Good Morning...

Congrats on the approval yesterday

Hope everyone is doing good...

We got some bad news out of JA yesterday and I am just asking for some prayers. Andre's family lives in the Bushy Park Scheme in May Pen. It is a pretty tight community and everyone knows everyone. Anyways Andre's barber is right down the road from his families house and he has been good friends with his barber Oliver since Highschool. Well yesterday Oliver was trimming an off duty cop (can't remember his name now) that Andre also grew up with and would play ball with every night back in JA. Well yesterday afternoon 2 thugs came to rob Oliver's shop and held them both at gunpoint. Oliver gave them all his money and some supplies and such and as they were leaving they noticed that the guy in the chair had a gun as he was a cop and they shot him right there in the chair in the stomach and took off. Well the cop kind slouched out of the chair and started crawling towards the door and the guys who were running off noticed that he had come to the doorway so they turned back and shot him 6 more times and stole the gun. All this happened right at Oliver's feet at the steps of his barbershop. He is devasted and scared out of his mind. He is petrified that they will come back for him or his kids because he could ID them and they murdered a cop. Which we all know is pretty controversial in JA or anywhere for that matter. So Andre is super upset for his friend Oliver and also the cop as they were friends but he is even more concerned for his family as they lived only a block or two away. So if you could keep Andre, Oliver and all the families involved in your prayers that would be much appreciated. Oliver has a little child that he takes care of solely as his wife is in the US so he is under a lot of stress especially now that he is out all that money. Anyways thanks for anything you can send our way.

Oh and also...I don't have internet access at home anymore and limited access at work so for those of you who have emailed me and I haven't gotten back to you...sorry

Yes I read it in the Gleaner. I'm sorry to hear that. Its such ashame because I know that there is violence everywhere but its even more harsh down there because they don't have access to jobs. I mean even after you go to school and you acquire subjects, you still can't get jobs. There is just not enough jobs to suffice for the families in need. You would think that the government would acknowledge this and come up with some well thought out /but quick solutions. As long as I can remember, the lack of jobs exhisted. Most of my family migrated here to make a better living but there are those that want to stay home and they also should have the opportunity of making legal money. Like I said its violence everywhere but I just believe that Jamaica could be such a better place if they were granted more opportunities.

My prayers goes out to that family. So sorry to hear that

Man I feel like a tard! Marlon texted me yesterday to let me know that he got the package from me with all the forms. He also told me to call him ASAP as there were errors!

He was really cool about it (one of the many reasons I love him)! On the DS-156 I signed under applicant! And I failed to submit the DS-157!!!! OMG!

And he was like send them to me overnight and I was like baby, I have no money! So he is WUing me some money so I can send these forms to him. AND... he applied for his non-impediment form on JUNE 18 and has NOT received it yet!!!! WTF?!?! So he asked me to bombard them with emails as he NEEDS that form. *sigh* Ok, that's it for now, thanks for allowing me to vent!

Did they tell him they were going to mail it to him? Andre had to PICK up the non-impediment form. It was sitting there waiting for him. I think someone else on here said the same thing. Double check.

I just found out the Embassy is closed on Election day. My sister-in-law had an interview date on that day and now it's going to be cancelled and rescheduled for Sept. She was applying for a visitor visa but she lives in Cuba. She only goes home once every six months to renew his work visa.

As inconvenient as that may be, it is best. I think everything is closed for that day, because most Jamaicans will be locked in their homes in case things get too volatile. I know my family will go out early to vote and stay home for the rest of the day. I wish I had registered absentee so that I could cast my own vote here in the US.

They try to do it every 4-5 years, but it's up to the party in power to decide when it will be. The JLP want to make a constitutional change to name a specific date and term of power as the US constitution does.

Thanks Claire and KK, I know that all will work out! I will be expressing the papers tomorrow and hopefully Marlon will have them next week.

On another note, where are those interview questions that were asked at a recent interview?

Sarah, I don't think emailing the embassy is going to work, he will need to go to the Registrar's office that he ordered the non-impediment form from. Craig had to go and pick his up. Took a little over a month --when they told him 2 wks, even had that on the form (receipt) they gave him. He went every week (after 14 days) to check.

Everyone going for interviews and then filing for AOS, etc.................check and recheck and check again and meticulously go over your paperwork --cause the Embassy will !!! The Embassy (from what I hear/see) does NOT like mistakes. Especially missing forms. Shoot I had 2 forms that I handed them ....and the 1st window lady got snippy and was like, why do YOU have 2 forms ?? I said, we have double of everything, I apologized.

Sarah, I have a list of example questions if you'd like me to email them to you.

Here are some tips for the interview:

1. Do not volunteer information. For most questions, the shorter and more direct the answers are, the shorter the interview and the higher the chance of success. If the question is a yes or no question, give yes or no answers only. If the question is a simple question like "What is your name?" answer simply with your name.

2. If you do not know the answer to a question, do not lie. Say, "I don't know the answer to that at this time." or "I don't remember."

3. The answer to many questions will be in the papers that were sent in the petitions. Questions like, "what are your husband's parent's names". They will expect you to know the information given in your petitions. Review everything in your paperwork with your wife before her interview, and do a mock interview to see how the information may be applied.

4. Avoid saying "I think . . .". Women do this a lot. The examiner will expect you to know not be unsure, of your answers. Also, avoid adding "umm", "you know" and "ahh" type fillers to your speech.

5. When applicable, don't just state, demonstrate. If the examiner asks a question that can be answered with a document or photograph(s), provide it along with your answer.

For example, if the examiner asks, "What does your family think of your husband?", give them a picture or two with your answer; "They like him very much. Here is a picture of him with my mother and father at my parent's home."

Or, "How many attended your wedding?" Answer, "(give a number, then say) We have some lovely wedding photos of our guests having fun. Here are a few that I can show you."

6. Give American answers for dates and times. 12/24/07, not 24/12/07.

7. Dress well, but not overdressed.

8. Try to appear calm, well organized, and friendly. Nervousness raises suspicions.

9. Remain focused. If the examiner makes jokes, smile and enjoy, but do not make jokes too.

10. Make proper eye contact when conversing with the examiner, and try to control your own facial expressions so that your face remains pleasant and cordial.

11. Be audible so that your examiner doesn't have to ask you to repeat your answers.

12. Organize your papers in a way that will allow you to retrieve them easily and quickly. Examiners appreciate order and someone who doesn't waste their time.

13. When the interview is over, always ask for the results. "What should I now tell my husband about my visa status after our interview?" Before you leave, have them explain any papers they give to you and/or any procedures they will be taking to complete your case. Try to get the examiner's name for future reference, if needed. Write it down.

14. If the interview is in another city than the one you live in, arrive a day or two early to complete biometrics and get the results of your medical exam.

15. Arrive early to the consulate, but also be prepared to wait for a time past your scheduled interview appointment time. Be careful of thieves around the consulate if you have to carry cash. Bring ID; you cannot enter without it.

16. It is rare for the consulate to give you a visa on the spot. Be prepared to return for it, if approved.

For the interview, you should bring:

1. Original marriage documents, translations and certifications.

2. Formal, long form birth certificate.

3. Copies of any divorce records or death decrees of former significant other(s).

4. Passport, with an expiration date of no earlier than 6 months. Try to have more than 6 months before expiration.

5. Police certificate with "Nothing" written on it, indicating no criminal record

6. Fingerprints (consulate will instruct you regarding how, when and where these will be taken). There is a fee for this.

7. Medical exam results (consulate will instruct you regarding how, when and where this will be taken). There is a fee for this. Make sure you get a copy from the medical examiner.

8. Passport type photos of each of you. (consulate will instruct you regarding these)

Original passport for petitioner
Original passport for beneficiary
Original birth certificate for petitoner
Original birth certificate for beneficiary
Police certificate from Jamaica
New I-864 Affidavit of Support form

1. Do not volunteer information. For most questions, the shorter and more direct the answers are, the shorter the interview and the higher the chance of success. If the question is a yes or no question, give yes or no answers only. If the question is a simple question like "What is your name?" answer simply with your name.

2. If you do not know the answer to a question, do not lie. Say, "I don't know the answer to that at this time." or "I don't remember."

3. The answer to many questions will be in the papers that were sent in the petitions. Questions like, "what are your husband's parent's names". They will expect you to know the information given in your petitions. Review everything in your paperwork with your wife before her interview, and do a mock interview to see how the information may be applied.

4. Avoid saying "I think . . .". Women do this a lot. The examiner will expect you to know not be unsure, of your answers. Also, avoid adding "umm", "you know" and "ahh" type fillers to your speech.

5. When applicable, don't just state, demonstrate. If the examiner asks a question that can be answered with a document or photograph(s), provide it along with your answer.

For example, if the examiner asks, "What does your family think of your husband?", give them a picture or two with your answer; "They like him very much. Here is a picture of him with my mother and father at my parent's home."

Or, "How many attended your wedding?" Answer, "(give a number, then say) We have some lovely wedding photos of our guests having fun. Here are a few that I can show you."

6. Give American answers for dates and times. 12/24/07, not 24/12/07.

7. Dress well, but not overdressed.

8. Try to appear calm, well organized, and friendly. Nervousness raises suspicions.

9. Remain focused. If the examiner makes jokes, smile and enjoy, but do not make jokes too.

10. Make proper eye contact when conversing with the examiner, and try to control your own facial expressions so that your face remains pleasant and cordial.

11. Be audible so that your examiner doesn't have to ask you to repeat your answers.

12. Organize your papers in a way that will allow you to retrieve them easily and quickly. Examiners appreciate order and someone who doesn't waste their time.

13. When the interview is over, always ask for the results. "What should I now tell my husband about my visa status after our interview?" Before you leave, have them explain any papers they give to you and/or any procedures they will be taking to complete your case. Try to get the examiner's name for future reference, if needed. Write it down.

14. If the interview is in another city than the one you live in, arrive a day or two early to complete biometrics and get the results of your medical exam.

15. Arrive early to the consulate, but also be prepared to wait for a time past your scheduled interview appointment time. Be careful of thieves around the consulate if you have to carry cash. Bring ID; you cannot enter without it.

16. It is rare for the consulate to give you a visa on the spot. Be prepared to return for it, if approved.

For the interview, you should bring:

1. Original marriage documents, translations and certifications.

2. Formal, long form birth certificate.

3. Copies of any divorce records or death decrees of former significant other(s).

4. Passport, with an expiration date of no earlier than 6 months. Try to have more than 6 months before expiration.

5. Police certificate with "Nothing" written on it, indicating no criminal record

6. Fingerprints (consulate will instruct you regarding how, when and where these will be taken). There is a fee for this.

7. Medical exam results (consulate will instruct you regarding how, when and where this will be taken). There is a fee for this. Make sure you get a copy from the medical examiner.

8. Passport type photos of each of you. (consulate will instruct you regarding these)

I went to a high school that wore green uniforms, but lived in a PNP garrison. When it was election time, we couldn't wear uniform to school. Sad...

If we get the 2yr visa, what would I have to do? The lady didn't explain anything to him yesterday

Thanks

Apply for the 10 year 90 days before that 2 year expires.

Rejoice in ANY visa at this point and don't sweat this small stuff right now.

Not that I'm not excited, but i just want to know what my next steps are. Would love to not have to do anything else at this point, thats all

If I am not mistaken, I think red is an issue as well. People associate it with PNP along with orange. I think Mona High and St. Andrew's High had to be careful as their uniform had red in it . The Queen's girls would take off their red ties as well

It is stories like this that make me take a step back and thank God Andre is no longer there. Happens everywhere, I know; but seems to be way too frequently in JA.

Donna mentioned to me the other night not to wear orange or green when I come for the interview because of the elections this month. Sometimes people get shot for wearing the opposing party's color. Nomination Day is Aug. 7th and Election Day is on Aug. 27th. I pray these elections come and go without violence. I hope to have Donna here by that time.

I'd say let's pray they come and go without ANY MORE violence. I am saddened to read the Gleaner every morning and see the election associated violence. Part of my saddness is that I believe the parties running are causing it by design.

Congrats Kimmy!!!! Whooo. I hope you receive that 10 year green card. When he gets here you will wait a month to receive the green card. Once you get the green card take that and his passport to the nearest social Security agent and apply for a soc card. You will get that with in 5 to 10 working days. Then he can apply for jobs, get his state id, and his drivers licenses. If you get the 10 year card then you wont have to apply to lift conditions 90 days before it expires. When is your hubby going to come up? Did you guys plan a date? You must be dancing and singing now. All the best Kimmy with the new journey that starts with your lives together

Good Morning...

Congrats on the approval yesterday

Hope everyone is doing good...

We got some bad news out of JA yesterday and I am just asking for some prayers. Andre's family lives in the Bushy Park Scheme in May Pen. It is a pretty tight community and everyone knows everyone. Anyways Andre's barber is right down the road from his families house and he has been good friends with his barber Oliver since Highschool. Well yesterday Oliver was trimming an off duty cop (can't remember his name now) that Andre also grew up with and would play ball with every night back in JA. Well yesterday afternoon 2 thugs came to rob Oliver's shop and held them both at gunpoint. Oliver gave them all his money and some supplies and such and as they were leaving they noticed that the guy in the chair had a gun as he was a cop and they shot him right there in the chair in the stomach and took off. Well the cop kind slouched out of the chair and started crawling towards the door and the guys who were running off noticed that he had come to the doorway so they turned back and shot him 6 more times and stole the gun. All this happened right at Oliver's feet at the steps of his barbershop. He is devasted and scared out of his mind. He is petrified that they will come back for him or his kids because he could ID them and they murdered a cop. Which we all know is pretty controversial in JA or anywhere for that matter. So Andre is super upset for his friend Oliver and also the cop as they were friends but he is even more concerned for his family as they lived only a block or two away. So if you could keep Andre, Oliver and all the families involved in your prayers that would be much appreciated. Oliver has a little child that he takes care of solely as his wife is in the US so he is under a lot of stress especially now that he is out all that money. Anyways thanks for anything you can send our way.

Jamie

Oh and also...I don't have internet access at home anymore and limited access at work so for those of you who have emailed me and I haven't gotten back to you...sorry

Jamie sorry to heat that you guys are in our prayers.

Ask him about Rockfort, Harbour View, Dunkirk, Brown's Town, Rae Town, Port Royal, Manley Meadows, Bower Bank to name a FEW.

Green is for the Labour Party, aka Laborites, nothing to do with the JDF as a whole, orange/red is for PNP, has nothing to do with the ENTIRE police force....

That threw me for a loop as well...maybe his comment on Westmoreland stems from the fact that this is where PJ Patterson is from. I will definitely say that there are no distinct parishes that are for 1 party or the other. There are definite areas that they call garrison communities that by far are aligned with the political parties. I would just love to see the parties work for the good of the country, instead of their own selfish needs.

For Chicago people:

Lollapapooza is this weekend at Grant Park. I know its pretty expensive for a one day pass. This is a 3 day festival in Grant park and kids under 10 may be admitted for free. There is music all day from 11am and the last act goes on at 8pm. The biggest Act I saw was Pearl Jam closing out the program on Sunday night.

Stephen Marley (on tour until the end of Sept) is playing in the afternoon on Saturday and The Wailers are playing on Sunday evening. I feel so old I haven't been to this festival sense 1995.

Congrats Kimmy!!!! Whooo. I hope you receive that 10 year green card. When he gets here you will wait a month to receive the green card. Once you get the green card take that and his passport to the nearest social Security agent and apply for a soc card. You will get that with in 5 to 10 working days. Then he can apply for jobs, get his state id, and his drivers licenses. If you get the 10 year card then you wont have to apply to lift conditions 90 days before it expires. When is your hubby going to come up? Did you guys plan a date? You must be dancing and singing now. All the best Kimmy with the new journey that starts with your lives together

!!

I may have missed this, but are there only certain cases where a 10 year green card is received? Do they only give this one out for certain reasons? This is the first time hearing about getting a 10 year card.

Thanks!
