Hi Lindsay. I bought your book last year when my daughter was preparing to study abroad in the DR. Fast forward to now. She fell in love with a Dominican man, came home (Chicago IL USA) to finish school then returned to work in Santo Domingo for a year. They attempted to get a Visa for him to visit us at Christmas which resulted in a dent in the wallet of $160 and a heartbreaking NO. We are trying not to burst her bubble but it appears her dream to get him a student visa to the US is just that...a dream. He comes from very little means and we are middle class which is nowhere near the money I imagine it might take to accomplish their dream. Any words of advice? signed>MOM who's trying to balance being supportive yet realistic
ReplyDeleteMOM email me at lindsay@drsisterhood.com and I will try and help you. It will be very hard for him to get a visitor visa but there are ways.
DeleteHi Lindsay
ReplyDeleteI realise you're a busy woman... But if you get a chance could you make a phone call for me. 8095666638. It's a Company that specialise in Firework displays based in SD. What I need, is to find out if they know of any retail outlets for fireworks in either La Romana, Higuey or Bavaro/Punta Cana areas.
Reason being, it's my wifes 50th on the 21st & we'll be celebrating with friends from Higuey. She loves fireworks and I would get an awful lot of "Brownie points" if I could surprise her with some.
Any help would be very much appreciated.

Can you write about how people can learn more about getting a working visa in the US? thank you
ReplyDeleteSorry no, as I don't specialise in visa issues, but the US embassy website has all the information.
DeleteWhat do you do if you meet a DR guy in another country, like him a lot, but he is here as a sanky panky for someone else? Do you have info on this, on the site? Thanks
ReplyDeleteIf he is a sanky panky for someone else, the chances are he is for you too. A leopard doesn't change its spots.
DeleteHow does your agency actually find.out if someone is a sanky panky? Isnt it evident to a woman?
ReplyDeleteYes it should be completely evident but many women will not believe it. We use all sorts of methods - often putting them in touch with another woman who has been with a sanky panky to help them to understand.
DeleteHi Lindsay
ReplyDeleteI have meet a Dominican man and have fell in love and he also. I'm looking for some advise about moving to the DR.
Thanks
Best to email me Karen at lindsay@drsisterhood.com
DeleteLadies, ladies, ladies... How much more naive can you be? A poor, fifth world man - often much younger than you are - and you think he is into you...
ReplyDeleteIt is sad to say, but if you get burned, and as we can see just about all of you do, you brought it upon yourselves all by yourselves.
Unless a woman and a man are on the same level economically, there will never be a "true love" scenario. Just an opportunistic one. The victim is the party that is better off economically.
But, if you prefer, feel free to keep deluding yourselves. However wrong that it may be in the eyes of a neutral observer.
A friendly comment from a DR guy who lives in the UK since 8 years old, but watches white women being taken for a ride every time he visits the island. EVERY time. Including the married ones that live on the island. A bit of an eye-opener: latinos do not have the "love" concept like the Europeans. For us it is all about frenetic discharge of carnal desire first and foremost. European women seem to like that and think it is an expression of love.
Naive.
Take care of yourselves in a foreign land for there is no one else to do it for you. Please.
