denied visas

tfaivre · #1 03-15-2002, 06:11 PM

Please help! My dominican boyfriend of 2 years and I have been trying to get him to the USA. We started with a visitor visa which they denied because they felt he didn't have enough ties to his home.
Well, we are now in the process of a fiance visa and I was told that he has "0" chance of getting it approved due to the first denial. Our only other option is to get married in the D.R. but I can't stay the 30days that the D.R. requires. How can we do this to avoid the 30 day stay?
How much money would it take? I am going there 3/20 so we have to work fast. Thanks tf

I am not a lawyer and i dont know anything about law, maybe Fabio Guzman can help you better. but what you are thinking to do, married to get a visa, in USA it is called INMIGRATION FRAUD. and they will denied the visa again.

John, How can it be immigration fraud when I want to marry him and he wants to marry me? We probably should have done the fiance visa first. Thanks tf

As John has said, your chances, at this point, are near zero, zip, nada. Once you've been denied then you have to wait a certain period of time before you apply again. I'm not versed in the applicable laws, this is just my observation from what has been posted here. Good luck and talk to a lawyer . . .

regards,

you said that the only option that you have is to get married. that's mean that you are getting married because he needs a visa. that's is inmigraton fraud. and the USA consul know that.

I have always been told never apply for a tourist visa for a boyfriend or girlfriend because of this problem. However there was a case recently in the DR when the couple went to the interview for the fiance visa, they were told get married first and come back in 6 months. This was told to them by the consulate.

I believe they make it as hard as possible to see if you will give up. If this is the case then you need to call your congress person and see what your options are. Sometimes a call to the consulate from tehir office is all that is needed.

Also I have never heard of the 30 day requirement. Is this something that is new?

You need to talk to a lawyer versed in US migration law, which Fabio Guzman is not.

For instance, in Santo Domingo, have your boyfriend contact Yadira Morel who has offices at Plaza Metropolitana on Av. JF Kennedy in Santo Domingo. Can't find the telephone at this point, but she has a big sign up that is visible from the avenue, so it's easy to reach her. She also answers questions on the once-a-week afternoon-evening talk show run by Jochi Santos on 106.5 FM, so have your boyfriend call that station to get her telephone number.

Ok I have read these posts and am now really confused. I too have a boyfriend in the Dominican Republic who wishes to visit me in the UK. What is the difference between the Visitors Visa and a Financial Visa.

For now I just want him to be able to come and visit.

FIANCE visa, not FINANCIAL visa. A visitors visa is just that - for a visit, and a fiance visa is bringing someone over because you are getting married.

An English "Financial Visa" for a Dominican "Boyfriend" ,means that the "Boyfriend" only wants to stay in England until his English "Girlfriends" money runs out. He will then return to work in "Animacion" at the Bavaro "Sanki" Beach Resort,until the next "Financial Visa" comes along! I thought you knew!CCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCC CCCCCC
