So here is the situation, hoping someone can give me an idea. My brother is a US Citizen who just moved back to the States from Dom. Rep. He has a girlfriend back in the island who he is formally engaged to but they have no set date on getting married yet. She is able to travel because she has a tourist visa. They would like to move in together, but she is waiting for him to get his apartment and be more settled in (right now he is at my house). She doesn't want to just leave her steady job back home to be here as an illegal immigrant until papers are submitted and approved. They thought of getting married here (she would come for a couple of weeks), have him submit papers for a green card and she would be back in Dom. Rep. until she gets approved to come to the USA to work and live.

Is that possible? Does that take too long? Is it better to request a fiance visa? Does it matter that she already has a tourist visa?

Thanks in advance for your help.

The plan is perfectly legal and actually sounds like a very good plan. Once they got married and she's back home on the island, he files a CR-1 visa for her. Others will know the current waiting time better than I do.

There is no room in this country for hyphenated Americanism. When I refer to hyphenated Americans, I do not refer to naturalized Americans. Some of the very best Americans I have ever known were naturalized Americans, Americans born abroad. But a hyphenated American is not an American at all . . . . The one absolutely certain way of bringing this nation to ruin, of preventing all possibility of its continuing to be a nation at all, would be to permit it to become a tangle of squabbling nationalities, an intricate knot of German-Americans, Irish-Americans, English-Americans, French-Americans, Scandinavian-Americans or Italian-Americans, each preserving its separate nationality, each at heart feeling more sympathy with Europeans of that nationality, than with the other citizens of the American Republic . . . . There is no such thing as a hyphenated American who is a good American. The only man who is a good American is the man who is an American and nothing else.
