A FB group has created a shipping chart for 2023 that you can use to track when the next shipment date will be. It seems to line up with all the dates I’ve seen so far so I think it’s accurate and will include it below.

Hello, were you able to schedule your interview

It takes longer than a month to receive your interview. It goes by DQ date and They are currently working on cases DQed in October 2022. So that would put you at 2-3 additional months

It is not only to update your information. If you click the link you will see that there are many options

For Dominican Republic, it should be about a day or so and you’ll see that your status will update to Ready Thank you! I’m going to include this in the next NOA2 thread

Thanks for sharing this. I’ll include it going forward

Sure thing. Check your inbox 🙂

Nvc can give conflicting information regarding next steps for DR so I would take what they say with a grain of salt. But Jamie is right, the embassy requests cases every two weeks on Tuesday and Wednesday and you should be on the lookout those days to see if your case is in the next batch that gets sent. And no, the embassy will not send you any correspondence regarding any next steps. When your case is sent to the embassy, NVC will email you something called a Welcome Letter. It has loose instructions of what your next steps will be. It’s not complete by any means

Hello, you need to wait until it says Ready and then you can do that.

Yeah of course!

Yeah processing times were still slow back then but better than they currently are. My petition took about 6 months (RFE) and then about 2 weeks after I sent my RFE response for USCIS approval. So about 7 months. I did expedite at NVC though

Messaged you a few minutes ago 🙂

Yeah I agree, that’s really wild that they haven’t updated that process yet.

Sure. Since you can’t share WhatsApp links on VJ, I’ll send it via a private message 🙂

I don’t think there’s much else he can do except keep sending inquiries until they confirm they’ve received the file. NVC is taking upwards of 90 days to confirm receipt of K1 petition recently

I don’t think you will be able to get married in April. It is taking nvc awhile to assign the case number and also the interview dates are currently in February in DR. By the time your case is sent, the calendar could easily be in May

I know of a WhatsApp group with ppl from Santo Domingo also awaiting DQ or interview dates. Let me know if you would like the link

Remember guys, at the beginning of the thread there is a small note where I mentioned this and I also included an email you can contact for any inquiry since they are currently not taking any phone calls

Yes beneficiary is required to have Covid vaccine prior to medical exam. The requirement is only for the beneficiary. Covid vaccine is different than the other mandatory vaccines. They require you to have it and get it before they actually get any medical exams done. The rest of the vaccines you will be able to choose whether to get them done in the USA or country of origin but not the Covid. I’m speaking off of experience but I’ve also read that a majority of countries are doing the same thing

That’s just the email that was sent on Friday. The physical file was likely sent prior

You will use the I-134 only. i-864 is only used once your fiancé arrives in the US

It was a different time. I received it within a month. Processing time are not the same anymore
