I am a US citizen and I have lived here in the DR for a long time and am a legal resident here. I have a Dominican wife and we have been married for almost two years. I am planning on filing for a US immigration visa for her. I have read that a DCF is the fastest way to go. However, a DCF requires filing an I-130 and, from what I can see, an I-130 requires me to be a US resident - which I am not. This seems like a "Catch-22" since other types of immigration visas also require an I-130(?).
I only return to the US occasionally for short visits. I don't own any property there. Are DCF's still possible here in the DR?
Any suggestions as to how to best go about this would be greatly appreciated. Also, is it best to use a lawyer here in the DR, in the US, or is it easy enough to do it myself?
Thanks.
