Hello everybody!
my name is JHARLEY JONES from Colombia but I am living in Jamaica, I got married two years ago and We have a beautiful baby, her name is CASHEL (She is 14 months old)...I got my CR-1 visa the last week but I am so scared because the consul told me that i am going to have problem when we arrived to united states.....I don't know why he told me that, maybe because my husband has a contact in the embassy and the consul was mad for that....so....i am really scared, i want that all my family is together...i want that my baby spend a lot time with her daddy....God bless my family and everything is going to be very well.....

i would like to meet new friends here...I want to talk about our similar experience in this process....I would be here If you want any advise...and I hope that you are for my too if i need some....THANKSSSSS

Congratulations and Welcome to VJ!!!

Awwww. What a beautiful baby.

I have no idea why the consular officer would tell you that. Don't believe him. You have your visa and you'll be fine.

Welcome to VJ, Cashel!

welcome to VJ and congratulations on ur visa......u have a visa i dont see why they would tell u that other than maybe want to make u afraid dont be..........good luck and what a cute cute baby

From your story so far, I don't see why you would have a problem. Unless you elaborate on some possible issues, I would say to just ignore the CO and look forward to your move.

Good luck to you.

If your "problem" is related to the same thing you seem to keep posting about in a lot of different threads, I would not worry about it at all.

Thank you all!!!!

I am going to travel to United States on June 19th...I am really excited and scared you know why...but I hope that everything is going to be ok..all in hand's God...I'll write you and I hope to have good news...Thanks again for interesting in my post...

Welcome to VJ! I don't know why you'd have a hard time coming to the U.S. - you already have your visa.

Good luck (your family is beautiful).

Welcome to VJ! Congrats on the VISA and best of luck! You have a beautiful family!!! Wishing you safe travels and welcome to the US!

The 3 of you make such a beautiful family! Hope you got here with no problems!

Welcome to VJ and congrats on the visa.

Hello,

I married a wonderful Colombian woman 4 years ago. We married in Colombia and I had to go thru the Colombian laws and requirements. In order to apply for a Visa for her I had to be in Colombia continously for 6 months before The US embassy in Bogota would accept my application. When I got there they were going to deny the application because I didn't live in the US and didn't have the minimum income of $20k to support her. This was ludicrous as I had over $100,000 in my bank account which was 5 years of salary. Finally, with threat of talking to the ambassador they finally gave her a Visa to visit the states. We got here and started the process required for permanent visa, Social Security Card, biometrics and green card. It has been a long and difficult process and it is scary....so I know what you mean. My wife got her first interview for Naturalization in April and the interviewing official liked playing games as he knew her English was limited. He told her to stand up...she did. He told her to raise her right hand...she did. While standing and raising her hand he asked her, "Have you ever claimed to be a US Citizen?" She responded,"Yes." She was thinking that he was doing the oath and wanted to know if she wanted to be a US Citizen. Well, he immediately failed her for not speaking English because it is illegal to claim to be a US citizen--when you are not; which he was legally in the right to do. However, she was so nervous and scared that she could barely talk. He asked her 4 questions and failed her immediately without asking any civics questions, without asking her to read or write anything. All of which she could do. She is limited in her speaking/oral capacity. She had taken English courses in an University, church, ESL setting and did better than all of the other students yet, when it came time for the interview the officer never tried to make her feel relaxed and wanted to play tricks on her. Final word from this experience is that knowing how to respond to the application was more important than the civics questions. His first question to her was, "How did you get here?" Easy enough for a person who speaks English but, not easy to understand as a ESL person. She was thinking she got here because she married a US citizen. If he'd ask how did you arrive at the interview she would've understood a bit better. Needless to say, we both cried after he failed her English and was told that he'd reschedule her. She continued with her studies and went to her second interview a few days ago and passed. So, if you ever need help with anything we will be glad to assist you as the process is long and scary.
