Woe is me. I must report a failure on my part. (after crowing about how I passed the written test with a great score, I figure I full disclosure on the practical test is appropriate). Late last week we went from Punta Cana over to the Intrant ...

@ddmcghee I did it with my US driver's license. It is definitely possible. You just need to apostille your state's driving record which shows your license is in good standing. In my case, I got a copy of my recent 3-year driving record from Maryland ... Read More

Can you deposit a US check into a Dominican bank account? by wondering9

I'm hoping it won't come to this, but I might end up receiving a paper check at the last minute before I leave the US. Is a Dominican bank likely to accept it as a deposit?I imagine there would be a long hold on the funds, which would be OK in this ...

Profe Agayu

@CHRISTOPHER DAVID56 Yes, I find this to be the best option for me. Although, I never tried depositing a foreign check into a Dominican bank. Read More

@°µÍø½ûÇøRusher I agree. Though my interview at the naturalization office was very quick without issues, I witnessed many couples who were being  interviewed for nearly 25 minutes while my interview lasted 4 minutes. On another note, it sucks that ... Read More
