Hello everyone I just recieved an email that my request for an interview expedite was approved.

Now my question is should I call the US Embassy in Santo Domingo or will they send me an interview letter ?

Also I checked the ceac website and saw this message "Your case is in transit to the Consular Section. Your interview date was provided to you by the National Visa Center." This has me a bit comfused becuase now I dont know how I will know about my interview.

Congrats on your expedite. Once an expedite is granted by the US consulate it means the NVC stops handling your case and forwards it to the US Consulate in your country, DR. So the consulate will set an interview date for you once they receive your case. You said it is still in transit so keep checking ceac everyday until it shows your case is Ready for an interview at the consulate.

Then I suggest you send an email or telephone the US Consulate asking them on the way to go forward and they will get back to you with an interview date.

While you wait go over to the DR Embassy info page here on VJ to see all what you'll be needing for an interview and get the list of Doctors for your medical and get that done so that you don't waste anytime. Be proactive while you wait to get an interview date so that you don't lose any time especially with medicals, police certificate etc

Good luck.

Thank you :)

I sent an email to request the expedite for my case on January 29,2014

Then on January 31,2014 they emailed me back requesting to foreign phone numbers, I replied the same day and on February 3,2014 I recieved another email saying I had to resend the numbers with all of our info.(case#,dob,priority date, etc.) and I did so that very same day.

And this morning I recieved the approval. ?

I guess it was because my case in NVC was complete and I was just waiting for an interview and I know its mandatory when your petitioning for your spouse to attend and I wouldn't be able to fly to close to my due date
