Hi, 

I am the petitioner. And I went in knowing the fees were non refundable. I’m talking about any money that he has scammed me out of since we have been married.

Thank you,

Hi Everyone! 

July AOS 2017 Filer here. I received “scheduled interview” notice for beginning of August.

Too bad, I found out that this whole thing has been a sham. 

Can anyone direct me to a help section on stopping this process & notification to the proper departments?

Also, is there anyway to recoup any of my financial losses?

Thank you in advance.

G'AM All,

We filed on 6/26 & package was delivered to Chicago on 6/27.

I am beginning to get worried as we haven't received any email or text notifications of receipt and our check has yet to be cashed. 

This doesn't seem like a normal process?...any insight to figuring out how to track down our package is greatly appreciated.

Thank you!

if it's done within the last 12 months from now, then you just need to send a copy of the DS-3025, which is the vaccination record provided by the panel physician during her medical exam.

Good Morning All!

@Anthony and Bobby Can you please let me know where we can find the DS-3025? We can't for the life of us find this or even know what it looks like. 

My fiancé had his medical done in DR but was only given the sealed docs and CD that was submitted at the Embassy. 

Any assistance is greatly appreciated & wishing everyone the best outcome in our journeys.

Thank you so much for this information @m_&_a and so thorough!!

Hopefully it will be closer to 2 months for your EAD & Travel docs.

The only thing that caused us immediate concern is his birth certificate. USCIS still has it...

We'll try to get a copy sent to us. 

Thank you again and wish everyone the best on their journeys.

Hi There!

This whole.."not being able to work" thing has moved up our wedding date to tomorrow. =}

Hopefully, by the end of the week, we'll be able to send in AOS?

How long did it take to receive EAD after filing?

Any advice or tips concerning filing and Denver's office is greatly appreciated. 

Thanx in advance!

Either way, I'm so glad I found this group! You all understand our grief!

Patience is truly a virtue! Jajaja

my wife had to show her fingerprint receipt. 

Thank you for this @ricpope. Their VAC appointment isn't until Friday...I'll see if moving up their date will help any.

Uggh, this is so frustrating that they don't even follow their own posted rules. 

Thank you in advance to anyone that can point me in the right direction here...

My Uncle & his fiancee (December filers) finally had their case ready and scheduled their interview on Thursday for next Monday. The fiancee traveled from Santiago to Santo Domingo, DR on Friday to have her medical done and they refused to see her. She had copies of the CEAC site showing "Ready", DS-160 & Interview Confirmation pages. They refused to see her, saying they need an interview letter (P4). Has anyone been in this situation? Any suggestions? She's going to try again on Monday but now they're really pushing it. 

SN: We were just approved last month & did not have to go through this hassle. We never even received this document they are requiring. 

Thank you again for your time!

Hi NicoAndNelle!  Yes not too many people from Trinidad here. So I don't have any idea what to expect when we get to the embassy and all that. I would be happy to share my experiences with you after we go through the process.

I would really appreciate that and intend to do same when it's our turn for those coming after. 

Hi @Nameless & @NicoAndNelle,

Not sure if you guys are aware of this but since you have your timeline country filled out you should check out the "Portals" tab (upper left of the screen).

It should bring you to "All-things-Trinidad" so to speak.

I was able to find very specific embassy experiences and answers to questions that I had.

Hope this helps.

I am so happy for you guys! I've been watching your journey since I found this gem of a site.  Your good news just raised my spirits so much...you just don't know. 

Please keep us posted!

the visa is to be able to travel to the US. So basically you're saying that there is no need to buy a travel visa? 

Did you perhaps, mean his passport so that he can travel outside of the country?

Hi I'm a December filer, my fiancée is in the DR as well... good luck to use all

Oh, how exciting! Hopefully, just a couple more weeks for you until the next step!

Hi! My fiancé is in DR as well. It is great to see another January flier in the same country. I wish you the best of luck!!

Oh, that's awesome! They'll be here with us soon enough! 

Hey Peoples! January 9th Filer here 

Even though I found VJ after I submitted our documents, this site has truly been a "god-send" in easing my nerves.  Thank you to all that have contributed to these forums!

As I learn to exercise patience and looking for ways to be proactive, I believe I have run into a situation that has not been discussed as yet.. 

My fiancé has already gone through a portion of the visa process. He is in the VAC system from December (initially applied for a Visitor's Visa) and therefore has had his picture & fingerprints added to the Santo Domingo Embassy. Can anyone verify, if once we reach the DS-160 application step, will the additional appointment for the fingerprinting, etc. be waived since this information has already been collected?

Any information is greatly appreciated!

Thanx in advance!
