Hi!thx for the replies.I went to the site of uasd and they ask for highschool records,passport,highschool diploma,birth certificate (allof that legalized and translated) and some other minor things like photos and applicarion forms that i will do there.I have all that already so i am prepared i believe.They also need my curicula(classes i have passed so far) but that is between the two unis because it says they need it sent to them directly and one copy to syyscet.So all i could do I did already.What do you think about that?and its ok then to just say i'm visiting huh?howmuch is the fee for overstaying and can authorities send me back if i pay my fee?I heard a students visa takes like 1 month or 2 to be ready.
I think you should remember to bring a big bottle of Tylenol extra strength because you're in for a big headache (also a couple of spaces or tabs in your text wouldn't hurt because it hurts my head too).
Forms need to be translated by an approved translator and stamped and notarized. Then sent to the dominican embassy in your country. Past grades need to be translated and not just highschool. I was even asked for my 6-8th grade notes.
Then you need to take those notes go the court house, get a few more special stamps then you need to send your notes to Sec. of Edu and get a special stamp and wax.
That is just part of the shuffle. I think you said you got somethings translated, that's a good start. Really, really hope you did all this before or else as I said before, be prepared to buy a return ticket home.
About the authorities, yes just say you are visitng and yes if you pay your dinero they will let you out. It won't be 'too much' depends on how much you over stay. 5 years and up i think is about 19,000 pesos?
Not that it's any of my concern but why does it seem like everyone is going the UASD lately? What exactly is so attractive about frequent, violent strikes and no-show teachers? It couldn't possibly be that cheap to make it justifiable in anyway.
Just please don't say that it's because PUCMM is surrounded by little fat men with shotguns or else I think you'll quickly find a very irate hillbilly in this thread.
Also try the search function. Someone just posted about getting into the UASD

p.s. Does your Uni understand that the mail service here is very unreliable? You should make that point so that they give you the transcripts and you can turn it in by hand. Just make sure it is sealed by wax/tape/whatever.
