US Visa for a Canadian (Dominicano) Permanent Resident

lexi · #1 05-28-2009, 03:24 PM

Has anyone (Dominicanos) had luck getting a US Visa after becoming a Canadian Permanent Resident?

How hard was it to get? Any tips?

I am taking my husband for his interview on June 25th to get a US visa so we can visit his brother in Miami after going to the DR this Fall.

My wife and stepson had no difficulty getting a ten year Visa, but of course this was before 9/11. My brother had more difficulty (still hasn't got) for his Cuban wife because she has relatives in the states. My mother in law got a ten year Visa in 2005.

It seems like the problem is if they have relatives in the US? Is this correct? My husband has a brother in Miami.

Also, he was refused a US visa when he went in the DR a few years back as his best friend's brother plays in the MLB and the family was going to get their Visas to go and visit him and they took my husband to see if he could get one too and they said no, because he was not family.

I know we have to be honest about the past attempt but should we tell them about his brother? I was thinking yes, because that is who we are going to visit.

I hate this visa thing!!

P.S. he has never travelled anywhere before coming to Canada and since he arrived we have only been to Mexico. So he doesn't have many stamps.....jajaja!

because of his brother name already in his past application datebase. It is same bull**** immgration intent test. She should stay some time in Canada and has a job if she do not have one, you have to have one and prove to the point. Toronto is worst place to apply visa if you can please to avoid it. Better place is otwawa, monreal and quebec. t I think you have to make apointment in the internet( have to pay ) or through 1-900 number (look like telephone sex )

I think she's way out West somewhere

Lexi let us know how you make out and post the details for future reference. I remember one of our members can't remember name who's hubby got one and didn't have a job yet.

The rules that apply when he was in the DR are different than now but do be honest about the past because they are more than likely to find it.

Keep in mind that Bob's sister in law is Cuban and.....well you know the US lalala

If has residency in the US no visa required, if he doesn't he will need one. I think that having a visitor visa to the US should make it easier to get a visitor visa to Canada.

but apply the rule might be flexible. I think the job and time to live in Canada is vital. of course, you can convince them with other factor such as plan to live Dominican republic
