Apparently, there is a certificate with apostille that RIU can give me and then dominicanrepublicservices.com could start the legalization and translation of our documents so that we do not have to wait 6 months to receive the marriage certificate. It is good to hear SeaPrincess that you received your certificate in 1 month. That's great... My fiance and I have been together for over 8 years living in separate countries and it would be nice to eventually live in the same country with eachother shortly after we getting married. Wish us luck!

Fair question! I'm a research scientist; I met and fell in love with my FI while I was in Chicago. My lab moved to Dallas and he proposed 2 months later!

BTW, wow! 8 years long distance? Across the borders? I'm IMPRESSED! Congrats and blessings!

Congrats and welcome.

 

My situation is similar to yours, I am Canadian and my FH is American. We have decided that I will move to the US once we are married. We will be getting married first and then he will be applying for me as his spouse. We are going to use an immigration attorney to try and speed the process up. There is a Fiance visa program you can use but you have to marry within 90 days of the visa being granted which would be too much of a rush for us.

 

Good Luck to you and keep us posted on your progress!
