Well I went through the Jamaican consulate n they didn’t take much of my paperwork’s but they took my pics and my husband documents so not everyone gets a hard time through immigrations,she has a lot of solid proof so if I was her I wouldn’t be worried..everyone case is unique,some ppl only put the stuff they asked for n nothing extra n they are fine.

Thank you, I thought the pics would provide great proof in addition to the substantial flights I had taken and time spent. The DR has a tough reputation so I am going to go back and think through of other proof I have that we are a legitimate proof of relationship. A friend completed her interview and they got into very personal intimate questions with she and her husband. How did your interview go at the embassy?

In my opinion, the evidence you posted is severely lacking.  You are facing a difficult consulate.  It takes more than proof that you visited his country and "photos from each visit with my husbands family and friends in addition to photos with my friends who traveled with me to the island.". That makes it sound like vacation pictures.   The CO will want to see quality evidence of a REAL MARRIAGE such as financial mingling (if you can), insurance documents, healthcare documents, and documents generated by spouses.  Remember, QUALITY is the key, not quantity.

 

And another thing:  Don't pay any attention to those who say "You are fine".......believe me, you need stronger evidence.....

 

EDIT:  The fact fact that you have a lot of actual face-to-face time is great......I would add to that with other types of evidence.

 

Good Luck.

Thank you @missileman I welcome the honest feedback, exactly why I posed the question. You made me go into deep thought about what additional information I can print for our interview binder. I do not want to rely on spending 6 plus months out of 12 months as our main source of proof. I added my husband to my life insurance policy, can print that. I have been sending substantial financial support for the home we share on the island so I can print those monthly receipts. In regards to health care and banking documents, he would need to live here to be added to my accounts.

You will be fine,send whatever you can find,I do think you have a lot of proof. Just package it nicely and you will be fine.

Thank you! I am reading so many stories about request for additional proof, that it made me nervous.

Country-specific thread is moved from the K-3 Process forum to the Caribbean regional forum.

I had no idea that forum existed. Thank you and I will check this out! 

I am following if you do not mind. Waiting on our interview in the DR and I have tons of questions. May I ask you if you were required to show a large amount of proof of relationship with your husband?

Hi! New here and patiently waiting on our interview notification. I am eager to hear from those who have completed successfully their spousal consulate interview, especially those in the Dominican Republic. My husband and I have just celebrated our first year wedding anniversary, June 3rd. Since we met in September of 2016 I have traveled to the island almost every other month and stayed on average 30 days at a time. I do have photos from my first visit, the visit where we met while both were on vacation but I do not have my travel documents. 

Year One: Feb '17, June 17, Aug 17, Oct 17 and Dec 17-Jan 18

Year Two: Feb '18, Apr 18-June 18 

My question is how much proof of relationship do I need to bring? I have photos from each visit with my husbands family and friends in addition to photos with my friends who traveled with me to the island. Our wedding was there on the island and we have photos, resort contract and communication. I did not print our conversations from the beginning and I am worried I will not be able to download them via IMO. We speak daily, throughout the day and I wonder how much of our conversation via WhatsApp do I need to print? What am I missing?????

Hi my RFE came a few days ago. They said I provided undated photos of me and my finance together in an unknown location and that my passport does not show entry and exit stamps within the 2 year period. I can understand the photos because i grouped them by year (2014 and 2015), but my passport copy (which was black and white) shows the visa and the stamps are there are well. Should I call to find out why or just move forward and provide a color copy of the passport?

I provided color photos of my passport with the exit stamps clearly visible. The turnaround time was fairly quick from there. Consider just mailing in a new copy to avoid further delay. Good luck!
