Holy cow, Jim, this is provoking within me...
What would surely be one of the funniest series of scenarios I have ever thought about!!

It is relatively easy for Dominicans to get a visa to many countries in Europe (relative to the getting a visa to visit the USA or Canada), including Germany, Holland, Italy, and Switzerland. I've met dozens that have had vacations over there paid for by their sweethearts while almost none have been able to visit the USA or Canada under similar circumstances.
Advice to applicants: During the interview, don't lie. Don't tailor your answers - they've heard it all before and you will come off as dishonest. Get a letter of invitation from the party you will be visiting, sent from the consulate of the country to be visited (the host needs to arrange this).
I propose the following contest
1) Write
that letter as if
you were the person requesting that this person (male or female) visit you in , say, Germany.
2) Write the Following Dialogue:
Consular Official: "I see you want to visit
Place the name the country here.?
Applicant:
You take it from there. That is, you write what the Dominican applicant will say. And the rest of the dialogue.
If there are more than five submissions, I will give away a pewter beer mug to the winning submission.
IF the submissions are really bad, I will ask a non-participating personage to give a verdict. But be warned, I have to laugh!
HB, in a really wierd mood today!!
