Proof of never being married

[HispanicLover 42]

Can anyone tell me if any documentation should be included as proof that the beneficiary has never been married? If so, what is the best way to prove that? Does the letter of intent to marry cover that? Thanks for any help.

No. If the beneficiary has not been married then saying so on the forms will suffice. You only need to prove a divorce has been finalized when either the petitioner or beneficiary has previously been married.

Some countries issue a piece of paper that states the respective person is legally free to marry. If you think you might need it, I would contact the registry office and inquire if they can provide this.

No requirement of single status needed for the petition

Your fiancée should be able to get a "certificado de soltera."  From what I have seen, it is common in a lot of Latin American countries and it normally isn't required until the interview phase.

 

That document does have an expiration date, so if your fiancée does get one, don't start the process too early, or you will have a risk of it being expired when it's time for your interview.

 

I hope this helps!

For the initial sending of the package you won't need anything except the signed statement for each of you stating that you are free to marry. The certificado de solteria won't be needed until the time of interview at the embassy. ask someone who is also processing a visa from the DR to verify that.

For the Dominican Republic they request a single letter, which their beneficiary can look for in the central electoral board. They deliver it the same day. That is what they need most a hand letter and a letter from their beneficiary stating that they never marry, sign and date.

Miosotty,

 

I am a little confused with your response. Do they need a letter other than the intent to marry? Can you tell me what the Central Electoral Board is?

Not for the petition.   Get the petition filed and then worry about the interview requirements

Estoy un poco confundido con tu respuesta. ¿Necesitan una carta que no sea la intención de casarse? ¿Me puede decir qué es la Junta Central Electoral?

In addition to the letter of intent to marry, I recommend the unique letter. The central electoral board is the department responsible for providing identity cards, birth certificates, divorce certificates, name changes, singles letters and country elections. In recent months I have seen that for our country (DR) many have asked for this letter, some by mistake and others because at some point they indicated living with someone without being in the country. I hope to explain myself well. Surely your partner will know what I am talking about.

Is there a charge for this letter? If so, do you know how much it is?

Thank you!

So far they indicate that it is free. But it would take some money. The legalized records have a cost of RD $ 500 Dominican pesos

Great, thank you for all of your information!!!
