and btw...
with the new I-24/7 systems installed in most countries, just about any piece of info can be gathered...
the hole in that net is that some countries have not yet explored the system in depth so doing a check on somebody may take hours if not more.... and if you have a flight to catch i doubt they'll delay you unless they REALLY suspect you of something...
in the U.S and AUSTRALIA, border officials have adapted the system quite well and so within 10-15 minutes, they are able to dig up just about anything they want (pertaining to your passport information/fingerprints).
they are still far from adapting DNA information retrieval that the I-24/7 was built to assist... but within a few years im sure the U.S will be on top of that too.
today's borders are tightning at an incredible pace!
and although i understand this forum is about LEGAL immigration to the wonderful DOMINICAN REPUBLIC, its in everybody's interest to at least be aware of the changes taking place as we speak.
