I am a US citizen and have been living in the Dominican Republic without residency for the past 8 years. My fiance is from India and he has been living in the Dominican Republic for the past 2 years on a visa that allows him multiple entrances. Recently we had our k-1 interview and were denied principally because my fiance did not have residency in the Dominican Republic.

So our plans are for my fiance to apply for residency immediately and in January we will marry. I have a friend who is an immigration lawyer and she got her visa via DCF and she said that if we both had residency we could do that as well as soon as we got our residency, as long as we could prove we had been living there for more than 6 months. However, the documentation on this site says it needs to be a legal residency for 6 months. Are there any exceptions to this?

We have been in the visa process for 8 months and got turned down so we want the quickest way. Residency only takes 2-3 months so if we could apply right away that would be great but if we have to have 6 months of residency legally then we are looking at 9 months.

There is no information on the Dominican Republic embassy website on DCF.
