| Embassy Review : |
We arrive in Santo Domingo the night before the interview, we stayed on Jardines del Teatro as recommended on this site very friendly staff and room are clean and inexpensive. Woke up at 4:30am, arrived at consulate at 5:15am there was a line of about 40 people already no bucones thank God. Around 6:15am the line started to move, in the building by 6:50am. we were called to the first window 24 by 7:10am, were told that we needed to fix our DS260 since it did not show my husband middle name (system error, since I had a print out of my submission) the very nice lady told us to go out to an internet center and fix it and comeback to window 16. We walk to a center around the corner and had a little problem login into my husband case, immigration system was not recognizing server. We solved the problem and paid RD 400.00 pesos. Went back to the consulate and enter with no problem, at window 16 a Stuck up lady was trying to give us a hard time until the previous lady came and told her that she told us to come to that window. She verified our correction online and told us to sit until called. about 20 minutes later we were called to window 15 for finger printing. We sat down again, and 30 minutes later were called to window 19 a very friendly American was there and he swore us in, I didn't realize that it was the beginning of our interview. He started with me in English he drill me for about 10 minutes asking me the Following:
CO How did you two meet?

CO Really What attracted you to him?
ME He was age appropriate
CO he laugh at this, and said good answer
CO What was his profile name?

Me We spoke for a year, before meeting, marry two years later
CO Does he have family in USA?

CO Do you have any family in DR?
ME Yes distance cousins and aunts
CO Did any one pay you to marry this man?
Me laughing Noooooo
CO You make a bunch of money what do you do for a leaving?

Me Yes
CO Who does he live with?
Me Mother and Brother
CO How many children does he have?

CO Do you have pictures of your live together?
Me Yes our wedding pictures

*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.
