Hello, everyone!

I'm a U.S. citizen living in the Dominican Republic and am planning to start the K1 process, but whenever I need something to be mailed to me from the U.S. I state my address as a P.O. Box in Florida that gets forwarded to my mailbox in a private company.

Our national mail system is VERY inconsistent, so I don't know what to do. :( I can't state my P.O. Box address as my current address on these forms!... but if I don't, I'm afraid I won't receive important mailings.... :o

Any ideas, anyone? Anyone been trough this? :unsure:

Thanks for the quick response!

Where exactly did you write in the P.O. Box? As your current address?

Please excuse my ignorance. :blush:

Why are you doing a K1... Do you have legal status in the DR. If so, have you considered getting married in the DR and then filing for DCF. It may be a better way for you to get a full CR-1 visa if you don't have to leave the DR for a little while.

Why are you doing a K1... Do you have legal status in the DR. If so, have you considered getting married in the DR and then filing for DCF. It may be a better way for you to get a full CR-1 visa if you don't have to leave the DR for a little while.

Maybe the K-1 interview line is shorter in the DR? I know they have some hellish delays there...

Luis: use a PO Box for the mailing, and state your residence addy where asked--it's usually pretty clear. We had to do this too, as we don't have street delivery of mail in our village.

I was just asking the question in case time wasn't an issue and they didn't know about DCF...

Truth is I'm not even sure DCF is done in the Dominican Republic :huh: ... I'm going to try to find out!

Does anyone know for sure?
