Thanks, for the info.

We see each other several times a year. (Usually every month or so) So the seeing each other in person is not problem. I wanted her to see the US first hand before committing to coming to live here. I think the US is great (not perfect) but great none-the-less. However it is different from the DR and would take some getting adjusted to. I was worried that if she tried for a visitor visa and got rejected she would not be able to apply for the Fiance visa either for a year. From your answer it sounds like we don't have to worry about that. Thanks again.
