Here is the P3. Let me know if you were able to download the PDF as I have been of late, having problems with it working.

 

This is everything that is needed for DR

Now, during the pandemic this guide is a bit off I think. I completed the DS-160. He went last week to do the fingerprints. I called NVC. The case is still at NVC. NVC is saying that they won't send the case to the Dominican Republic until the embassy asks for the case. I asked them should I move forward and complete the Affidavit of support. They said they didn't know. They told me only the embassy will know what other forms I need to complete. Interview appointments can not be schedule online. 

The Dominican Republic is not a travel ban country. They are not allowing interviews for K1. They are saying they aren't processing K1 because of the pandemic. Yet, they are processing tourist visas. (I know first hand...not a rumor.) After completing and paying for the DS-160 and the fingerprints, what are the next steps? Should I complete the Affidavit of Support? If so, where do I send that? Is that paid online? 

Thanks.

Hello @Greenbaum, may I please have the P3 for Santo Domingo (Dominican Republic)? Thank you in advance.

Congratulations. See my remarks here and if willing can you update your profile. Thank you. Now on to the next step.

 

 

Done.

We were also approved today!

NOA1: 21 April 2020

NOA2: 17 December 2020 (App update: Also confirmed by USCIS.gov account login)

Timeline already updated.

USCIS updated their timeline for the California Processing Center (unsure of the others) to reflect March 2020. It's no longer April 2020. This is the new reflection of the newly announced 6.5 to 8 months processing instead of the 5 to 7-month processing. So it seems this is actually more in line with the data provided by VJ. They are still processing March 2020 applications.

I'm sure some will say, "well, at least they are working on it!". However, in my opinion, it's disheartening. Logic: A good number of people tend to take vacation time in December. Before, COVID offices would be almost a ghost town. I believe this will cause a more significant slow down on processing. I think it would be realistic to prepare (read: preparation for a sanity check) for a January 2021 approval. January 2021 is speculative and hopeful. Personally, I'm bracing for a February 2021 approval.
