Visitor visa to the USA

imlosttoo · #1 06-29-2009, 08:12 AM

I wonder if anyone can answer questions regarding traveling from DR to the US. Is it possible for a Dominican woman to travel to the US for some period of time? The reason I'm asking is that some guys I know couldn't bring their girlfriend to the US even for a vacation without some type of fiance visa or something like that. Is the same thing true in the DR? I'm curious to know if I come down there often enough and eventually meet someone can she come to the states for one, two, three months etc? I'm kind of busy and can't come down permanently for some time and was wondering. Thanks

Unless she already has a US VISA (extremely doubtful that a young lady who is interested in gringos would have one) it will be virtually impossible for you to get a booty call VISA - LOL.

It's extremely difficult to get a visitor visa if the person does not have strong ties to the DR.

Here's a link to get all the info you need USCIS - Visit the U.S.

As far as getting a fiancée visa is concerned, there are rules in place and you would have to get married within 3 months of your fiancée arriving in the US so unless you find someone you are planning to marry don't bother with that route.

Info on that USCIS - How Do I Bring My Fianc(e) to the United States?

As the other responses have indicated, it is practically impossible to bring a girlfriend (or a boyfriend) a visitor's visa to the US. Some things to know:

-You as a US Citizen cannot sponsor them for a visitor's visa. It is all on her to prove that she will return to the DR after the visa period is over. This will be extremely hard for her to do.
-Your being a boyfriend will be a big negative during the interview.
-Any other friends or relatives in the US already will be a big negative during the interview.

The reason for this is simple. A huge percentage of Dominicans have previously entered the US on visitor's visas and did not leave. This makes the interviewing officers very reluctant to grant visitor's visas to Dominicans. That said if you wish to donate $130 to the US government, feel free to do so. Hundreds of people do that daily when they pay for the visa application fee only to get a NO answer.
