As we say in the States, Bon apetit!
Belmont;There is a fee for filing,when I did it for my Cubana ex. was $400.but it goes up all the time,now is probably double,the paper work is not that bad,you may not need a lawyer(I did not)normal stuff back ground,an oral test,and always answer their mail request,it is actually easier than it should.
Just wondering. I have an employee who insists she needs to pay an attorney. He has quoted her a fee of $8500 including all filing fees. This sounds high to me so I checked another immigration attorney. His fee was almost the same. I'd hate to tell her that she should do it herself and it get screwed up though.
It's been a long time since my husband applied for his citizenship - he's had it for 30 years, back then I think the filing fee was $20. :surprised We didn't use a lawyer, it's not really that complicated. You just have to read everything carefully and be sure to provide everything they ask for when they ask for it.
Belmont, Since we start the process for the green card about five years ago I've seen the application fees are double that it was.
The application for citizenship right now is US $ 680.00 Dollars.
My wife is the one who did the whole process from the beginning to now, all have to do is visit the USCIS web site for information, you can download the applications forms right there. For support sing up for an account on Dominican Immigration - Dominicans to the USA - Index they will have the right answer for your questions.

Belmont; When I did it was very simple filing the forms,you can request them by contacting their web site,I had them mail to me (a few years ago)I had no problems,I requested her from Cuba w/o attorney and the first time I filed the wrong form,did it with the new form and it went through she was here in 9 months.Now is even more simple.I remember I had to go to one of the location for tracking (laguna nigel)but that was all.Attorneys are to be used if you have a problem they are too expensive in my opinion
I think it is a shame that this attorney is preying on this girl. Like clockwork, she drops off a $200 check at his office every payday. I think she will be coincidently approved right around the time she completes paying the entire fee. Sort of like when my kids teeth were straight right around the time I paid the orthodontist his last payment.
Only reason she needs an attorney is if she has a serious criminal history. Other than that she can safely save her money, or maybe you can charge her half that and do it yourself...
