This country-specific thread is moved from Off Topic to the Caribbean regional forum.

06-04-2007 = TSC stamps postal return-receipt for I-129f.

06-11-2007 = NOA1 date (unknown to me).

07-20-2007 = Phoned Immigration Officer; got WAC#; where's NOA1?

09-25-2007 = Touch (first-ever).

09-28-2007 = NOA1, 23 days after their 45-day promise to send it (grrrr).

10-20 & 11-14-2007 = Phoned ImmOffs; "still pending."

12-11-2007 = 180 days; file is "between workstations, may be early Jan."; touches 12/11 & 12/12.

12-18-2007 = Call; file is with Division 9 ofcr. (bckgrnd check); e-prompt to shake it; touch.

12-19-2007 = NOA2 by e-mail & web, dated 12-18-07 (187 days; 201 per VJ); in mail 12/24/07.

01-09-2008 = File from USCIS to NVC, 1-4-08; NVC creates file, 1/15/08; to consulate 1/16/08.

01-23-2008 = Consulate gets file; outdated Packet 4 mailed to fiancee 1/27/08; rec'd 3/3/08.

04-29-2008 = Fiancee's 4-min. consular interview, 8:30 a.m.; much evidence brought but not allowed to be presented (consul: "More proof! Second interview! Bring your fiance!").

05-05-2008 = Infuriating $12 call to non-English-speaking consulate appointment-setter.

05-06-2008 = Better $12 call to English-speaker; "joint" interview date 6/30/08 (my selection).

06-30-2008 = Stokes Interrogations w/Ecuadorian (not USC); "wait 2 weeks; we'll mail her."

07-2008 = Daily calls to DOS: "currently processing"; 8/05 = Phoned consulate, got Section Chief; wrote him.

08-07-08 = E-mail from consulate, promising to issue visa "as soon as we get her passport" (on 8/12, per DHL).

08-27-08 = Phoned consulate (they "couldn't find" our file); visa DHL'd 8/28; in hand 9/1; through POE on 10/9 with NO hassles(!).

I got married to a Dominican Man in the Dominican Republic. 

1st - Birth Cerficate , single status report (found on google- just to prove you have never been married) , If married before you need your  divorce Papers and copy of passport and affidavit. 

2nd- translate all papers into Spanish by a legal person. 

3rd - go to local office to get everything notarized 

4th - go to state Department to get an official seal of approval.

5th - send all documents by mail to the spouse

6th - spouse makes an appointment for wedding.

7th husband needs - birth certificate, cédula (drivers license) and a single status. Go to the court house and ask what you need to do 

8th - get married

9th - check your marriage certificate to make sure of correct date. Mine were off by a year and a day. 

Check out the website or go to local courthouse to get what they need. That’s what my husband did. We got married in Santo Domingo at the local courthouse on March 6,2019

a marriage will only count in the United States if married at the courthouse in the Dominican Republic. 

Let me know if you need any more help. I will be happy to help.
