What does the form or letter say that a sponsor needs to sign?
What else does the sponsor need to do or say?

If I know those answers maybe I could pay someone to be my sponsor?

Thanks, Bob

We are going from temporary to permanent residency this month and use the Guzman office.

We are told to bring new photos..... all the information from the original application for temporary residency still applies.

No mention of sponsors, etc. but maybe they cover all that for us.?

there is no special requirement about sponsor finacial situation. At least, no special reqiurement appears in governemnt website.But I need to confirm this on the ground .For the provisioanl residency, sponsor need to own a property , car or have 10000 peso in his bank account.
The sponsor had to promise that he has to take care of you finacially if you cannot support yourself including living cost medical cost and deportation cost. Basicly, it is empty promise because no mechanisim in DR to enforce it. It is mechanism to enable lawyer to make money out of it. The lawyer always sponser his client because they know that it will never be enforced. I do not think you can easily find some person in this board because most people here come from industrial countries and when yhey see the promis in paaper and they connect their home country legal sysem. Lawyer use this conception difference to make money from us. All detail requirement you can find in dr immigration department website

Did you use the Guzman law firm the first time to get permanent residency?

When you say that all the information from the original application still applies do you mean that the letters of guarantee are in your files from your temporary residency and they can be used for your permanent residency without going through the original law firm or people who supplied them? Please find this out.

I would think it would be hard to find someone to sponsor me UNLESS THE PAPERWORK FROM THE TEMPORARY RESIDENCY IS STILL IN THE FILES AND CAN BE USED BY IMMIGRATION TO GET MY PERMANENT RESIDENCY WITHOUT THEM CONTACTING MY PREVIOUS LAWYER WHO MAY BE TICKED OFF THAT HER PREVIOUS PAPERWORK IS BEING USED AND THIS TIME (GOING TO PERMANENT RESIDENCY) SHE IS NOT MAKING ANY MONEY OFF OF IT.

I need some feedback please, Bob

I think permenant residency application is seperate application because you submit again basicly some kind of paper work again.The sponsor could be different from first time. My situation is same as yours. I just comfirm from immigration that anybody with dominican citizenship or permenant residency can be a sponsor for permenat resident application ( the second time )

We sponsored someone in the last year, not for money, I hasten to add. He is a friend. And yes they can enforce the deportation cost quite easily, which is why you would never get an existing resident worth his salt doing this for a complete stranger. Too many risks. If the person turned out to be a fugitive from justice in another country, I can promise you that the resident would be opening themselves up to all sorts of unnecessary hassle.

It is good to know that even a person with permanent residency can be my sponsor. But how many sponsors does a person need? I heard it was two?

I agree with you as what you said pertains to the risk of being a sponsor for the temporary residency. If a person is going from temporary residency to permanent residency that person has been already checked out by a law firm in the D.R. and they went through the interpol check and have been found to not be a fugitive from justice
by reason of the fact that their temporary residency was approved.

So the second time when a person applies for permanent residency the sponsor(s) can rest assured that just a few months previously the person they are going to sponsor was already checked out and given a full bill of legal health which they can prove with their temporary residence card. They could not have gotten that if they were a fugitive from justice.

We'll agree to differ then. There is nothing which would convince me to sponsor a total stranger.
