I am confused with the creation of thus profile. My husband is in Santo Domingo, RD and my interview has been scheduled for April 27, 2015. To my understanding I need to create a profile and schedule a fingerprinting appointment. I am confused as far as who's address that I have to provide in that profile. Mine or my husband's in DR. Does this address have anything to do with the delivery of the visa? Please help.

Can somebody advice me on what address to put when creating the account for the VAC (to schedule a fingerprinting appointment? Does this address have anything to do with the visa delivery? How does this work? I've been reading you pick the visa up so where do you specify where you will pick it up. Please help.

You use his address which is totally different from the pick up location. Also, for zip code in the DR you use 00000.

Does it matter where you choose to pick up? I wonder if I choose the VAC as opposed to a mailbox, it would be faster to obtain the passport with the visa. I am planing to travel to accompany my husband to the interview and i have my days counted to miss work. I hope he obtains the passport within 7 days that way we can return together to the US.

They don't deliver the visa to the address, you choose a location to pick it up. I used my address here in the States and we were fine.

The total amount of days from the date I mailed in our K1 Visa application to the day my fiancé stepped foot into the USA:

1 year, 3 months and 8 days.

The amount of days from the date we mailed in our AOS to the date everything was approved (after 3 RFEs):

7 months & 5 days

Which makes our journey a total of:

2 years, 3 months, and 8 days

We chose the VAC and as far as the address the don't send anything to you that you will need. You pick up everything on your own where you choose, also he used my US address
