I just wanted to know if anyone knew for filing visa papers to bring my dominican love to the states. Would it be better to marry in Dr and file paperwork or better to just file a fiancee visa to bring her here? thanks people!

Visa Question.
It is easier to get married in DR, then have a lawyer file the papers for you.

If you do a search of the archived threads, you will immediately see that getting a visa to bring a boy friend to the US is practically impossible unless there is clear evidence that he has good reasons to return at the end of the visit.
If he has a very good job or profession, has assets in the Dominican Republic, and has other reasons to return, then you may be lucky and get him a visitors' visa for a specific period of time.

I think that is a great idea. Many people want to find out what the experience is like from people that have gone through the long agonizing process before. These questions come up all the time. One central forum for this subject will eliminate repeated questions.
I'm all for it.
People with knowledge about a subject are always welcome to post in all forums.
One doesn't have to be a moderator to do that.
The question is do we need a separate forum to answer immigration questions from different countries?
In my opinion we don't. Most people will give advice of their experience from the country they are from in this legal forum.

As someone who has been on this board for years, I can tell you that "one central forum" will not eliminate repeated questions. The only thing that eliminates some repeated questions is for people with questions to research the dr1 archives before posting a question that has been answered many times.
Having another forum, which I don't think is merited, will make no difference. People will still post the same questions without having done their research.
If we start a forum on this, we should start one on importing a vehicle from the US, one on getting residency, one on medical services, etc., topics that are asked about more frequently than getting a US visa for a Dominican.

IF you are sure K-1 is much much faster.
If you are sure and intend to get hitched then the K1 process is much faster. The paperwork is the same for both (I've used both processes K1 for Wife and youngest child and I130 for other children and youngest when we had to send her back to the DR because of school admission problems). The time for the I-130 process (if you get married in the DR) is three times longer (but it does give you more time to be sure you are compadiable and discover how you or if you can deal with frustration together). You do not need a lawyer for either process and having one will not speed up the process for you (it will however free you from filling out the paperwork) the choice is yours, best of luck. PS A great resource for you would be the Yahoo group didicated to Visa's from the DR is http://groups.yahoo.com/group/K-1visa_DR/ they can answer many of your questions as many of them are going through the process now.
