I Thought That After You File Your I130 And I129f For The K3 Visa That You Could Bring Yourwife To The U.s. While The I130 Application Continues Its Process? Can Anyone Let Me Know If I Am Right?

K1 or K3 you still have to wait on a long list for an interview of at least 2-3 years.

No one can just bring their spouse to the US without that interview.

My fiancee has an interview in December or January (it's been 20 months already), does anyone know about the Dominican cedula that is required for the interview? She is not a Dominican citizen so some people are telling her she has to go to Santo Domingo to get this "ID"? and it takes 3 months and cost 20,000 pesos. Is this true?

tharvey...your post is a bit confusing to me...

Where was your fiance born??? I don't think getting a cedula in DR takes that long or is that expensive...but I might be wrong...

If you give us a bit more info, maybe I could point you in the right direction...

tharvey, she needs a residence card (provisional or permanent). I am not dominican, during my interview (K1 visa in Santo Domingo) they didn't want to see my cedula, just my residence card.

AFAIK, you can't get a cedula without a residence card.

About the time it will take to get the residence card, I am afraid it will be more than 3 months. My first residence card took about 6-8 months to get to me. She can always hire a pushy/well connected lawyer to get it faster.

She will also need her foreign birth certificate and foreign police certificates, hopefully her embassy will be able to help her with that.

Best luck

Jess

cedula

Thanks for the reply, my fiance was born in Haiti, she lives in the DR. The K-1 interview is Dec. 26. Any idea how to get this Dominican ID, where do you go in Santo Domingo? What documents are needed, how long do you wait to get it, and the cost.......Thanks

Did you ask on this website Dominicans to the USA - Index

Are you bringing a fianc?e to the US? The cost of the paper work might not be much but it's the going back and forth to keep a relationship going that would cost far more than some papers. ;)

thanks Anna. i hadn't asked there yet. just been reading over there a lot. i'll try
over there. But to answer your question, Anna, yes....to the fiancee question.
...........our situation is a little different.

I live in the US and she lives in Dominicana. We both study in another country....
together. We've been together for 2 years now...and have some significant time left.
I'm trying to find out what can be done to prepare because we only have about a
month and a half vacation each year and i doubt that we can start the process in this exact time....classes won't allow it, etc, etc.
