I never notarized my taxes.

We got our vaccination supplement form filled out anyway (we didn't receive an RFE) for $11 right before our AOS interview. The interviewer didn't ask for it until I mentioned it. She said thank god because they would have requested it later which would have delayed the process. Better safe than sorry.

I'm sorry to have to ask you to repeat yourself, but did you call the National Visa Center (NVC) at 603-334-0700 or VSC in Vermont?

I agree you should wait for the interview letter from NVC, BUT if by chance you don't recv it make sure you print off the email w/ the actual date.

Actually, ours was the same day for Sept 6,. I believe yours was 7am and mines was 8am. Then, they called my fiance and told him that his interview date has been rescheduled for 9/4 at 12:30pm and that they would send a second pkg in the mail so to disregard the first one. I am in the same boat as you because I don't no which one to believe. At first I didn't believe my fiance and he was like I"M TELLING THE TRUTH. So I took his word for it and now that you say the same thing I am believing it. It better be the 4th because I requested days off for the 4th and I am getting ready to buy my ticket. I don't know I will have to email them. Good luck with that! I need some

The US State Department Visa Office in Washington 2026631225 but the NVC calls it the visa service center

I will not be receiving the appt letter from the NVC since they were not the ones who scheduled my interview. Based on 12/11's post I expect they will send a letter with the correct information. We should have everything ready in time for either date so I've decided not to stress about it.

They knew what they were doing they want that $$$$545 bucks!!!!



April 12, 2008

Yes, that's what I was thinking, I was about ready to send it in, it states it must be sent in in the three month period before the expiration date.



True, you must be married for two years, we didn't make it we were married in Feb. I think they were waiting for us to spend that AP money.

We got NOA for AOS & EAD

I saw this on Myspace and remember that some people were asking for options for calling Jamaica:

Note: This is not my page. She a promoter for Jah Cure.



Get Unlimited Calls from Jamaica for Only $19.95 mo

Hello All,

I got the best hook up for all of you that have ppl in JA and talk to them on a regular basis.

I found a great program that will allow you have a Jamaica number so that everyone who usually calls you from Jamaica can do so as a local call and not international. You simply pay $19.95 (a one time small set up fee) and anyone in JA can call you and you can have it go directly to your cell or house phone. This is for you to receive calls unlimited.

You do not need internet like Netspeak, you need nothing but to pay the monthly rate and that is it.

If you are interested, I am putting a list together so that I can hook up everyone I know.

Send me an email if you think this is something you can use.

Also, you can use this service even if you are in the USA, UK, Canada and some parts of Europe as well. So this is not just for the USA.

I look forward to your email. Also, tell everyone you know and have them contact me on my myspace. www.myspace.com/kween217

Later,

Christina

This sounds good. I wonder what the catch is. Although, the calling plans are becoming much more available

Megaphone has been very good to us.

Thanks I was looking into that as well.

I just wanted to share this article that I saw in the Jamaica Observer today called "Why Women do it". It's pretty interesting. I love reading Tony's articles as it is such an interesting viewpoint from a man. It's quite funny that my husband and I were just discussing this very topic a few days ago: http://www.jamaicaobserver.com/lifestyle/h...OMEN_DO_IT_.asp

Megaphone has been very good to us.

My husbands Megaphone works poorly. It drops calls all the time. He's had to take it for repair several times.

In my opinion we do all of those things for LOVE. Anyone who is currently experiencing or has before can relate. LOL You would be surprised how many men go through some similarities as we do when they are iin LOVE

Gosh, 1 more day guys ...

Less than 24 hours...I know you're a ball of emotions right now. Hopefully they are good ones.

Girl..u don't understand..I felt so bad, he was like ur gonna call me tonight right ? and he wishes I was there...I was like close ur eyes and I will be there....I don't even wanna think about it. I told him he better pay someone $100 and use their phone after he gets out ..hahhaaa..cause I can't wait till he gets home

I thought about it and tears filled my eyes

Now I want to cry...

But you know tomorrow is going to be a GOOD DAY!!!!

Oh...before you know it, you will both be together. We're all sending up prayers for you and nuff positive vibes . Can't wait to hear that he was approved

Thanks guys..I know..nothing but positive vibes. God will see us thru...

good luck i'm sure everything will work out fine.

Ok, so I told a friend of mine she has a 1yr old that she can stay with me for a little while until my husbands gets home. So far, i have not seen her buy anything food for her daughter. let me get to the point, how can I make it MORE CLEAR that I can give you a place to stay but i cannot support you and ur child cause I am the ONLY one providing for my family ? and not hurt her feelings and such?

Any suggestions ?

Thanks

Kimmy

Kimmy,

The best thing to do is be honest. Explain to her what your expectations were with letting her move there. Clearly ya'll are not in agreement on the expectations. You're not trying to hurt her feelings but if you let it continue, the truth about how you feel will come out in a not so nice manner at the wrong time.

Just speak your mind.

Kim

I think ur right. I need to be more specific..and we're relly good friend and don't want to get all crazy..so ur right..that's what I'll do

Thanks Kim

How many of you USC are Jamaican either born or grew up there?

I was born in the states and grew up in Jamaica from grade 4.

Born and raised in JA...moved to the US when I was 19, then went back for awhile when I was 22. Love my home, if only they could work out the problems there Got my citizenship April 2006.

I thought this was interesting.....

http://health.yahoo.com/experts/menlovesex...-fighting-style

Never thought there were so many styles to fighting.

I was born here but spent several yrs in JA going to school. Also I spent my summers in JA staying w/family. My mom is from Kingston and dad is from St. James.

I grew up in a prominent JA'n home, my parents made sure of that. I have also raised my daughter in one as well and with Javon he wouldn't see it any other way.

Sorry double post

Born in Jamaica came here when i was 15yrs old. I go back every year since I was 17 love it, Love it My entire family is from Jamaica except my cousins kids who were born here...but chat patois like nuttin

I was born in London but went to Jamaica at age 7 to live until I was 20....Go back like 2 times a year....

Question:

For the DS-156 (the form with the barcode), do you just make one with a barcode and make one photo copy? Or do you create two separate barcode?

i was born in brooklyn to jamaican parents (hanover/st.mary) been travelin there since i was 7 mos, would love to live there but can't afford it?

** OFF TOPIC **

Question to all of the yardies ...male & female.

What does the word - sket-telle really mean ?? Craig and I are in a big dispute and I've had some of my other jamaican friends tell me what it means, but doesn't agree.

Thanks!

Kelly

From how I understand it, a skettel would be called a chickenhead here in the States...

I would say probably saying someone who is "fast" or a "bust down". A wuklus gyal, someone who love tek mon, etc.

sketel = slut or a ho (not prostitute) basically a loose girl who sleeps around

Skettel = loose woman, no morals, careless

So I get an email from the consular (since I always email inquiries to both email addresses) today and they inform me that the correct date is September the 4th and that they are not doing interviews on the 6th. So that solves that problem.

I think in general the consulars emails have been more informative and better written. I think is some real dimwits replying from the embassy email. I mean to just tell me to wait for the letter in the mail without double checking the system is just unbelievable.

Wow, and if you went the 6th they would have told you that it was too late and you would probably have ended up delayed!!
These people make you sick!

I'm happy that you got that cleared up. Good luck on the interview

Thanks for posting this. That explains why we got a phone call saying that it has been switched to the fourth of Sep at 12:30. Lets hope this is the case. I bought my ticket today because my mother suggested that I go to support him. She believes he will have a better chance of coming up. I can't believe this came from my mother. I prayed the night before for god to send me a sign on whether I should go or not. I believe the sign is my mothers support.

Good luck on the interview tomorrow!

Marlon's is 2 weeks from tomorrow, I am still waiting for him to get the mail!

Also congrats on the real September interview dates!

Sonshyne congrats on the AOS NOA1!

*sigh*
Not much else here, just debt. Considering bankruptcy. Other than that, work, work, work!

All the best Kimmy on the interview tomorrow. He will do great!! No worries

Look into away not to file bankruptcy Sarah. I know its tough but I always recommend Dave Ramsey. He has a radio show and I have viewed a lot of his books. It helped me get on track until hubby arrived. All the best with what you do Sarah.

best wishes!!!

Oh, I'm so glad I'm not the only one! I bought a flexible one too - have it in right now! And then I bought 2 more on maternitypiercings.com - they come in longer lengths and you can cut them down to the size you want. I haven't tried those yet, but I have them. I've had my piercing for almost 9 years

I've heard of it, but never seen it. What time of day is it on? Maybe I can record it on my DVR.

Kimmy

Good luck to hubby today at his interview We can't wait to hear the good news!!!
