from?
•If he had ever been married
•If we had any children in common
•Where do you work?
To me (beneficiary)
•If I have ever been in trouble with the law
•If I have traveled to another country, and where did I stay the longest?
•How did we meet?
•When was my fiancé’s last time in the DR?
That was IT ? None documents were asked.

My fiancé had his medical appointment on 12/21/2023 at Servicios Médicos Consulares. It was a mess and they were very unorganized. They had him going from window to window to do different portions of the exam. He wasn’t required by the physician to do a psychological exam but the facility makes them go through each portion anyway. When it was his turn to see the psychologist, she said she was leaving for the day and she’d call him the next day. She never did. The doctor also told him he could pick up his results the following Friday. We traveled all the way to Santo Domingo just for them to tell us they wouldn’t be ready until Tuesday. We went back and all they gave us was his official vaccination form. This was a problem when we got to our interview.
**INTERVIEW 1/5/2024**
We had our appointment at 7 am. We stayed at a hotel overnight that was a 3 minute walk to the embassy. It was called dormitorio mi casona. The owners were amazing and treated us like family. Arrived at the embassy around 6:30. There are two lines. One for visitor visas and the other for immigrant visas. We got in the immigrant visa line. Around 6:45 they came out and started checking everyone in. We had to get out our appointment letter, his passport, my passport, and the stamped paper that the VAC gave him two weeks prior.
Once through security we went into a 2nd building where we were given a ticket with a number on it and went to another line where we waited for about 5 minutes. We were called to a window and the woman asked us for his passport, birth certificate, police paper, and his medical exam results. We told the woman that we were not given the results and that the medical facility had told us that they sent it directly. She told us that for K1 we have to pick up the results. We told her that we had gone twice and all they gave us was the immunization record. She also told us that he had the wrong form of birth certificate. He needed an “act inextensa”. We asked her to please check to see if they had the results as the facility told us they’d be sending it to them. She went back for 20 minutes or so and we could see her talking with other coworkers. When she came back she said that they had looked and could see that the results were “on the platform” and that the facility had sent them in on 1/2/2024. (Three days prior to our interview). They had not been reviewed yet so she said that we could still do our interview but that they were going to tell us at the end that they have to wait to put review the medical results and put them in his file.
We went and sat down in another waiting area and waited maybe 3 minutes and then we were called up for our interview. The officer was neither rude nor overly friendly. She just seemed very focused. The first question she asked was how do we communicate and I told her that I speak Spanish. She then asked us another series of questions:
How did we meet (we met online so then she asked who messaged who first)
When was the first time we met in person
When did we get engaged? On which visit was it?
Who asked who to marry?
She asked him where do I work and how long I’ve worked there
She asked if I had any Dominican roots
What are our plans for marriage
Do we have any kids together (we have a son. She asked to see his birth certificate)
Do either of us have other kids outside of the relationship
How old are my other kids
All in all the interview took maybe 10 minutes total. At the end she didn’t say anything about being approved or not but she gave us a paper and told us that it had directions for us on how to mail the birth certificate in. The paper also had something about the medical results not being there but she told us not to worry about that part because they had them already at the embassy. The letter was the 221g letter. She also kept his passport which I’m assuming is a good thing. We went straight to the mall to get the right birth certificate in Santo Domingo and then we had to go to a place called “mail boxes etc” to mail it.
Overall it was a quick and easy experience and I have no doubt that once they receive his birth certificate they will approve the visa. We are so anxious to hear back
