This is fine. B u t - you cannot contrast your situation with the situation of many residents now here in the Dominican Republic, I guess.
Residents beeing here since long years p.e., now older, having invested much into their live, into the country here and
having done all perfect with their papers all the years.
But this new rules can create lots of problems for some of us, even the older ones who normally now have their "center of their life" here in DR.

Sabra,
I posted , in a different thread about one of my daughters who lived w/ us in the US and went to school there from 3rd grade thru college... almost 15 yrs of her 22 years.

We are Cdn citizens.

After college she applied for and given employment.

Visa denied for lack of work experience - deported.

Remember, US educational visas allow for 4 yrs of schooling and another year (OP) to enter the marketplace and apply those newly learned skills.
However, there is no allowance for entry at that point.... my daughter's case in point.

Many people are not used to changing countries and find the system flawed.
It may very well be flawed - but any recourse is very difficult.

The host country holds all the cards.

AS a Cdn, I have held a green card, TN for 3yrs and 3 E-2's @ 5yrs each.
In total over 20 yrs of contribution to the US tax system.

I have no legitimate route to apply for residency..... not that I want it.
