Its called MegaPhone and its been around for a minute, but they sell like hotcakes and are sometimes hard to get.

Oh great! and my wedding is 3 weeks after this! There are always trials and tribulations in our relationship. I guess we're gonna have to turn this one into another testimony.

There are many rules at churches in Jamaica. Like at my SO's church which is Assembly of God.....the women have to keep their hair covered when in church and they cannot speak or lead the sermons on church. You can wear hats or scarves or what not, just something on the head. Its also very quiet in church.....something I am not at all used to. I go to a jump and jive church and his is in no way like this. I have a lot of stuff to get used to when it comes to being this mans wife.

Yes please, let me know what they are!!!!


Man, I wish they would have had something like that when Tony was still in JA and we were talking 6 times a day EVERY day

No jewelry in church?!!!! I've never heard of that before. I'll have to ask Tony about that religion. I've heard him mention it, but I don't know anything about it.

They're cornrows silly!! LMAO at cornrolls We had the same problem when Tony came here. All the salons/hair places were charging a fortune to braid - and he's used to getting it done EVERY week! So we spent a small fortune to get them done for our wedding then he had me shave his entire head It actually looked good bald!! He was telling everyone he pissed me off so I shaved his head in his sleep! It's all grown back now and we found a friend of a friend who braids on the side - she just does it at her house. We've actually found a few of those around - start asking around now, it may take awhile. I think he pays $20 - which is still high considering in JA he only had to pay $5!!

Went to my interview this morning at 8am.
Could hardly sleep last night.

But I was APPROVED

Congratulations AlienUKGirl!!!

I would be EXTREMELY suprised if that were true!!!
I know a good few people that are, but most of the people that I know are not Seventh Day Adventists

that is great news congratz!

Thanks Rhonda. I had a lady who lived down the street braid my hair once in high school maybe she is still there. I went to school with her son. I still see him around so I will look them up. There has to be something cheap in a college town. He said he never wants to cut his hair again and these corn rolls are new. He just started them at our wedding.


Congrats

Thanks for posting this info...




CONGRATS GIRL

It's truly an adjustment process But things are going ok We went to a reggae pool party over the weekend, and I think that was the best thing since slice bread for him.. He came across a couple people that he knew from home, one in particular that lived 15 mins from him in JA. Now they live 10 mins apart here. I'm so glad they came across one another I'm sure this will help Neil with the adjustment to his new life.

Congrats on Mike receiving his EAD card

Congrats

CONGRATS ON UR WORK PERMIT

CONGRATS GIRL.!!!

yes it is a adjustment process!!!! mike and i have had our fair share of problems/issues...but you just have to remind yourself take it one day at a time!!

I agree

Amen!!!!!

Thanks

No not us, but my brother-in-law and a few family members are.




Congrats!!

I don't think anyone knows for sure when the fee increases will go into effect. It will post on the USCIS website. Just try to submit your petition as soon as you can.

I pay $45 (wash, press, & braid) every 10 days for my daughter b/c she has coarse hair. Most shops by my house charge $35/40 for children & $55 for adults. For men I think it's cheaper. Try the local hair salons or African Braiding shops.




Congrats my girl!! You must be estatic.

I really am, it's like everything has just gone SO smoothly for us, it's been only 4 months to a day or two since we filed...I keep thinking a spanner is going to appear in the works from somewhere, it's like it's too good to be true.....But every day I give thanks for the smooth run we've had.....Now, if I can just fast forward to getting this baby delivered

USCIS.gov announced that the new fees go into effect July 30, 2007

Congrats on all the new approvals!!! One more step ahead in the immigration game of life

This is true. They have to sign a contract. My fiance said it is $20/US a month and he can call ANYWHERE...he just got it a few days ago and he and his mom share it. He still kept his other phone though, but on this phone he had to get a new number.

Thanks Jamie. I was checking that out this morning as well. I spoke to Javon b/c we are going to file for my step-son but w/the fees going up I was thinking of doing it now instead of later. Javon said we should wait b/c it's hard as it is much less filing for 2 ppl at once. For right now I agree but we'll see.

Okay, I am confused! I was on the Jamaican embassy website and came across this:

Immigrant Visa Applications

• DS-117: Application to Determine Returning Resident Status
• DS-156K: Nonimmigrant Fiance(e) Visa Application
• DS-230: Application for Immigrant Visa and Alien Registration
• DS-1981: Affidavit Concerning Exemption from Immigration Requirements for a Foreign Adopted Child
• DS-3032: Choice of Address and Agent
• DS-3052: Nonimmigrant V Visa Application
• DSP-122: Supplemental Registration For the Diversity Immigrant Visa Program

Since the K1 fiance visa is an immigrant visa, all I need is the Ds-156K and DS-230 right?

Anyone in Chicago going to see Capleton on June 15th?


My husband doesn't like him but our very good friend is playing bass for him that night. So I am guessing we will get free passes in at the house of blues. At least that is what our friends did for me when Maxi Priest played.

If I remember correctly KNG handles K1 as immigrant visa. So you will need the DS-156, DS-156K, DS-157 & DS-230 part I & II.

I know what ur saying..we have 3 kids to file for...can u say $$$$$$...it took us some time to actually say let us wait to take them, get ourselves together..

No I'm not going.

I really want to go to my husbands interview, but I'm looking at things right and it just doesn't seem realistic, being that I was just there 1 month ago, just moved, can't forget the bills what do u guys think...

I wonder if Mindy said she was going. I will pm her to ask sometime.

My friend filed for 3 of her children left in JA. She just recv'd the IV bill for $1140. I feel so bad for her b/c she just came back from JA and spent over $8000 for her trip. She hasn't been back home for 10 yrs so it was a big deal!!

I wonder w/the fee increase if the workload will be easier to manage? Is the approval process going to be faster?

It depends. I will always say go to the interview if possible but if you can't make sure he is well prepared. Will he have sufficient proof of relationship? As of matter of fact, looking at your timeline you guys have been together for a while. Send him pictures, emails (if applicable), letters and/or cards, phone bills, etc. Any and everything!!!!

Yes we def have alot if proof...he has pics of me from I was 15yrs ..He has our wedding album, pics from out vacations, letters cards, money transfer receipts, I just don't want us rescheduling make a terrible impact on the process...its been a month now and no new date yet..but i'm still patiently waiting

Wow, that is alot of money can imagine what it will be when we do take them I really hope the process is much shorter with all this money..

if i remeber right....there was a talk on here about the k-1 being immigrant or non-immigrant and i think it is non-immigrant i think not sure..
you will need 156, 156k, 157, ds-230 and i-134...you should make a couple of these forms i have the packet 3 worksheet downloaded onto my computer if you would like it...remeber it might have changed a likkle bit but the forms should be the same..just pm me


just got a e-mail aos pending in cali

packet 3 info...

like i said before...some thing may have changed....but i think the paperwork should still be the same...if i could give some advice...when your SO gets their packets 3 do a cross check to make sure the info is the same and if they need more...then you will know...hope this helps!

Thanks so much! It certainly does help, I just need to print out a couple more copies of the forms I need to submit in duplicate!

Congrats on the AOS pending!

Yeah, I know most guys get their hair braided on the porch of somebodys house! Its way too expensive to get it done in the shop all the time unless you got a hook up in it. $20 is about the going rate to get a sista to hook his head up.

That's great When will you be coming here?

I doubt it It's just a way to get more money out of us! But we can always hope.

20th of July
Had my tickets booked for a good 3-4 weeks
Just checked the prices for July, they've gone up by DOUBLE!!
SO glad I booked early!

It's weird though, I feel kinda empty, like there's forms I should be filling in lol....For the past 4 months (NOT complaining about the time!) every single day has been spent doing SOMETHING concerning the visa process....So weird to have nothing to worry about!!

You can always start filling out your AOS forms!! What is your due date? Do you have family that will come out to visit you when you have the baby?

Wow Shuana, great news all around for you and mr. Mikey. Congrats!

Where are you going to be when you get here ?

CONGRATS things are moving right along for you!!
