The United States announces the arrival of three of its navy ships in Haiti

The United States has announced the upcoming arrival in Haiti of three ships belonging to its navy. This decision follows U.S. efforts to strengthen their relations with the country.

Context and motivations

According to El Día (DR), there is a growing interest among Dominican families established in the United States to preserve their children's cultural and family ties with the Dominican Republic. This trend is reflected in the significant number of new applications for Dominican nationality for people born in the United States but who have a Dominican parent.

Cultural Education Project

The Consul General of the Dominican Republic in New York, Jesús "Chu" Vásquez Martínez, stated that the Orígenes de Excelencia program aims to bring young people closer to their Dominican heritage. This project offers educational and cultural experiences to strengthen identity and understanding of heritage.

Details on the Process

To obtain Dominican nationality, it is necessary to have an original birth certificate, a copy of the Dominican parents' identity card, and an identification document for the applicant. The process can take between 45 to 60 business days depending on the documents provided.
