Dominican Republic waiting on NVC #

[msrodriguez 267]

I thought I was totally prepared mentally, but today I am feeling completely overwhelmed. 

 

Is there a fee for the VAC appointment? 

What does he have to take with him? Passport, DS-160 confirmation and what else?  Appointment confirmation? 

 

What about medical? Passport? confirmation letter? DS-160 confirmation? 

 

I'm making a checklist so that I don't have to bother anyone else lol. Thanks ladies!!!

1st...BREATHE. it's not as bad as it seems.

 

When you pay the $265 that covers the VAC and the interview. The medical is $275 paid on day of examination. I recommend paying in dollars as the value changes daily.

 

To VAC he takes: 

1)Passport 

2)Cedula

3)Ds 160 confirmation page

4)Appt letter: the letter will have both VAC and interview appt listed

 

 To medical he takes:

1)passport

2) cedula

3) Ds 160 confirmation page

4) appt letter

5) confirmation email from NVC...if not, print out from CEAC that says at NVC or in transit

6) your address and phone #

7) vaccines record card [if he has it]

😎 $275 and extra cash for vaccines if he's gonna have it there

Thank you much. You have been such a huge help to me. I really appreciate it!! Would you mind if I message you directly with any further questions?

 

[msrodriguez 267]

Also @Catherine6 - there is old information that says he is required to bring two passport style photos to the medical exam. Is that no longer the case? 

[msrodriguez 267]

And, lol.. @Catherine6 .. the $11 fee that I mentioned yesterday is for the courier fee so that's not applicable either.  Whew!

No need for additional pics. 

 

However, tell him to bring to USA a minimum of 6 pics for AOS paperwork. It's cheaper there 😜

 

You can PM me.

Hey everyone, thanks for your participation on this thread. The information is great. I just have few questions. I just got my NVC case number and invoice number today. I completed the DS-160 and have the confirmation. I plan to pay the visa fee and then schedule the interview for May 15th. This will give the embassy in santo domingo time to get the file. Here are my questions.

- what is the fee for the medical exam. the website says about $275 and less for a child under two. My Dominican fiance called one of the two recommended medical examination firms and they quoted a price of $465 and $485 for the kid under two! Is this correct? any help would be appreciated. 

- Which Medical exam company do you recommend

- How long does it take to get a medical exam scheduled

- How long does is the police report good for

- How long is the medical exam good for

- how many passport photos each are needed for the medical and biometric exams

 

Thanks for so much for your help. This site is the best!!

WE USED SERVICIOS MEDICOS CONSULARES (serviciosmedicosconsulares.com)ON CALLE BOHECHIO IN BELLA VISTA NEAR BLUE MALL. THE FEE FOR AGES 15+ IS $275...I RECOMMEND PAYING IN DOLLARS. FEE FOR AGES 2-14 IS $205 AND AGES 0-2 IS $85...THESE FEES DOES NOT INCLUDE VACCINES, IF NEEDED.

- How long does it take to get a medical exam scheduled

THERE ARE NO APPT NEEDED FOR MEDICAL. IT'S FIRST COME, FIRST SERVE STARTING AT 7AM MON-FRI, EXCEPT HOLIDAYS.

- How long does is the police report good for

ONE CALENDAR YEAR

- How long is the medical exam good for

ONE CALENDAR YEAR. HOWEVER, IF AT THE TIME OF AOS INTERVIEW IT'S BEEN OVER A YEAR, A NEW ONE WILL BE NEEDED.

- how many passport photos each are needed for the medical and biometric exams

NONE...THE VAC APPT WILL TAKE CARE OF PHOTOS. I DO RECOMMEND FOR YOUR PARTNER TO BRING A MINIMUM OF 6 PHOTOS UPON ARRIVAL TO USA FOR THE AOS PAPERWORK...BECAUSE PHOTOS IN DR ARE CHEAPER

 

Thanks for so much for your help. This site is the best!!
