Consulate Review: Dominican Republic Review Topic: Other Experience Event Description Review Date : June 17, 2021 Embassy Review : I had my consular appointment on 06/15/21 at 9:45am in Santo Domingo. Although the consular officer who interviewed my fiancé and I was nice, I did feel like our interview was longer than usual. I think everyone’s experience and case is different. In our case we were asked more than 15 questions. I knew the consular would focus on my fiancé’s divorce so I wanted to make sure I was present at the interview. Here are the questions I remember: When and how did you meet? How long have you been together? How many times has she been to the country? When was the last time she came? What do you guys do together? What’s his favorite food? What are your wedding plans? Have you ever traveled to the USA or any other country? Have you ever been convicted? Have any of you been married before? Do any of you have kids? Why did you divorce your ex wife? Where is your ex wife from? Do you usually date Americans? Have you ever applied for a visa? Where does your fiancé live and are you familiar with California? Where does she work? Do you make enough to financially support him? Rating : Moderate

*Notice about estimates: The estimates are based off averages of other members recent experiences
(documented in their timelines) for the same benefit/petition/application at the same filing location.
Individual results may vary as every case is not always 'average'. Past performance does not necessarily
predict future results. The 'as early as date' may change over time based on current reported processing
times from members. There have historically been cases where a benefit/petition/application processing
briefly slows down or stops and this can not be predicted. Use these dates as reference only and do not
rely on them for planning. As always you should check the USCIS processing times to see if your application
is past due.
