19 days after NVC assigned my case number (11/5) FINALLY IN TRANSIT TODAY!!!!!! I am so overjoyed and excited to report this thanks to all for your support and wisdom!
I'm not quite sure if this had anything to do with it, but I visited the website of the US Embassy in DR http://santodomingo....-contact-e.html
and emailed support@ustraveldocs.com inquiring about the status of my case and tell me anything further (more than the CEAC website or NVC has been telling me). A few emails and a few hours later, checking CEAC for probably the fourth time today it is IN TRANSIT!!!!
