Thank you for the information:) Hope your fiance will get the visa very soon.
By the way, my husband is from NYC too:)

HAPPY HAPPY HAPPY finally some good news in this long process but the war is not won until my husband steps foot on US soil... This is just a small battle we just won.
This E-mail message is in reply to your inquiry regarding the Form I-601, Application for Waiver of Grounds of Inadmissibility, which your constituent filed with USCIS on August 22, 2014.
Our records show that this case was approved for expedite consideration on October 15, 2014. At this time, we are working with the consulate in Costa Rica regarding this case. If your constituent has not received a decision or other notice of action within 30 days, please contact us for an update.

My hubby and I were sent an email on Monday the 14th of July, notice of approval, yayyyyyyyyyyyyyyy now were just waiting on the original, it took 3 months and 2.5 weeks, soo I think it would have only taken 3 months but there was 2 big vacation during our waiting period...Thanks be to god, god bless everyone and keep the faith...

My husbands reciept day is march 11 and he was approved on June 26, regular i601 no expedite ?don't lose the faith?

Hi VJers,
This is just a note as of May 2014. I wrote the DR consulate about follow-to-join children and asked them some questions that are not specifically on their web site, so I am putting them here along with the embassy's answer in hopes that it helps others that are planning to do follow-to-join.
Do the children need to be present for the initial interview with my fiance since they are follow-to-join?
No.
Is there anything that I need to bring to the initial interview with my fiance regarding the children IF the children do not need to be there?
Their birth certificates.
(My note: birth certificates should be long-form [in extensa])
I was under the impression that each person, incl. children, need to have the DS-160 and present it at the embassy during the interview. Would we need to present the DS-160 form and/or already have paid for their visa fees for the children during the initial interview, even if the children are "follow-to-join?"
No. They will need to present when they have their interviews.
Once we are married and we are settled in and ready to bring the children over (before the deadline for applying for K-2 visas), is it just a matter of notifying you to get another interview scheduled for the children (and thus being able to do their medical, pay their visa fees, etc.)? How would we need to notify you? E-mail (like this) or phone call or letter?
E-mail. The deadline to process the children is eleven (11) months after the visa of the mother or father is issued. and you will need to get married within 90 days from entering the US for the first time.
(My note: their email address is SantoDomingoVisas@state.gov. In the subject use Case Inquiry #<insert your NVC case number here>
I hope this helps.

I could just imagine how you feel... that's my fear when my fiance comes and his son stays in DR and we have a son here in the USA. It's hard, maybe he could go out and get a job and he could be busy and not think about the negative things. You know his babymama will always call and complain and ask for money it sucks. But I really hope things turn around for you because after going thru this process you should be happy and not stressed....

Im sorry things are not good, it is quite an adjustment. All i can tell you is hang in there. My hubby does not like staying at home, but he has no choice. He cant work until he has his ead, so i try to take him out places on the weekend. In the meantime he cooks lunch, cleans, mows the lawn, and watches tv and listens to music. There is not much more he can do. He does not have children, but his whole family is sick with the flu. He misses his mom and grandparents, but he has never mentioned wanting to go back to the dr

Thanks you lord finally after almost 8mths! NVC here we come

how long have you been waiting??? if she cannot wait some months then where is the love. I have not seen my fiance in a year and 3 months and we have a child that is 10 months and he has not seen. So if the love is strong then you pull thru it. if not then it's not worth it... think about it....

i checked my case today and i noticed uscis approved our petition somebody can tell me what's the next?

Sorry, but it sounds like she's just not that into you. I met my wife in early 2007. We weren't permanently together until early 2011.

Im not a relationship therapist but if she isn't worried about it and its so easy for her to give up then let it be. No need to waste more of u r money on the relationship by going down there. U did ur part just sad she couldn't do hers. Sorry aboyt the outcome.

Got my interview date today. Feb. 26

I JUST checked the Timeline via the Search Utility and I do not find anyone in Approved (NOA2) in Sept. that is scheduled for Nov or any other month except for a few who are scheduled for January 2014.
The ONLY COUPLES from Republica Dominicana with Early November dates that I am aware of and are recorded are myself, a woman I have befriended here; another couple scheduled a few days after us that I also am familiar with... and married couple with a child together who are also patiently waiting for about a year if my memory serves me correctly.
We were ALL approved (NOA2) In July or the first day of August.
Please don't post things without merit. This process is stressful enough without misinformation flying around.
Thanks!

Where is your base to state the DR is one of the highest fraud rate countries? That's where I was born. Traveled many times with a tourist visa to the U.S. Later my grandpa petitioned for my mom and family so we got Permanent Residency. I became a U.S. citizen with no fraud at all.
That phrase you just repeated was the basic of A-COUNTRY telling B-COUNTRY to be careful of C-COUNTRY. You can of course substitute A, B, and C with any set of countries.
I'm glad petitioning is not an easy process. I see how it helps this country to be safer than others. I'm glad is not easy for me that have a real family, because it makes me feel is not easy for others to bring dangerous people here. Now, it is also the job and judgement of us as petitioners to make sure we aren't bringing dangerous or fraud to this country. I'm glad the OP has realize there is something to think about on her relationship. It could've been the case of a beneficiary being from a different country.
i won't go any further making examples of fraud just to stay away from putting any country on the spot. And I hope this post doesn't put any country on the spot either. To describe a country looking at a few individuals is really just silly.

Yeah.... I got my case #

Our interview date has been scheduled for Jan. 3, 2014 in Santo Domingo!! WOOHOO!!! <3

Currently waiting yo be checked in at the airport! A few hours until I'm in the arms of my better half. Can't wait to be in the arms if my honey.

I've traveled to DR with a one way ticket.. JetBlue didn't say anything about it. Is that an airline requirement or just international travel policies?

There is no age gap between the two of you it's just a few years so that will never be a problem. if you count your flight expenses etc it will never go pass the 2000
good luck

Dude this was a summer fling, sand sun & drinks
10 days R U crazy?, U would make a lifetime decisions
after 10 days, with someone accepting money from U
already?, U just became the brand new ATM, it happens
everyday everywhere, its called games, how does a
woman not know or cannot get the proper information
to obtain her own passport in her own country?
If a male or female on vacation then returns home &
begin to wire money to those they met, something's wrong
a nice card snail-mail with even a souvener might be
fitting, money hells no....no telling how many guys passed
thru that summer and is now sending funds for assports...Lets
hope there's no pregnancy that needs to be rid off.....I've
heard it all.....Think smart dude peace out

you met the girl once for 10 days just two months ago and are you planning to get married? really? date her at LEAST 2 years, go to see her a few times and then get married, less than that you are asking to be scammed.

Im sorry dont want to put a damper on your parade, but BEWARE!!! Take your time get to know her well because I have seen people be taken for fools all the time in DR and your sending her money and buying her things be extra careful. I am bringing my fiance, but it took me 4yrs to really believe his intention and had he mentioned a visa in the first year we would not be doing this process today. It also helped that I went to live there for a yr with him. The fact that she knew things needed for the interview sounds like she did some research... love can happen at first sight but just test it to make sure its the real thing. Wish you the best.
