K1 Advice
You need to read between the lines on these things. I would guess (based on experience) that something provided (and they will not tell you what) does not check out. More than likely it is on the Dominican side of the ledger (Birth Dates, places, past marrages etc.) since many records in the DR have been tampered with (for various reasons) the embassy if in its investigation of the provided documents notices that the documents provided or the doccuments on either side of them have been seamingly tampered with. The other reason can be past experiences with family members (even with no contact existing between the parties).
The only help you can get is from your Senators and Congress persons (you will need to put pressure on these people to get them to act though). If the congress person's staff person whohandels immigration cases is contacted and they don't take no for an answer when the embassy tells them know (it does almost everytime the first time they request a hearing) you can get results with in 60 to 90 days. But you need to be sure of all of your facts and that all of the things you told the embassy are truthful and correct or the office will be embarrised and not help you in the future and you will need their help again durring this process trust me. The Dominican Embassy is currently trying to leverage more money out of congress and is claming that they can not handle the current case load, that it is short on funding and personel. Currently they say that they will be scheduling no additional interviews until May. Good luck - Hope my advice helps
