Hi, when I filed for my girlfriend last year (March 2012) for evidence of relationship I only sent 1 photo of us in Jardin Botanico, I printed it on regular paper at home and on the back I wrote the date. I didn't have any problems.

Good afternoon. I doubt that you will have any luck finding a Dominican food store or restaurant in Orange County, but I believe that you should be able to find small Latin (Mexican) food stores where you can buy Plantains, Yucca, possibly Batata, Queso por frito, Pan de agua, and the odd meats that dominican's eat such as salt fish, rabo, beef feet, ect. It's been a long time for me, but I use to buy food from a small mexican food store in Hawiian Gardens, and I'll tell you that it is a dangerous town to be in (gangs) so only go in the mornings if you choose to. My suggestion is to look for other small mom & pop type mexican food stores close to you. With refrence to Presidente beer, you won't find REAL presidente as it is bottled for the US by miller brewing co with the permission of Presidente.. Both are Pilsner beers, but it's NOT Presidente.. Hope this helps, and good luck to you both!

I did find some products in Mexican food stores. I had heard about Presidente beer not tasting the same here, now I now why. Thanks.

Thanks I tried BevMo and I could't find it.

Hi, does anybody know where I can buy Dominican products, like food, drinks... etc in Southern California? I live in Orange County. My wife keeps asking me if there is a store where she can buy things like Induveca salami or presidente beer. Any help is appreciated. Thanks.

Hi, does anybody have a sample of a Dominican Birth Certificate translated to English?

You or him can call on the 8th. Just tell them your package never arrived. My fiancee never received the package so I called on a Wednesday and they told me she could pick it up on a Friday. She went early in the morning and got the package and that same morning she went to get her medical done.

Thanks for the clarification.

Hi, my girlfriend received packet 4 for K1 visa and the only banco popular fee it mentions is for $15.

I read the following guide:

http://www.visajourney.com/consulates/index.php?ctry=Dominican%20Republic&cty=Santo%20Domingo

It states the following: Banco Popular Fee: $160us + $15us (processing fee) (2 separate receipts)

Then on the embassy site:

http://santodomingo.usembassy.gov/k1-k2_instructions.html

It states the following:

take this sheet to any Banco Popular branch in the Dominican Republic to pay the non-fundable visa application fee of the equivalent of US$140.00 in Dominican pesos and an additional non-refundable fee of US$15.00 (the equivalent in Dominican pesos) plus applicable taxes per applicant.

First of all, is it normal for packet 4 not to have instructions on paying the $140 banco popular fee? and which one is it, $160 or $140.

Any help will be appreciated.

Hi, my girlfriend has an Acta de Nacimiento Tardia ... (late birth registration)

She is worried that it will cause problems during our K-1 inteview.

The interview is in Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic.

Has anybody had any problems with this? Is it something we should worry about?

Thanks for reading.

Changes to Visa Fees

Because the Department of State was able to obtain reimbursement under the Economy Act for services performed on behalf of other federal agencies, immigrant visa fees are decreasing.

This is the best reason I've found.

Thanks, for the response.

Hi, does anybody know why the K-1 visa fee was lowered to $240? My fiancee asked me this question and I didn't have an answer. I did some online research but I didn't find anything. Now I'm curious to know.
