I really wasn't expecting any problems and sure enough in less than 5 minutes were were approved. The people at the Santo Domingo embassy were wonderful. One funny thing is that my fiancé and I are not Spanish speakers but they kept trying to talk to us in Spanish. Understandable since we were definitely the exception as neither one of us is Dominican. The agent who performed the interview was awesome. She was so sympathetic to our story and how we've been waiting over 10 years to return to the US. With a big smile she said congratulations. I was immediately choked up and couldn't even speak. She just looked in my eyes, smiled and said "finally!". Finally is right. Can't wait to get back to the States and start a family. I'll be working on a full review of the experience later.

Thanks for all the help and advice! Good luck to everyone waiting on their outcome.
