I have dual citizenship and would like to get married

[rocios16 0]

So I am both a US citizen and a Dominican citizen. I became a US citizen through my father. I am planning to get married next month so i can petition for the CR1 for my fiancee. Now my question is should I get married as a dominican citizen or as US Citizen? Would it bring problems if i get married as a Dominican citizen when I start the process? Or it doesnt matter?

PLEASEEEE HELP I'm confused.

PS: It's cheaper to get married as a dominican (about 70 dollars) and to get married as a foreigner in the DR is about 250 dollars

I got married as a Dominican citizen, porque its like so much cheaper 3000 pesos vs 10,000. I was told it does not make a difference. I am waiting on my approval so I will confirm for you when it comes.

I guess if you get married as a US citizen, it's much easier and faster to petition your fiancee..

This is not true at all.

Marriage is marriage. It's the person getting married, not the citizen.

As long as the marriage is legal in the jurisdiction it is held in, and as long as it does not offend the laws of the US, then you will be married. It doesn't matter what nationality you put on the form.
