Not a blasted thing! We had bios and haven't heard anything or been touched since.

Feels good to be back around. I missed everyone and the yardie connection but I am glad I took a bit of a break to clear up stuff. I hope to stick around

I didn't even know about touches when we went through the K-1. I came on here right after we were approved.

I didn't check a think on AOS.

I plan on sticking to that plan unless, God forbid, it's this time next year and we still haven't heard anything. Then, I would probably be a mess.

Not checking is how I maintain my sanity.

Any news from anyone?

Jonesie you get your bios yet?

Still here patiently waiting.

We went to biometrics on Monday. In and out. I wish it was all as easy as the biometrics are.

Me too! That would be so nice...bios is so easy.

I am already looking forward towards citizenship I just want it to all be over with and never think about USCIS again!

We have discussed it. Right now we are leaning towards it and are pretty much set on going for it. The up in the air part is the when. Apply for it as soon as we can or wait. I want to just get it all over with but money might be the deciding factor.

If you find out info on JA citizenship let us know. What benefits would you gain by getting citizenship?

We did our bios in July and our file was touched - but still waiting. Based on what I saw with USCIS they are processing requests om 751s from January 2008.

Patiently waiting - seriously. Patient this time around

My I-485 was touched a few days ago...I wonder what that means.

We will be joining you guys soon here. We fill ours in 6 months. I can't believe it.

Time sure flies doesn't it?

Yes. I can't believe and Jay is 5 months already.

What does your online status say?

I was reading in the ROC forum that someone's online status said something about them being transferred blah blah blah so I was wondering what yours looks like?

Here is mine:

Henry has his bio on October 2nd.

PS Hi everyone!! (I am so rude).

PPS Did you all catch Usain Bolt on David Letterman last night?

Hey I have a question? So if there running behind how do u get the OK for your SO's to stay in college or work. Do they give a temp stamp? Thanks for help.

Time flies that is sure right. Jay is a monster compared to a few months ago. Growing like a weed. If life goes this fast for now on it's going to be crazy.

When you file the I751, you get the NOA. That is a one year extension in itself. All he has to do is show that letter anywhere they want to know his legal presence. When that expires (God forbid!) he can make an infopass appointment and get a stamp in his passport that will tide him over till he gets the 10 year GC.

I'm not sure what office you are out of; but CSC seems to be doing pretty well right now.

Who were you talking to?

Transferred means they mailed it to the wrong place.....it's only CSC or VSC now. Some people keep mailing it to the wrong service center though.

Thanks for the help we go through CSC.

So this is older but I have been researching Citizenship and dual citizenship

http://www.constitution-and-rights.com/dual-citizenship.html

Anyone have any good links about the whole dual citizen debate?

http://www.immihelp.com/citizenship/dual-c...-countries.html

Dual citizenship for us both.

I understand the process to have him naturalize and we will most likely we doing it when we are eligible...next February. He just wants to make sure it won't affect his JA citizenship at all.

Then researching me getting JA citizenship and how, if at all, it would affect my US citizenship.

I am assuming this is what you are going off of right?



The way I read it would be whatever the equivalent would be that day. So if it flucuated and was lower you would be screwed. That hardly seems fair but it does seem to be the way it reads.

You would almost be better off having the money order originate in JA funds so there could be no confusion with exchange.

I wonder what the Letter to the Minister of National Security and Justice requesting registration as a Citizen of Jamaica would entail...
