US Immigration from Dominican Republic

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.

A few helpful NVC links:

NVC phone number is (603)334-0888

Please note: They are currently NOT answering queries over the phone!

They are answering through the below emails :

NVCinquiry@state.gov

OR

NVCResearch@state.gov

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:

If you need to submit an inquiry, change an address , or need to update your info in anyway NVC also has a public inquiry form where you can submit your request as well as 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 VJ Member 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.

NVC sends petitions to the embassy every two weeks on Tuesdays and Wednesdays. A FB group has created a shipping chart for 2023 that you can use to track when the next shipment date will be. It seems to line up with all the dates I ve seen so far so I think it s accurate and will include it below.

I received my NOA2 on April 8 and finally received an email from the NVC on July 17 that the file has been sent to the Consulate ( Dominican Republic). I have never received a welcome letter - any idea how long that normally takes?

Good afternoon,

Please help me clarify:

I have 4 I130 approvals that went to NVC separately with separate receipt and invoice numbers (husband + 3 step kids). I am assuming NVC knows the cases are connected because when I paid the affidavit fee in the main applicant account (hubby's) it won't allow me to pay again in the other three NVC cases. My question is ? Do I upload 4 separates I864 forms under each case? or how does it work?

in the form it looks like my step children are not derivatives so they need their own and I cannot list them as a accompany family members.

i am trying to avoid a RFE and get document qualified right away. Please help me.

Keila

Good morning,

I woke up to an approval today almost three months after filing.

I did submit a K3 two weeks after receiving approval notice.

Hello, i was not sure where to post these questions, if the family based forum or student exchange one.

I came here because a friend told me very good about this forum, I know I have to complete the profile, but I hope you forgive me, I'm going to do it later, since I'll still be here for a long time.

I am currently waiting for my priority date

I am applying for the F24 visa and my priority is F2B.

I don't know if that information is useful to you.

i currently have a tourist visa (B1/B2).
I work online and have my virtual company so i have lot of flexibility to work from anywhere.

And here are my two questions:
1- Can i stay i the United States until I get notified for my interview?
(since B1/B2 Visa can let you legally stay for only 6 months, (i would stay in 5 months intervals just to keep it healthy) would that affect my process?

2- I am interested in an internship for my career, it is a very good program for my area and all my friends who have applied have been accepted. I never applied because i was afraid it could interfere with my immigration process.

But i am still interested.

The program would request a J1 i think, if i apply, and they file for a j1 request for me, Would that affect my immigration process? would that affect my B1/B2 visa?, would the J1 be denied?

Thank you a lot in advance guys!
