There is no such thing as a fiancee visa to DR. You just go there and become his fiancee. Your tourist card is good for 30 days, and you can file for temporary, then permanent, residency. If you marry him, you can file for naturalization as a Dominican citizen after 6 months of marriage, bypassing all the residency 'stuff'.
No one here is going to tell you marrying a Dominican is a great idea, despite the fact that MANY of the posters here are married to them. There are good ones [I've been married to one for just about 37 years], but we all know so many of the "other" kind that we keep our mouths shut.
Sounds like you're going into this with your eyes wide open - great first step.
It's funny when people say, you are from a rich country. That might be true but I'm not rich and never have been. So if you think for one moment I'm not familiar with the vultures that circle around poor people you are mistaken. I grew up around them, all day everyday. Violence, poverty, all of it. So none of that frightens me.
And yet, I don't think there is a financially stable dominican without a US visa. Any dominican without a US visa is because:
- He doesn't have the paperwork to prove he has ties to DR (a business or a job, a decent car, etc) and he is not going to stay illegally
- He's been rejected before (usually several times).
- He had it but was cancelled.
None of these causes seem compatible with anyone who has owned a successful business for 10 years.
The typical "I could have it, but I've never applied because I don't care" is BS.
Thank you for being real about this! As much as I appreciate the benefit of others experiences, I don't believe in judging an entire race or culture based on prevailing perceptions. I am Black, it happens to me far too often to inflict that on anyone else. I respect people enough to let them show me who they are (not tell me).
Let em be clearer, when I say successful I mean he is able to support himself and his son financially. He is not rich, I am not rich. I do not know the reason he doesn't have a US visa, perhaps it's because he has no reason to come to the US right now. In any case, I am moving to DR (had already decided that before I met him) so why he doesn't have a US visa really wasn't a topic of conversation.

I love to gamble, 8-10 months and the tears will flow. Bet ?
Have you ever heard the phrase, misery loves company? LOL Listen, I appreciate you responding to my question, albeit a useless response, but I would appreciate even more if you would keep your negativity over there with you where it belongs. A man who takes care of himself and his child with an honest days work does not deserve ridicule, regardless to what kind of job he has. And as for the 8-10 months, you would be a fool to make that bet with me honey. I don't lose often, but even when I do lose a battle, I find a way to win the war.
That was exactly what I was thinking, at what point does this start to sound racist, classist, prejudiced, stereotypical etc...... I'm all for being realistic, but not at the expense of common decency and respecting other cultures and people as individuals.
You better be drop dead gorgeous as well
Just kidding, good luck !
actually, there in much more than just kidding in that remark. you make a mountain of sense. i have no idea what the OP looks like but if, and this is a big IF, you look like some of these women from places like Idaho that i see roaming the beaches on the North Coast. you better have a high level of tolerance for infidelity.
