Hi all I'm looking to meet some people who are going through this same experience of having married someone you love in Costa Rica and going through the petition steps to bring them into the USA. If you are already involved in the process or about to start please respond... I am about to sunmit my I-130 fist week of August yet I feel lost and looking to create a support system thru this experience.

I look forward to hearing from you!

Hello

This is my first time on the forum.

I also got married in Costa Rica with a Tico. I was married on July 23, 2007. I just heard that the Embassy in Costa Rica is accepting the I 130 petition.

I have a question as to the current resident condition. Do you have to have lived in Costa Rica for six months to prove that you are a resident? Or can you just show your Cedula de Identidad as a permanent resident even if you have not resided there for six months?

I have been travelling to CR for a year and have been living here for two months.

Hola

Have you tried the DCF in the US Embassy in Costa Rica. I hear it is faster than filing in the U.S.

DCF does not result in a K-3 visa (which is what you have under your profile) - it results in a CR or IR-1 immigrant visa. Only if you are a legal resident of Costa Rica (as in student, work permit etc) for certain time at the moment of filing can you apply for DCF.

Good luck!!!
