US Immigration from Dominican Republic

Hi, I'm doing consular processing for my husband, our pd is oct 25 2023. I applied for k3 on December 2023 and I didn't see any movement on my case yet.

My wife brought me over here from the Dominican Republic on the K1 Visa. We got married last week. And we are now looking into applying for my adjustment of status. I wanted to add my unmarried minor Daugther to my application. Is there anything that I should be aware of in reference to the steps? I want to make sure to do everything correctly. Thanks !

Welcome and Congratulations on your approval!

This thread was created for those who are waiting for their NOA2 K-1 case assignment from NVC and then tracking your case onwards to your Embassy.

Your case will be forwarded from USCIS to NVC shortly. Once your case has arrived at NVC , you will be assigned a new case number (your old USCIS case number will not give you any NVC updates).

A few helpful NVC links:

NVCResearch@state.gov

NVC phone number is (603)334-0888

I am including this in hopes that they will reinstate the number in the future but :

They are currently NOT answering queries over the phone!! They are primarily answering all queries solely via their public contact page

NVC PUBLIC INQUIRY FORM:

If you need to submit an inquiry, change an address , request your new NVC case number or need to update your info in anyway NVC has a public inquiry form where you can submit your request as well as many other requests:

Once you ve received your NVC case number you can track your case online using the following link, until it is sent to your embassy:

Also, inside the attached PDF below are a few tips, tricks and hacks to help you along the way.

These are items that everyone asks for, so they have been very helpfully put together by senior VJMember Greenbaum for you to refer to when necessary. If you are new to this thread, please read these first as these are the most asked questions.

Please note, it was brought to my attention that some of the information may be outdated, but most of the helpful tips and tricks are still accurate. Regarding your packet 3, there isn t anyone within VJ currently providing that information for each embassy so that part of the PDF may be disregarded.

NVC sends petitions to the embassy every two weeks on Tuesdays and Wednesdays. I noticed a 2024 shipping calendar being shared so I have included it below.

You can use that calendar to track when the next shipment date will be.

Hello,

I would like to have my children become US citizens as I am one as well. They are currently in the US with me with visitor visas.

1. Is there a way to apply for their citizenship without first obtaining a green card? If so, what is this way and what are the forms required?

2. If I must apply for a green card through the I-130 and I-485, then how long do they have to wait to become US citizens?
