Thanks for the answer! i already made the VAC, i tried to have a emergency appointment they don't responded to me. can you tell me your experience. God blessed you

Call this number and they would be able to help you, explain to them you were approved for expedite. And they will help you further..+1 (809) 567-7775

In my case, I was approved for expedite 03/30/23. My case appeared as ready on the CEAC status check on 4/3/23. I was sent an email with username and password from ustraveldocs on 3/30 and I logged in and tried to create an appointment but when I got to the end of the process it said I needed to wait For approval from the administrator. I called the number above and they advised the same thing, that I needed to wait. I tried two more times to schedule on my own and I guess each time I tried I reset the wait time unfortunately which is why it took longer to get a response. On 4/13 received an email stating my request was approved and I could log back in to schedule my appointments. I called and scheduled vac first then the consular appointment. Hope this helps! The key when speaking to them is making sure you tell them you were approved for expedite!! Otherwise they tell you that you have to wait for an interview email. This is incorrect!

is this you who scheduled an interview? or they give it to you?

I already created an account on USTRAVEL but i only see VAC, etc. no consular appointment

On this website you have to try to create the consular appointment. When it asks you if you’ve done vac you select no, and when it asks what type of catergory you put IV EXPEDITE, at the end it will not let you continue but it will send them a notification. Which they respond to you in about 1-2 days. They send you a message approving you to continue and then you can resume and schedule your vac and consular appointment. Not sure if I explained it all correctly let me know if you understand more or less. You can also private message me and I can help further

Hi. Did you get your interview date ? 
I heard they sent a lot of interview letters last week! 

Hello! They did send alot! I did get my interview date but for expedited cases there’s a new process. You actually go on the ustraveldocs site and schedule your own VAC appointment and interview date.

Then, the consulate might require you to schedule your own interview.  I would contact them for instructions.

Contacting them has been useless. I get these automated responses saying I need to wait. When I call I speak with representatives literally reading from a script. The last message I received that seemed a bit more personalized said they received my case in the embassy and that I neee to wait for further instructions

When was your case DQ'd?

It was DQ’d 01/11/23. But I requested an expedite and it was approved 03/30/23.

Hello! My case status has been sitting in “Ready” since 04/03. Still no interview email sent to me. Anyone else go through this?

Submitting numerous expedite requests after they have declined your request is futile, and it just wastes their time.

They approved my request for expedite, after sending the request over 10x

I'm a U.S. citizen and living in Santo Domingo with my husband. We got our DQ email on March 10th for our CR1 visa. Reading through these comments worries me that it will be months longer. Anyone have a recent update on their interview?

Hello! No updates yet. We got our DQ email January 11 and we are still waiting for an interview date. Seems the wait is about 4-5 months.

I know. It use to be about 2.5-3 months around the summer and fall of last year but then they got behind. Hoping they start to catch back up for everybody else that is still waiting. I know that they have cleared up to at least Oct 27 DQ this round when they gave out interviews

I wonder if that’ll be it for this month, or if they will give out more interview dates. I’m all the way in JAN. My dq date is 01/11. And we are expecting a baby girl in May

My DQ date was Oct 19. So I was waiting almost 5 months for this letter

So disappointed in the wait time. I thought interview wait was at least 1-3 months!

Hey! We just got our interview letter for beginning of May! I’m not sure how long the wait is for your category. Wish I had more information to give you. Good luck!

Hello! What was your DQ date? How long were you waiting for interview?

Anyone have any updates from Santo Domingo? I saw some updated CR1 timelines on here with interviews scheduled for Mid May. We just got our 3rd 60 day notice last week so we are over the half year mark. 

I am in a group where lots of interviews came in for May, however those were all people waiting for interviews since Sept/Oct. Looks like the wait is about 4-5 months for interviews unfortunately.

Your previous posts indicate you are already in the queue for an interview, and it appears you are trying to expedite due to pregnancy.  

Right, not only pregnancy but complications within pregnancy making it high risk where physical support is needed from my spouse

Yea I know. I just hit 4 months and 1 week and I’m so ready for that letter. Hoping to hear something soon.

I got DQ on Oct 19, 2022 and am still waiting for my interview letter. Hoping to hear something either this week or next month

Any updates?

Any comments about your expedite requests experiences appreciated here! 
 

I have submitted numerous expedite requests. About (6) so far. The last two have been send and responded with an answer on the same day. They have came back the same day advising they “sent my case to consulate” and my case cannot be expedited.

Are these automated messages? How can they possibly send my case to consulate and determine it cannot be expedited on the same exact date I send the request?

When did you get your dq email?

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

Ugh I’ve seen this online! I hear they are still working on cases dq’d in September, I really did not think the wait would be 4-6 months for an interview. It’s crazy.

Yes.... Make sure that when your interview arrives you have to upload the pictures of your relationship in the CEAC platform, they will see that and the first question that they will asked like I told my husband... where did you guys met? ALL papers has to be originals when he go inside just in case they ask for it.

Thank you for the heads up!

I’m hoping so too. I really hope to hear some good news within the next month. I’ve already been waiting 4 months 

I submitted an expedite request due to my high risk pregnancy. They say pregnancy is not cause for expedite but I am hoping they have some consideration for my situation. *fingers crossed*

Good morning... I was DQ back on October 2021 and I not did get my interview until May 2022... Hope this year will get process faster since they opened the embassy at full capacity.

Hello! Is this for a CR1?

Thank you for sharing! You have been waiting quite a while! I am 7 months pregnant with our daughter and I hoped he would be here by May 2023. At this rate I am starting to think it will take much longer.

Hello! Hoping anyone can shed some light on their experience. We received my husband's DQ'd email on January 11, 2023. We've been waiting 29 business days for a interview date. How long does this take?
