The Age Old Question: SIgh.
He said essentially what I did about a fiance visa allowing her to enter the US, but then she comes home to the DR and might be able to get a visitor's visa because she proved she would return to the DR. I don't recommend this approach since it borders on visa fraud.
Well, maybe that is what he meant.
Only exception would be if she also has family in the states, then it sort of makes sense, in fact makes it stronger.. She gets a A K1 visa, and she does not get married in the 90 days,, returns to the DR, leaving not just her Fiance but also even her family... thats a solid Visa Candidate.. for next time.. just my .02 & dont forget, the DOM families who have ties in both the USA and back home in DR travel back and forth, thats really good for the DR Economy, dont think for a minute thats not also a major consideration. They do look at the whole picture.
if the only person she knew was the Fiance and his Family, thats a very unlikely visa candidate next time. She will be viewed as desperate next time around event hough she returned as required.

Thanks. I checked Panama. There's a bunch of paperwork. The ones I like are those that have either NO visa requirements or a fee to be paid uponarrival!!
Can't one of the guys she spent the last 4 months with help her get a visa for, Italy, Spain, or,...."El Swiso"?????????
Just a thought.

On a more serious note, not throwing judgements around......
My MIL, once flew through the US a couple of years ago, to visit us in europe. Couldnt tell u the process, since my wife does all that, but plane ticket and nothing else......whaam, US visa.
Another time she went to visit her sister or cousin in NY. Relative organised it from the US side, from the dr side, all that was required was the round trip ticket......
Oh and MIL is poor, so why not give it a try ?? No harm in that.
All that said, its a great idea to let the US based relatives do the process....... if she dosnt fly home to the dr......its THEIR problem......and not yours.

She wants marriage thereby cutting to the core of the issue with a spouse visa. If she is this duplicitous to you before she gets it then imagine what will happen AFTER she gets it?

i remember a few yrs back....at panama immig. they were questioning a dom lady...all the wrong answers... not enough $ on person. no family no proper address etc turned her right around and sent her back to the d.r.
Guess some guys have to buy round trip tickets and propose a US visa, to keep an unemployed and penniless Dominican female on the hook....I heard just a cold Presidente will do the trick (in that demographic)
P.S. Hope shes fine as frogs hair

It is my understanding that the US Consulate is less demanding of older applicants for a tourist visa. For example, men between certain ages had an extra form to complete, based simply on age. That might be why your MIL was able to get the tourist visa.
and put also Costa Rica on your list, for spending a nice vacay with here where a tourist visa is easy.

I think that visas for Dominicans are harder to get now that before. The problem is that you need to pay a rather large application fee to get them to look at her visa, and if she is denied, the fee is non refundable: no hay devoluciones, as they say. One method is that you could supply her with a large amount of dollars to show the consul officer that she has enough to live on, boit then again, the problem might arise that she will tell you the same thing : she does not do refunds, either. This is not from personal experience, but an acquaintance of mine once told be of this chick in Boca Chica who pulled this on him and flew the coop after a month or so in the US, never to be seen again, at least by him. I recall thinking that if I were a girl that looked like her, I might not want to spend a lot of time looking at him, either. Plus, he drank a lot and tended to emit an inordinate amount of spittle when he was enthusiastically trying to make his point.
What is it they say? Women see a guy and want to change him. Men see a woman and want her to stay the same. Neither ever seems to realize that these are unrealistic attitudes, when considered over a period of years.
But of course, every case is different.

I was talking about the hypocrisy of Dominicans traveling to the US on tourist visas, and then looking for employment while the government of the DR is threatening deportation to anyone living or working in the country without the proper paperwork. Itg appears that is OK for Dominicans to work illegally in the US, but not OK for gringos to come to the DR and retire or work without documentation.
I never mentioned Haitians, you did.
right.
and as far as Haitians go, even that their situation in DR is unique compared to others,
they are by immigrations laws the same as every gringo, simply a foreigner.
just not as easy to get rid of, as the DR Transportation systems are no capable to bord them all on the new Metro Line towards the West within just one year or so.
Pichardo!!!!
when will the new line get its needed additional Trains running?
