Hi all,
I was born and raised in Brooklyn (USA), New York. My parents were born and raised in Puerto Rico. My parents are very Puerto Rican and proud of that fact. I on the other hand, being raised in Brooklyn, NY, have been molded, influenced and/or bred in and by the USA so I am quite Americanized. Speaking spanish isn't easy for me and I rarely try to because I have such a hard time with it. I understand it provided you don?t speak so fast, I can read it although I always have to pull out my English/Spanish dictionary a lot of the times and, I can make the best tasting arroz con gandules as well as many other latin dishes.
I have visited both Puerto Rico and Dominican Republic and I have decided to immerse myself into the latin culture/language/living? and I want to do it in DR. My intention is to either build or buy a home in DR (not sure of exact city yet) hopefully within the next 2 to 3 years. I want to become a citizen of DR.
People (mainly dominicanos) here in New York tell me that DR won?t allow me to become a citizen (they never really answer my question, why?) and/or there are no opportunities in DR and that is the main reason the folks in DR are desperately trying to find a way out of the country. My dominican friends look at me like I?m nuts or out of my mind. Whatever! Anyway, I?d like to know the best possible steps for becoming a citizen. What do I need to do or know within the next 2 to 3 years to ensure a problem free flight to my new home in DR? Web links or any other information would be greatly appreciated. Comments or questions are welcomed!
Gracias! David
