anything up for a sweetheart invite....you pay for it in u,s, she returns unmarried in specified time frame.... bingo gets visa next year to visit agaion...not as sweetheart but visitor visa...
I'm not following. Can you explain?

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.
Gotta agree with bob for the first time. She has a chance - its one in ten million. How many of those New York and Boston Doms are illegal? Lots. Take her to Panama for a vacay. They require a visa but its no big deal.
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.

PS, THE WOMEN IN Colombia are "Better" than Dominicanas, "Fly Solo"!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
To the OP-if your girlfriend has relatives in the US, let THEM handle getting this young lady to the states. Why are you trying to do someone elses' job for them?
It's obvious from what she has has going for her (no job, no money, no assets) that she's not getting a travel visa. This process is NOT a crapshoot. There is no "gray" area.
And if she's convinced she can get one despite her circumstances, tell her to stop with the Dominican magical thinking that the rules don't apply to her.
At the frontier between Panama and Costa Rica it says that Dominicans have to present at least $1000 USD as spending money to enter Panama. A foto of that sign has been posted on this forum. One of the Franks, if I remember right.
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.
Hey, Mr. Cdn: Thanks for the great Wikipedia link! This is an example of why I appreciate DR1 forums. We are checking Colombia as a possibility. Flying from SDQ to Bogota, round-trip, for two adults, costs only $450.00. This is a strong possibility. Ecuador and Bolivia are further and double the price. The flight to Colombia is only five hours . . .
And, yes, she is asking her family in the U.S. to pursue a visa on her behalf.
I believe La Profre_1 was referring to foreigners (gringos) not Haitians in her comment.
Worry not, nobody can follow chic's posts.
She was referring to Dominicans.
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.
