Firstly congrats to Gill!! We got approved on Tuesday as well!!!! You can wear whatever you want. There is no dresscode. If you have any shyness get rid of it because they talk to you through a speaker where everyone can hear what they say to you! We went there early, checked in. You have to the appt letter in your hand before they will let you in and they check for your name on the list. You go through security and metal detectors, and then take a short walk bacak to where the actual embassy is. You go to the check-in desk, the space is so small so make sure you stand where you can fit, but also so no one tries to take your spot in line. I carried a folder with dividers and all the forms very organized. The reception guy was so impressed. He asked for 4 photos, the DS 156/DS 157, the police, birth, non-impediment, and passport. He checked them and gave us a number and we went in and took a seat in section A. They called our number and requested the same docs the recptionist did, plus my tax info and I-134. She was tossing our stuff around, guess she was having a bad day, but then she asked me to stand to the left and let Andrew be in the center. She checked the docs, kept them and told us to proceed to section B. In section B, you just wait to be called for fingerprinting. Andrew had trouble with this. He is an electrical technician at Federated Pharmaceutical and they work him to the bone literally. The guy had trouble trying to get his fingerprints because they were rubbed off a bit. After that you proceed to section C. This is where you can hear everyone's interview. So many people got denied or turned around because they didn't have all the docs. If you can go with your fiance to this interview..please do! Those who were there without their partner were given a very hard time. Everyone was getting denied left and right and you could hear every reason why...not all the docs, not making enough money, one guy was being fraudulent. He had tried to sneak into the US before. Lots of people were lying when asked questions.....how did you meet, when, when did you get engaged, how, how do you know they love you, where is proof....ect. It was so scary to watch. Then our number was called....we got to the window and had to swear to tell the truth. She asked us how long we have been talking Andrew said Dec. 23, 2005..I said...no, it's 2006. Then she asked how we met and he said myspace.com. Then she got hard in asking well how is it the two of you got together, do you want to marry everyone there, do you date all who sends you a message...just gave him a hard time. He stutters a bit at times, but this time he was having an extremely hard time, so I asked if I could answer, she was rude and said no..he should no for himself. Finally she let me answer, truth is he went blank. Then she asked him when the wedding was and we said June and she told me in my statement of intent I out April, and I said yeah because I didn't know Jamaica would take so long so we had to push it back! Then she asked him what kind of work I do and he answered. Then she granted us the visa. Told us to have a happy marriage! I should have been happy, which I was, but I was so upset with Andrew because he forgot and tensed up..we went to airpack just across the street, and then we left. I apologized to Andrew, we made up and had a great day and I am looking forward to him being here soon. His family is not so happy because he is leaving. They feel like he is abandoning them. his mom won't speak to him and all....so much. if they only would remember how they felt when they found love..once you find it, you do what you have to to keep it and help it grow. We also went to the movies that night. It was his first time there at Carib. We went to see Step Up 2. I had already watched it before. It was a lovely evening and now my family and I are just awaiting his arrival....and our big day...June 7, 2008 @ 2pm!!! To God be the glory for all He has done!! He is good all the time and all the time He is good!!! Sorry so long, but I want you to have as much info about going to the interview as possible. If anyone has any questions, let me know. God bless you all!!
Yeah Nbees,
I agree she was really mean to Andrew(We were sitting in the back...Ken had on a light Green shirt & I had on a black & white dress)...which I thought was unecessary! I also agree that if you can GO for the interview! For whatever reason they are brutal on those that go without their SO.. I heard one interviewer ask "This is a very big day for you...Why isn't your fiance/wife here?" A number of times to different applicants.
I swear so many people were trying to get over...it started to piss me off! Cause it just makes it harder for legit couples to get through...Everyone han dem Momma filed a 'Fiance Visa'!!
Mi seh people can say what they want about VJ and my Yardie thread...but if you come in and ASK yuh questions dem...yuh won't go wrong! Ken was like Thank you VJ!! DYAM RIGHT!!!
Blessed,
Gill
I already warned Anthony we will have to make the trip to the "city" once a month to buy groceries for him.

Sorry they were so rough with you guys. Some of those questions seem so out of order but they are the govt and they can ask whatever they want 
Glad that you guys made up and had a great evening. Congrats on the wedding date!
