Legal Question in Immigration Law in Dominican Republic

Re: illegal pregnant

Hi m,

You may write to me directly if you wish at: [email protected]

In reference to your question: Option 1: You mentioned she had a working visa that expires Sept. 2005. Does her current employer want your brothers' girlfried to keep working for him? If yes, then he might be wiiling to help her renew her working visa. If no, ask her how did she obtain the working visa that she has now and tell her to try to renew it that way. Option 2, Ask her if she has a valid turist visa? and if she does,when does that one expires? If it expires later than April, 2006 then she can get married where ever she wants (I recommend the USA)and still fly back and forth to the USA and stay there 3 months at a time. However, I do recommend them to get married as soon as possible (assuming your brother is a USA Citizen) so they can, now as a married couple, start the USA naturalization procedure for her.

In regards to her giving birth in which country, I highly recommend her to give birth in the USA but only after she is married to your brother. The INS will give him less of a hassle if he does it that way.

Important note: When effecting visa renewal and everything related to immigration docs. please try to keep the pregnancy issue secret (That's if it is isn't too obvious).

Best regards,
