Thanks SFD and Tink, It just seems that there has to be a better way than basically just profiling people. It's very discriminatory. I don't think Carol will try again...not in the near future. It was a traumatic and emotional experience for both of us. I so believed there was a chance and we...

I got an email from Carol. She got some of the papers I sent her back; the explanation was the general "they don't think she will go home at the end of the visit" spiel. Also, that they didn't have enough information about Ray and I. I don't know what more I could have sent. I gave them the info...

Re: Questions about my Dominican friend's visa application/Not a Happy Ending Hi Everyone...well, I'm totally dismayed :'( that after all the work we did and money spent, with all the crossing of the t's and dotting of the i's, they would not give my friend Carol a visa to visit us in Canada...

Thanks for asking Scylla... this is starting to become a soap opera: "Tune in tomorrow when you'll find out if our heroin gets her visa" ;) Well, Carol got to SD very early Monday on the sort of unofficial bus, but then of course she had to wait until 9am anyway for the bank to open. She said...

Hi HI All, So sorry not to have been back and leave you hangin'. Well, Carol was ready to go for her visa two weeks ago when we noticed a couple of important things we (I) overlooked: a letter from her school the main one. So we postponed going to SD until she got that...also I failed to notice...

THANKS SO MUCH again Tink and SFD!!!! :D Is that your nice way of telling me to run along now SFD?? lol ;) Yes, for now I think those are all the questions I have, but you never know. I might be back. Carol is planning to go to SD on Monday. I'll let you know how it goes!! God Bless, Arletter

Ok, another question, if you go to Santo Domingo in person, you can pay with cash correct? The Canadian visa website, like most government sites, is jam packed with words, but it is clear as mud. It seems to suggest that you need a certified check if you are mailing it in, and that you can use...

Thanks so much again SFD. Carol is quite competant, but SD is a big city. I've given her the information, but I'm leaving the decision up to her. Arlette

Thanks SFD. Would you be able to tell me approximately what streets the Metro Bus is on? Is that just a stop or a station? I can look on Google maps if I have some idea. God Bless, Arlette

Thanks again Tink! Yes, she is enrolled in school. Another Question: Carol is going to take the Caribe bus to Santo Domingo. Never having been to this large city and not knowing her way around, I thought it would be best for her to take at cab to the visa office. Does anyone know approximately...

Thanks very much Sangria! Today, I sent all the host documents via DHL to my friend in Puerto Plata. She is working on her application. She is a student, but she left her course early and will restart in the fall, also she had a job at a hotel which decided to close for the summer...so now, no...

Thanks so much tink...good to have another confirmation of that info!! It's funny, no matter how much info they pile on the website, it never actually really explains how to go about things...lol

Hi SFD, thanks for your advice...I just wished it matched up with Sangria's...lol.

Hello Sangria, Thanks for that info. So, you're saying that I should send my invitation documents to Carol in DR...to her address, or the bus station which is of course a more known address. So, if Carol goes to Santo Domingo, they will decide that day if she will get her visa? That would be...

PS, any idea how long the process usually takes on average? It doesn't have a time line listed on the gov't site for DR. Thanks!

Hello, glad I found this forum, it may give me some pointers. I've invited a Dominican friend Carol to come for a couple weeks this summer. I've read the Canadian gov't visa site, I have the notarized letter of invitation and other document requirements since we are sponsoring her visit. She has...
