US Immigration from Dominican Republic

Hi, my son is waiting the interview appointment for his residence visa, he already received the notice that he should wait a notice within 60 days, all good.

BUT he had to go out of his country and he is now in Brazil, he has 40 days there and has to finish some studies here and he is planing to request a extension of his stay. BUT when he went to the Policia Federal to request it, the offered him the option to request a temporary residence, he initially said no because he is afraid it could interfere with his US residency visa process, they said that it wont interfere, but he and I are a bit skeptical about it.

Would initiate a temporary residence in Brazil affect in any way his almost finished process for USA Residence?

What are his intentions?

He need to stay there to finish those studies until December, of course, if he receives the notice that he has to go to his country for the interview and medical examinations, he will, but until that he needs to stay there then he comes to USA

Any gay or LGBTQ couples have experience with K-1 process and the Dominican Republic? I am a USC and my fiance is Dominican. Appreciate all of your help in advance! -Tim

I have a friend who's death, she's on public assistance, Her husband is in Haiti(Married 3 years ago) She filed I-130, it got approved last month and now the case is at NVC, what documents she will need to upload on the NVC website.

1) For Co-Sponsor is that 2 I-864 forms that need to be filled out or just 1?

2) what documents she needs to upload to NVC?

3) How long does it normally take to get interview once all the documents are loaded on the NVC website

Thank you for all the feedback

When I filed my ROC in Dec 2022 I received my extension letter for only 24 months and it will expire this Dec, will I be getting another extension if my case is not approved by then?

Welcome and Congratulations on your approval!

Please note, it was brought to my attention that some of the information may be outdated, but most of the helpful tips and tricks are still accurate.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.
