At the suggestion of OP franco1111, I am reposting this residency renewal problem on the legal forum
in the hopes of getting some clarification of the 'catch-22' in which my wife and I have been ensnared.
Our renewal application has been rejected because we cannot show that our monthly
Social Security payments are being deposited into a Dominican bank.
This requirement was not known to us during the months spent getting the documentation
from the US and Dominican authorities. Nor can I find this requirement in any documentation,
web page or notification associated with the renewal application. Nevertheless, the migration office in
PP says that the application cannot be approved, and that I must petition the government to change our
status from 'retiree' to 'normal'. Can anything be done to salvage our efforts to maintain
our current residency status?
