Hi hillbilly,
yes it probably comes across as a rush decision as I am lagging in specific documentation required, I think visiting certain sites and being confident that there would not be so much to it has left me behind a bit. I was under the impression a full birth certificate translated by an official to the embassy and my passport was going to be enough. Now I see I need an affidavit of my single status. The form I have downloaded and looks very basic and straight forward, just me my parents and an official stamp and signature of a similar status lawyer who has translated my birth certificate, correct?
but just as we are about to get things done I read of something called a CNI form, which I have never heard of before, Never mind know what it is, and, I am to notify the local press to announce my plans to marry, I can't believe this!
I would prefer to get this in the country to avoid the costs of flying out and back in again, and so am hoping there is going to be a fast track way around this.
Hopefully like you say someone will be around to confirm my concerns or dismiss them as too much site jumping and confusing myself.
Also I don't see the process as very costly, quite cheap in fact for a civil marriage, do you know of costs I am yet to be surprised by?
There are several years together in DR, children between us, although I never got residency. I don't consider the decision is a rush, probably a bit slow if anything, although yes, I can see how someone being so badly prepared could be seen a rushing into it.
Thanks again.
