Bear with me--I really have no experience with forums. I am trying to find out how to get a Dominican friend to visit me in the US for the summer. I have a landscaping job lined up for him to begin in April and just started looking into visas and passports. I thought that he could just apply like I did and come here as easy as it was for me to get a passport a couple of months ago and visit Punta Cana for a week. NOT SO!! I am overwhelmed with paperwork, fees, questions, etc., then read on a forum that he can apply for a visa but then he may be denied entry when he gets to US Customs. He is definitely coming temporarily as I'm not into any long term committed relationships. Why can't he just get a passport and visit for a few months? What kind of visa can he get? I am so confused and appreciate anyone's guidance. Thanks!
