As tough as it may seem you just have to hang in there. Many of us have been in your situation. My noa2 came almost 7 months after I submitted application. It'll be here soon enough. The important thing is to make sure that they're working on it. Good luck.

We were not asked for any of those documents during our interview. Our checklist indicted that we had already satisfied those requirements. To be safe I also brought them along just in case. Better safe than sorry.

If you want to obtain a copy of any of the forms you can google it and find a blank copy of it online. Some of the forms actually let you fill them out online if your computer has adobe and then print them out. Like YA 1127 wrote the form 3032 is emailed to nvcinquiry@state.gov. Remember to include your case number, beneficiary name and date of birth and petitioner name and date of birth in the body of them email. On the subject line always include the case number and attach the form as a PDF. Keep calling NVC until you get a case number because the case number must be on the form. All of the forms will eventually be emailed to you but in an effort to same time you can obtain all these forms on your own and have them filled out and ready before they are requested. Believe me it'll save you so much time. And yes the affidavit of support gets sent after you pay the $88. You will receive the email to pay that after they receive form 3032. You also have to see if you can fill out the shorter form of I-864EZ. This was the one I filled out because I qualified for that one. If you are not using a co-sponsor and are petitioning for only one person and are using only your income earned in the affidavit of support then this is form you would use. All of these forms come with instructions that you should carefully read if filling them out on your own. Make sure you read everything carefully and as many times as possible to avoid any mistakes. If you need to call NVC with any questions because any mistake may make your case take longer for approval. Hope this helps ;-)

Once the case is at NVC you can call them to update all your info and his info. You can even do this with your USCIS number as long as they have your case in the system. The first form he has to fill out is form 3032 which is the choice of agent. Here he can give them the ok to send you any info regarding the case. You have to wait for the case number from NVC before he emails it to them because the case number has to be on it. They will email a copy of the form with a barcode but it is not necessary to wait as long as the case number is on it. This will save you some time. Then it has to be emailed from his email address (you can do this for him as long as you are signed in to his email. Very important that the document be sent as a PDF). Once that is processed they will send you the email to pay the AOS fee of $88. Once that is marked as paid you can submit the affidavit with all the necessary documents. I would suggest you begin getting all that ready. Then you will get the email to pay the IV fee of $230. Once that is marked paid you can submit the form DS 230 along with all those supporting documents. To save you time in the future I suggest you get that ready as well. That way you can mail it out faster. Good luck to you and your hubby.

Your marriage certificate looks like mine and it was accepted according to the checklist I was sent with packet 4. I sent in the original with a copy and a notarized translation just in case.

Unfortunately you have to wait for them to actually tell you that your case is complete. Did the NVC tell you it was? Just because they have all the documents does not mean it is complete. You should call again and ask them directly if it is complete so you can be sure.

Congrats on your interview. This is what I have learned so far. Anybody feel free to correct me because I am still learning myself.

After the excitement you have to remain calm so that you can properly prepare for what is ahead. After you receive the p4 email telling you of the interview date and any missing documents. You can use that email to pay the bank fee (around 680 pesos or $17 very important to keep receipt and take to interview) and you will be needing that email for the medical. For the medical he will have to take his cedula, three passport photos, the interview letter and the fees (currently $290). They advise you to have the medical done at least ten days before the interview. You now have to start getting all your proof ready and easily organized (photos, boarding passes, phone logs, western union receipts if any, hotel receipts, emails) and copies of all applications submitted all along and copies of all documents as well as originals if easily accessible. You will also need an updated police letter to take to interview and your passports. On the interview date you will be asked to submit the police letter as well as necessary documents. Once approved :-) you will pay the Domex fee (around $12 or $15). After you get your visa and the AA number you will have to pay the $165 fee online. Anybody can pay this fee from a US bank as long as they have your AA number. Also very important to review as many questions as possible and practice, practice, practice. Reading past interviews will be very helpful. Good luck to all us June interviews and everybody here on VJ!!!!

No I still have to wait to get approved. I was just wondering so we could plan ahead. I have a feeling that with God by our side we will soon be here together. I am going to check the site just to get familiar with it. Thx reese1.

Hi Everyone

Does anybody know how long it is taking to get the visa package in the Dominican Republic after your visa is approved? If you choose to pick it up at Domex is it currently taking a matter of days or weeks? Is there a faster option?

Thanks :-)

It all depends on how long you want to wait for your husband to come live in the United States. With the CR1 your husband will be allowed to live and work here. Later on he will receive his permanent resident card once the two years have passed. You may be requested to go to an interview before he receives it just to prove to them that you are actually married and living here together but I have heard of cases where people get it without an interview. You can delay the process two years if you take your time submitting documents but make sure you read everything they send you carefully because many notices inform you that if they do no hear from you within a certain amount of time the case will be discontinued and you will have to reapply. Hope this helps. Good luck.

Thank you so much GodsGift225. Ur response was very helpful.

I have filed a cr1 and will soon be having an interview in the Dominican Republic. Can somebody that has gone through the process please let me know exactly what documents and fees I have left to bring on that day. I want to make sure I am as prepared as possible. Thanks to all.

We were approved on April 1st and still haven't received an interview date. I'm expecting it before the end of the month hopefully.
