E-mail should be fine.

Apparently, you sometimes receive an auto response to say the email has been received. I didn't get this auto response, so I tried from another account incase it had something to do with spam as it was from my hotmail account. Still, nothing. So, I sent it via regular mail and it got there yesterday. I also received e-mail confirmation that they received my e-mails yesterday.

In my opinion it doesn't hurt to send e-mail AND reglar ol' skool mail - just in case ;)

Hmm, I see! It's just that the fastest mail from BR to US takes a little longer than 10 days and it costs you a leg! :wacko:

Maybe I'll ask for my in-laws to send it then (Hubby is with me down here :P ).

OK GUYS

THIS IS PERSONAL AND I NEED DIFFERENT OPINNIONS..

As per my signature if you read my history with my husband you will know that I have met him more than 9 years ago and started a relation ship in 2004 and married in 2009...the thing is that we did not celebrate a marriage like a party we only went to the civil office with the 2 witnesses ..why we do this?? 1st thing I am groups & weddings coordinator and really I am tired of wedding..2nd thing I have more than 200 persons wich includes family and friends I am little bit popular because I came of a family of musicians and politicians in dominican republic so I got lots of friends one example between my mother and father I have 18 uncles and aunts and more than 50 cousins, and really I dont have the money to spend to have a party and fee that amount of person and I am not including the family of my husband in that 200 presons..if I have a wedding party I will love to see all the family and friends of my husband and unfortunetaly not all of them will be available to come to dominican republic and I dont have the money to provided flight tickets and hotels for all of them..

so we did not do this but I was thinking that i will died if I dont get approval in an interview because of this..

so I was thinking that I should do something small really I can do a wedding for 80 persons without paying anything except the food because I can have the flowers, mucis, etc free because of my job..but then I realize wont be enough proof the times that my husband has come to Dominican Republic.??? he has come to Dominican republic 26 times after we start dating.. is a HUGEEEE NUMBER .. I think...plus that I live with him for 5 month. and the 1000 pictures and emails that we have...

so I really like your opinnion for this..should I do something in the next month only for pictures of the wedding??

love u all

I'm sure there are a lot of people who went down your track and decided against a party per se. You also have sufficient evidence over the course of 9 years to prove a legit relationship IMO.

Personally, I would have had the musicians and politicians pay for my wedding. "IF YOU REALLY LOVED ME, YOU'D PAY FOR MY WEDDING" :lol:

Also, take into conseration those of whom have met online a week before getting married and still approved!!!

Me and hubby had a dinner party for 20 people. It was nice and with only people we love. His parents came down to BR for the court wedding and dinner party (at night).

It was very small but meaningful.

We had all the arrangements as a regular wedding, such as flowers, wedding cake, champagne, toasts etc.

I wouldn't spend that much money in a wedding party that will last only a few hours. Prefer to go to Hawaii on our honeymoon! lol

I don't regret. I also lived with hubby in the US for 7 months before getting married and we dated for 2yrs before the marriage. We have a lot of evidence too, so I think you should be fine. =)

Can't you just imagine Jesus working at NVC though. I mean, it's an obvious reason as to why NVC is moving so quick.

I can just imagine him sitting at a desk, complaining about the daily grind, banging photocopiers that don't work, sending out RFE's and waiting for lunch time break :lol:

God, if I get a RFE, I will probably die. DIE.

All I know if he screws up the interview he won't have to die because I will have already killed him!!!! ; )

I think the key, as with any stressful situation, is to THINK before you speak. DON'T rush, even take a breath before answering. You just pray that your sincerity comes across and that we are NOT BS-ers....which I'm sure it will. Honesty and sincerity go a long way in these interviews I THINK : ) My humble 2 cents. Every embassy is different though, so I'm sure your portal page is invaluable. Thank God it's not Morocco, what a nightmare! Luckily Albania SEEMS to be normal.....you just hope you don't get someone who's dog just died, spilled coffee on her laptop and is going through a breakup all the day of your interview. : (

.but then I realize wont be enough proof the times that my husband has come to Dominican Republic.??? he has come to Dominican republic 26 times after we start dating.. is a HUGEEEE NUMBER .. I think...plus that I live with him for 5 month. and the 1000 pictures and emails that we have...

I strongly suggest that the USCitizen prepare an 'evolution of relationship' letter, and the foreign spouse present it on Interview Day. Have it notarized, either in the USA or at the Embassy during American Citizen Services appointment.

In Addition to EVERYTHING ELSE you have.

Good Look !
