Hi everyone! I came from Philippines and was granted a Temporary visa. We arrived here in DR last August 30. We went immediately to immigration to have our medical and picture for our residency papers. Up to now we havent receive our papers. Would you know how long before it can be release? And can we not start a job yet even if we dont have our papers? Please let us know as we dont know the process. Thanks

Temporary Residency
As far as the job goes, it depends on your employer.
I worked here for 10 years with no "Papers"

It is absolutely normal to have to wait for at least 3 months, 6 months is more realistic.Hi everyone! I came from Philippines and was granted a Temporary visa. We arrived here in DR last August 30.

But is it okay to work while waiting for our papers since we technically have a residency visa? We're planning to work in a call center.. Thanks

Do you have a receipt of some sort from Immigration indicating that your papers have been filed? If so, that should be enough if you are concerned. It is not your fault nor the fault of your employer that the process moves slowly.
However as Criss Colon said, depending on the employer, working without papers is not that uncommon...or at least not until now.
Wow! I never thought that I can do that. Maybe for now we can just show our passport with our resident visa stamped to it. Hope my future will accept it while waiting for our residency papers. We're just worried because I read something that we might be considered as illegal working here and might be deported.
