US Immigration from Dominican Republic

Hello everyone,

I have a question regarding the interview process for IR1/CR1 visas in Madrid, Spain. My husband plans to study in Spain for a year, and we're currently waiting for our I-130 approval from USCIS, which we expect in the next few months. We're wondering if it's possible to transfer the case to the U.S. embassy in Madrid once USCIS approves it, and what the current wait time is for a CR1/IR1 interview there.

Thank you for your help!

I don t know if I m putting this in the right place, but my husband got a denial on his AOS due to tax forms.

we don t know what to do from here,

the denial says we can appeal or put in a motion. We went to a lawyer and she wanted 3k to help us so we re forced to do it alone.

I have a few people telling me to restart the entire process.
Is it better to restart or submit a motion?

Since he s already approved on the k1 visa, does that mean he s not approved anymore? When we refile will he have to go to another interview?

is his work visa cancelled now?

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 (cases have been taking 30-60 days to reach NVC. Please be patient). 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 :

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 2025 shipping calendar being shared so I have included it below.

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

Hi,

I submitted an AOS application for my k2, everything was going great, till i received an RFE on the I-864, I resubmitted everything they requested but case was Denied ( due to an error in my part), now i'm resubmitting everything from scratch, should i resubmit an I-765 form also, since my child already got an SS #, or is that considered denied also.
