And to everyone, it is kind of funny was I scammed yes, was the OP more than likely if her gut is telling her, then yes, the side part if I had to adjudicate another applications for a woman from Ukraine would I do it again...yes, I will not condem nor should any one person group people by the actions of one person...sorry for the rant

I would never condem a whole country. And would definitely give any dominican a chance. But if there is a next time, I will just take a little while longer to get to know them and their past.

I thank you Brian1967, I will take a look at the link. I thankfully just started the process so the I29f hasn't even been approved/denied yet.

Trust me I'm not trying to judge you so I apologize if I offended you in any way, that's not my intention. What flags did you miss from the beginning?

And not knowing from too long isn't nessesarily a mistake there are many relationship that just bloom from the beginning. In my case I met my fiancé from DR and things just started flowing quickly and we ended up as boyfriend and girlfriend quite fast. I went to meet him 4 months after our online relationship started. I spoke to him about coming and he said he never had plans to come, he has a great job out there and so on. Eventually we just couldn't be away from one another and here we are with the k1 process.

Have you spoken to him again? You should have a long talk ask him to be honest.

Again my apologies to you bc yes DR has many stories as many other countries do as well. I know so many stories of ppl that met their love of their life in DR while on vacay.

I did not think that you were offending me. I just notice people keep asking why I am making a whole country bad...which I was not.

And I say to soon because we never really dated. Just one day through text he said he always dreamed of a woman like me. How I treated my last bf like a king. He always wanted that. And that he would pay everything for us to be married and then go to the states make money have nice cars, etc. he said he had never done the process but knew so much when I asked what I had to do.

I was very much heartbroken after ending my last relationship and he even asked me why I have my daughter her dad's last name. And could I change it so the process will go smooth. Just little thing like that I didn't bother to question.

However, like I said from reading other topics people here are in love, they talk to each other every night, they know history of their love.

I can't say that. I admit I was probably very vulnerable and should not have gone from one relationship to another but I also know that he should not have taken advantage of my weakness. Both our faults both our mistakes

It is indeed over. I will enjoy my mommy time and working on being happy with myself.

Will I go back to DR? In a heartbeat!!! :-)

I perfectly agree "To describe a country looking at a few individuals is really just silly."

Because I started this whole train, let me please say that I WAS INDEED WARNED ABOUT "DOMINICANS AND FAKE LOVE" of course not all Dominicans are this way. Beautiful, genuine people and that is why I fell in love with the country!

But upon my first vist to the DR well over 90% of advice was "watch for the sankies(sp?)...unfortunately yes the DR is considered a high fraud country, as that is why this country is never offered a visa waiver....and both parties HAVE TO BE PRESENT AT THE INTERVIEW...

Again I CAN NOT SPEAK on any other countries as I did not travel to others. I am well aware, however, that lies are worldwide!

I don't want to be harsh but how is it that now is that you aren't ready to get married so soon? Part of the K1 process is marrying within 90 days of the fiancé entering the US. Also at least he was the one that paid the petition. It's his lost. He shouldn't have used you. What's wrong is wrong but sometimes we also play into certain situations.

What's not meant to be just wont be. Stay strong

I was very ready to be married with him.

But after reading forums here...it just wasn't the same as how these other people "are in love" so I started thinking...wow I haven't know this guy too long, the things he said right in the beginning...which I just didn't catch on to...

It's just really a heartbreaking situation

I feel ashamed and embarrassed

Trust your feeling. If you don't mind my asking, how long you both have been together?

Almost 2 years.

My feelings are that he is pushing to hard to be together quick. Of course I wanted to be with him but marrying so quick and we didn't even date or go out much together in DR... Its all just coming to me now that my eyes are open

Sorry everyone. I actually been having quite a bad day. Spoke with my beneficiary about my feelings. And he actually got really upset. But then went to say "okay, but I need to help my family, mom is sick blah blah.... So you can just help me as a favor..."

I'm so hurt.

To answer a few questions;

We have only know each other about a year n a half personally, over 4 years because I am really close friends with a friend of his.....

Which goes to how we met. I went to DR in 2008 with said friend and he was around the neighborhood. He was really nice, as most Dominicans are genuinely very nice people.

We kept in touch through Facebook/phone/etc. I have been back to visit DR over 5 times since 2008. But I never went to technically visit him, just the friend's family which I have grown to love her family.

The last visit ,2011, was when he claimed to really like me, but I was ending a very bad relationship(which I became a single mother)

So I think out of vulnerability I accepted his "love"

he did ask me to come back there and get married because it "was the fastest way we could be together"

I do not mean to make all Dominicans bad ppl. I love that country love the ppl. However, since my first visit 90% of "warnings" were for the fake love. I can not speak on any other countries because I've never visited and never been giving advice.

And lastly, from our conversation today. I will be removing the petition. :-(

I do appreciate everyone's replies. Thank you

He seems to know how the whole process works but says never wanted to come to the US before.

Idk my gut is worrying me

I will be calling on Monday.

Thanks :-(

:-(

I don't know what to do. Just happy he paid for the fee and I only paid for shipping.

Ppl tried to warn me about Dominicans...but love is blind I guess

CSC is the California office. Good luck!

Yea I was reading through posts about the less than 10 day approvals happening after the number change....but they were posted in 2012?

What a way to set myself up lol

Reading through older post....the reg number change is a possible good sign of an approval within a week!!!!! Fingers crossed!!!!

I got the same notification today; alien registration number changed.....which I don't understand that, no one had a previous "alien registration number" in the first place.

Either way..it was touched!! So here's to good news soon ...for everyone :-)

Thanks Jgoodman...

this site is very overwhelming but helpful! Sometimes I read things and it makes me happy and excited...then I read not so good things and I get nervous!

But again, thanks for the welcome and good luck through your journey as well! :-)

So just filed sept. 4 received acceptance sept. 10 )

But as I read post from previous ...I'm getting a little sad :-(

First, my petition went to Texas...from reading..is slow

Second, we really didnt have much "evidence" to go with our petition. No pictures ,specifically.

I have been over to visit maybe 5/6 times over the course of 4 years and just this past year decided to get married....but no rings..when I am on vacation I just enjoy myself, I honestly don't like having pictures if myself...

He has been my strength through a very rough time in my life

So I am very worried we don't have enough to prove we really want/need to be together
