I agree with lowlie!! Relax prepare and concentrate on the future

Hello everyone, i did not post allot in the forum but have been following every thread that has helped me answer all of my questions and go through the final stages of this process feeling more relaxed and able to see progress and similar experiences like mine. Yesterday was our interview at the embassy at the Dominican Republic at 8:00am. We got to the embassy at around 6:00am and it was already packed. We brought our 1 year old son with us and got sent to a line for people with kids and got a chance to enter the embassy much sooner than expected. we got number 29 and waited for about 20 minutes for our number to be called. The first time they called us the person only requested my wifes paperwork (police cert, marriage cert and medical exam), baby's birth certificate and naturalization certificate and gave me back a packet that was label additional documents, and told me those were everything i had sent NVC that was not needed. He then advised us to sit down and wait to be called again. After about 40 minutes of wait after that, we were called again, this time it was the official. She was a very nice lady and smiled all the way. She looked at the papers and everything was in order, didnt ask a single question eiher to me or to my wife and joked that we were about 1 out of 2 couples that were migrating to florida as everyone here in the DR usually go to new york,after writing something in the computer she then looked at the AOS and asked me if i had another sponsor besides me because my income wasnt enough i told her i did and that i had sent the sponsors i864 packet to nvc as well. It turns out they never got it and they were only showing me. She asked if i had a copy with me and out of all the information that i did have, that i didnt. it was frustrating, she gave my wife a white papre for her to mail in the packet and that she would hear from them as soon as they recieved the i864 from my sponsor. I asked if i could bring it myself to the embassy instead of mailing it and she told me i could. She gave me a embassy access pass to come back anytime until the 15th and to go to a specific window to hand everything in. I left very frustrated and when i got to my car and checked my phone (no phones allowed in embassy) i had recieved the full packet by carrier and was waiting for me to go pick it up... we were able to get it from the postal office and drive back to the embassy in about an hour. We went back to the embassy and once we entered i was able to go to the nice lady again, she looked at everything and said ok your vsa will be issued today and it will be delivered to the locaton you preselected. Checked ceac status yesterday and said administrative processing. Today i checked again and now it says issued!!!! i am so happy to have finally finished this process after starting it back in december of 2012. Just wanted to share my experience with al of you as this forum has been of incredible help to me once i decided to join as one of its members back in july. I appreciate all the help i found and how he spreadsheet allowed me to stay at ease while waiting for my interview.@@ Good luck to everyone waiting for there interview day to come and to everyone in this dreaded process...!!! WOOHOOOOO SO HAPPYYYY

dwheels76 is it normal for the ceac status to change from at nvc to in transit and then ready so fast? yesterday when i checked at night it said at NVC then this morning it came up as in transit which got me excited! but then when i checked about an hour ago it shows ready... ive been reading here at that usually takes more time... what do you think of this...? Thank You!!

Yesterday the CEAC status showed still at NVC, wake up this morning and it says In Transit... for some curiosity i verified again and now it says ready!!!!

The embassy has no record of you yet as the case is going to now be processed by NVC and then, when its reafy for an interview, they will send it to the embassy. Keep calling the nvc it will take you a few tries as there will be a recording stating all reps are busy, just hang up and redial until you get a ring and then the recording. That ring is your cue that u got through. Hope it helps!!

It was 3 days for me. Just another data point.

2 days for me too...

Yes. Its very frustrating. They do contradict themselves. Some say they havent started schedule in October, while others say October scheduling is completed. This wait is killing me!!!!

Hey Yovanca, im on the same boat as you are, my case is for DR, my CC is 08/03 and im patiently waiting as well, last month they stopped at 07/31, so hopefully we get lucky!! tired of waiting

Well I would call. DR stopped at 7/31 for last month so looks like you may be coming up. Call report back.

Hello everyone, i am relatively new here and havent really posted at all. My embassy is in the dominican republic and my case completed on 08/03 still patiently and eagerly waiting for an interview, wich seems to have gotten going for october so i hope i get oneee!!! imagine, my first scan date was 12/21/2012. and it has dragged on because of unforseen situations (life) but know im finally confident it will be a short time!!

Good luck to everyone.

I started my process back in dicember of 2012 and i just got a case complete on 08/03. Now just patiently waiting for the interview. Ive waited this long, cant go crazy so close to the finishline.... Good Vibes!!!
