Attempt #2: clarrification
First off, to be more exact, I am currently a US citizen and a temporary resident in the DR by going through the “Window of Investment” however, I now believe (correctly or incorrectly as the case maybe) (and since my real estate post) due to (a person I believe is) an immigration attorney at the Santiago Immigration office that it is an all but ‘foregone conclusion’ that when I renew my residency, November/December 2008, and I should receive LPR status in the DR shortly after that. I may be incorrect in what I believe however, either way, this is a seemingly unimportant, unrelated and seemingly unnecessary detail for the immigration case and it’s seems that I should have excluded it entirely. Also, I did not want extend an already LONG post with all of these details.
Secondly, regarding the woman I love. The general public, including both of us, in the DR refers to us as married however, we have no specific official paperwork to support this. Because of that, I believe I have to call her my gf in the eyes of the US. I don’t think I can call the woman I love “my wife” in the eyes of the US because of this lack of paperwork. I am thinking that the US consulate seems like they would think it was a joke. For every other purpose, except those that do NOT condone or honor this common law marriage, we are married. Once again, I left this explanation out as to not to muddy the waters with this seemingly unimportant detail. Also, I did not want extend an already LONG post with all of these details.
In the future, I will try to be more exact and explicative, sorry.
