Call Fabio Guzman, he is the *BEST* on the north coast (maybe the whole country). He is at www.drlawyer.comgsupa said:I need a good lawyer to get my cedula + residency.
Some people offered me to get both for $1000...
however they're not lawyers and that is a problem to me
Thanks!
Jan said:I just did mine by myself. Was time consuming and a bit frustrating at times. Trying to understand what was needed. Where to get what was needed. Then how to get to where I had to get what was needed. But its deposited now and all seems to be OK so far. And its sort of satisfying to know that I did it alone. Another learning experience living here in RD.

1st day...went there after doing a bunch of other stuff and found out I was too late.So walked home
2nd day got there at 7. Stood outside in the front of the building in line. When they started letting people into the building I found out I was in the wrong line. I needed to enter from the back of the building. I was in the pasport line. So I was too late again. All the 25 spots were taken. So I walked home again.
3rd day got there at 7:30 in the morn. I got my name on the list. I was number 11. Sat and waited til about 11:30( was lucky 4 people on the list ahead of me must have got tired and left). Was getting my documents checked and the guy that wrote up my document with the 2 people that knew me wrote a cedula number incorrect so I had to go to him and get this corrected.
4th day got there at 6:30 got my name on the list. number 4! Went out and got some breakfast. Returned at 8:30 got in the office about 9:30 deposited my stuff. When it was all OK I did a little dance and cheer. The girls in the office who never smiled were laughing and even the security guard and the information gal were patting me on the back. They got to know me quite well after all those days.
This was my was my experience in the Immigration. There was lots more stuff that happened.
Went to go buy my stamps for the documents. I was told to get in the line and buy the stamps. I didn't know that after I got the stamps had to go to another place to get them stuck on and legalized. I was all happy with the stamps and walked home. Then found out I had to get legalized. Hed to go back the next day and do this.
One good thing. All the walking did me good. Its about 1 hour fast walking to Immigration from my home. Very fast walking. But walking along the Malecon and being able to see the sea...wasn,t too bad. And on the way back home had to make a few beer stops to make it all better.
Still love this country!
