@Gylla we were married in January 2017 and applied for conditional residency status in March 2017. The approval came in the first part of November, and my wife arrived in the US in late November 2017.Two years for a marriage visa sounds very long to ... Read More

Quickest Way to Get A Dominican into US by kschw9883

I have a GF and I want to know the quickest way to get her into the US.Please help if possible

rms171

There is no quick way to get either of the visas. You apply and get into a queue and wait . You also need to prove authenticity of the relationship, so if you're asking about either a K-1 or a marital visa, most likely you still have work to do as ... Read More

Any advice on what I need to prepare or what i need to bring with me would be appreciated

@kschw9883  Yes there are uniforms. Public schools wear light blue polo shirts and khaki brown pants or skirts. The private schools have their own colors, but also mandate uniforms. Read More

Depends on what you’re doing while there. If in a resort dress to relax. Bring one nice outfit as some resorts require better dress for their nicer restaurants. Sunscreen and lots of $1 bills. The workers value the gratuities. If you’re ... Read More

Stuck is not exactly the word I would use, but....If she comes in under a K-1, you get married, and then file for her authorization to work (as she won't have a green card yet)  and early parole (this let's her leave the US and return).  ... Read More

@DRVisitor The burden of evidence for a K-1 is less because you're not married and typically have nothing to show that anything more than fiancé and fiancée.  They only have pictures, plane tickets, statements from friends, ... Read More

@DRVisitor Yes. That is the point of the K-1.  You bring your fiancé here to marry her within 90 days. The K-1 visa is a one way, one time visa.  From there you prepare what's needed to get her a 2-year conditional permanent ... Read More

@AlaPlaya There are delays, but not nearly the delays that exist for the visitor visas awaiting adjudication in the DR.  I applied in September 2020 to bring my mother in law here to visit us.  After three cancellations, we were not ... Read More

@DRVisitor Yes in both you do provide evidence of authenticity, but the burden of proof is much greater with a CR-1 petition. The government wants proof that the marriage is bona fide, something not achieved by the same level of evidence you ... Read More

@DRVisitor As an American that has (no applause needed) married twice to Dominican citizens, once via a fiancé visa and the other via permanent residency, I will tell you that it depends on what service center your petition is sent ... Read More

Cell phone providers by SFP203

Who is the best cell phone service provider and is it easy to get a cell phone contract? What does one need to do/show to get a contract. Thanks

rms171

As the last poster said it depends on where in the country you are. Generally Claro and Orange (now Altice) offer the best coverage. My wife has used both and found Claro to be better. Our usage has been basically in Puerto Plata and in the ... Read More
