I have a question maybe somebody can help me.

A friend of mine woks for the US gov here in Dominican Republic and he would like to know if the years that he has worked for them as former employee-not as contractor-counts for residence or citizenship purpose.

He told me that when an employee has 15 years working for the US gov can apply for the residency but the supervisor has to approve it then it goes to a committe who is in charge of the final decision. In conclusion it is hard to get it this way but they do it and the process takes a couple of years.

My friend is going to move to US and he would like to know if there is any way that the years of services can be taken in consideration for helping him with his documentation.

Thanks for your replies.
