we are planning for a I-130, thats why we want to get married, im from dominican republic and here they ask for an affidavit of singleness of the american citizen.

Juan,

Go to this page and take a look at the instructions. This may help:

http://santodomingo.usembassy.gov/marriage_dr-e.html

Sworn declaration before a notary public, of being single and eligible to marry; the sworn declaration then needs to be legalized at the Offices of Procuraduría General de La República. If the Sworn declaration is done before a U.S. notary, it then needs to be legalized at the closest Dominican Consulate in the U.S. (In the past, the U.S. Embassy allowed American citizens to swear such an affidavit of eligibility to marry before a U.S. consular officer. The Embassy discontinued this practice several years ago, however, because local officials were interpreting these documents as meaning that the Embassy had actually verified the content of the citizens’ statements, when in fact the consular officer was merely attesting to the fact that the individual in question had made the statement. Americans needing to comply with this requirement should instead present themselves to a Dominican notary –as specified above-.)

Hey Juan,

I got married in Dominican Republic also. I got my "Carta de Solteria" through a local lawyer in the Dominican Republic. I found it was easier to get it there, then here, in the states. I also suggest you speak directly with the person who will marry you and find out exactly what they require, because some want that paper, others don't.

Thank you jolusa, we will see what we can do because getting it here in the DR means that she would have to travel to here just for that.

There is no need for multiple trips. Just go to the local lawyer about a few days before the wedding. Its available in a day. Its just a simple letter stating that she is single and able to marry.

Thank you, we will consider it, but just in case do you know a place there where she can get it.
