The "program" served it's purpose,to make the Dominican people THINK their government was doing SOMETHING about the "Haitian Problem" here in the DR.
When the program went "VIRAL" the international community came down HARD on the DR government.
They "caved", nothing new there, and not much happened, and it's now dropped!!
"WRONG AGAIN PICHARDO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

there are numerous threads about this but i think this is kinda most useful one:

it's very long, i know.
what to do next depends on what you have. a friend has a neat stamp in the passport and basically have two years to complete regular residency process (without the residency visa part). so gather the papers, submit to immigration, pay fees, that kind of stuff.
Are you saying that eventhough I wasted a few nights and days and quite a bit of money obtaining this 2 year Visa I still have to pay the "Overstay" fee when leaving?
DV8, mayhaps you can help me here. I was gone for 4 months and recently told that while i was in Tennessee that there was posted a list here on DR1 about people who had started the process receiving a stamp and was told my name was on that list. Do you know if it is too late to get my stamp,and where to go for it?
Thanks

To check if your name is on the list http://mip.gob.do/index.php/consulta-regularizacon if yes you must visit the "Edificio de Oficinas Gubernamentales Juan Pablo Duarte" (Huacal), since the provincial centre are closed.
check if your name is there: http://mip.gob.do/index.php/documentos-pnre
i would go directly to the place where you applied in POP, next to the police. there is a chance they may still be issuing them - don't know. but for sure they will tell you more. and move ya butt, they started giving the carnets in the summer last year...
Surely not, but no one know what is happening when the 2 year stamp expire, actually nothing is explained at Direcci?n General de Migraci?n for this case.
Thanks. Cannot find my name on any of these lists. Will go manana to where I filled out the paperwork with my new passport and a copy of the old one as well as the paperwork I filled out there last Feb or March.
The 2 year stamp is to give you time to become a legal resident going through the same process that others qualify to become legal residents with one notable exception. You do not have to return to your home country to start the process. You can do it all here in the DR.
But you do have to qualify on all of the other requirements. Most people, the vast majority in the regularization program, will not qualify to become legal residents and will become illegal when those stamps expire.
This was all part of the plan.
article 40 stipulate "Art?culo 40.- Renovaci?n o cambio de categor?a. Todo extranjero que
adquiera un estatus migratorio de conformidad con el presente plan y que
est? sujeto a renovaci?n o a cambio de categor?a, deber? proceder de
conformidad con la normativa sobre la materia."
The problem is that in the migracion law there is nothing relating to the PNRE case.
