Ask the Consul
Visa in hand equals travel plans
In general, both residency and nonimmigrant visas cannot be issued and delivered to applicants the same day of interview. The U.S. consular section in Santo Domingo uses a private courier company to deliver issued visas to applicants for a moderate fee. If your visa is approved, the interviewing officer will hand you a ticket which you take immediately to the courier service counter located in the main waiting area inside the consular section building. After paying the delivery fee your visa will generally arrive within two weeks. If you are applying for a residency visa and documents are missing you will be told what to do to complete your file and likely be told to pay messenger service at the same time. If a problem comes up with your case after your interview you will be contacted as to what next steps need to be taken. Please do NOT book a flight or otherwise make travel plans until you have your passport with the issued visa in your hands.
