Here's a thread on Dominican passports to get you started on the passport question.
Thanks, but this isn't really answering all of my question, i'll elaborate...the reason i am asking is that i'd like it explained to me in english. Im looking for the process to obtain a passport and then visa to US. The family member that i am inquiring about was basically already granted the visa, so i don't need to know about how u need so much in the bank, etc....the problem was the counsel said before they grant her a visa she has to bring the passport of her two children with her and obtain visas for them as well. For whatever reason the counsel will not let her come and leave the kids with her mother.
So, im wondering if someone could give me the steps, and costs, and time. From one of the links i read that the passport costs 1500 pesos and takes about 6 days (there is also a vip service). Thats something i was wanting to know. Now, once you've got your passport then where do you take it? San Pedro? Santo Domigo? Correct me if im wrong (here is where i need the help), but doesn't one have to purchase an appointment to meet with the counsel and does this cost approximately 100 USD? If so, isn't the waiting time approx one month? Would she have to pay $300 dollars, an appt for her, and her two daughters? And finally, if granted a visa, do they give you the visa that day? Pick it up another day?
The last i heard was that she had given the passports to "some guy" who was supposed to bring them to San Pedro for some reason and i honestly have no idea why she would have some guy do this or what he was actually going to do for her. Supposively this is what the guy does for people but he "lost" her papers. Anyways, i'd like to have the process explained to me in english rather than spanish.
Ok, think i got a better idea of how it works now. This is what i've found.
1. passport photos ~100 pesos same day
2. Passport ~1500 pesos 6 days or less if VIP
you can do this in San Pedro
3. Appointment for visa ~$100 USD can purchase appt at a bank like BP
about a one month wait approx
4. Santo Domingo is where you go for appointment and bring passport, applications, proof, all the things u need for appointment.
Am i missing anything? My last question would be, since sister in law is also applying for passports for two of her daughters, does she need to purchase 3 appointments at a bank at 100 USD a piece?
