I never thought this day would come when I would share this news here!!! ???

Is so surreal still but we thank Jehovah God everyday for helping us and I really thank all

of you who contributed your help during this process. I guided myself with Visa Journey and NEVER had a problem during this process.

Thanks to all!!!! BEST PAGE EVER!!

Everything went smooth. We had such a nice consul. He asked my hubby about 10 questions but it was more of a conversation than interview.

The wait was LONG!! But worth every minute!!

Now... How long till the PASSPORT arrive?

Anyone from the DR knows?

Should I buy flight before having passport in hand? We are planning to travel in about 3 weeks...

Thanks once again for making this journey so smooth

Congrats. I know how worried you've been. Deserved it- you were diligent. As far as I know in DR passports take 7-10 days to be available for pick up. You can track this through Us travel docs. However, I highly suggest for you NOT TO buy an tickets yet. Unless it’s of no trouble for you to change flights, you should wait a bit more or until passport is in hand. Things can be delayed and you don’t want to take that risk.
