US Immigration from Dominican Republic

My AOS for my k2 was denied. After doing research, I am now resubmitting the AOS from scratch (yes, very costly), do I also have to resubmit form I-765 if in my USCIS acct it doesn't show cancelled?

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:

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Please note, it was brought to my attention that some of the information may be outdated, but most of the helpful tips and tricks are still accurate.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. We normally have a calendar but I haven t located one for 2025 yet.

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 VJ members,

I hope you are all doing great!!

I am a U.S. citizen and submitted an I-130 petition for my husband on March 26, 2024, followed by a K-3 visa request on April 5, 2024. Recently, I noticed that processing times for the I-130 have increased to 16 months, with no apparent efforts to reduce them. Additionally, processing times for K-1, K-2, K-3, and K-4 visas are averaging about 8.5 months, and we have already been waiting for approximately 9 months.

I was wondering if it would be possible to submit an inquiry regarding the K-3 visa. While I understand the K-3 visa process is rarely utilized, my intention is to draw attention to our case. Although we are not in an urgent situation, waiting 16 months for the I-130 processing, followed by an additional year in our home country to secure an appointment, feels unreasonable.

Again, I know K3 is dead...

Thanks in advance,

Regards,

Renzo C.
