How long does the K1 visa process take for the Dominican Republic?

Answer:

FAQ image
A K-1 visa allows a U.S. citizen to sponsor their fiancé(e) from the Dominican Republic so they can enter the United States and marry within 90 days of arrival. The process involves the U.S. citizen filing a petition and the fiancé(e) attending an interview at the U.S. Embassy in Santo Domingo. Typically, processing a K-1 visa takes 10–16 months, though specific timelines and costs may vary based on individual cases and potential administrative delays.
Note: The US Embassy in Santo Domingo has reported a significant backlog of fiance visas because many of the applicants do not correctly complete the application form or are missing supporting documentation. To reduce this backlog, these cases are simply being returned to the National Visa Center causing 2-6 month delays for k1 visa applicants until they can correctly complete their applications and resubmit them.

If you have done the application correctly, you can have your K1 visa application completed within 4-7 months.
