I know, but geezzz

That's a great idea..but now I won't have room

Who lives in Atlanta?? We were planing to go to Atlanta for a PriAmerica siminar, but it looks as though we won't be attending the siminar, but we thought we could enjoy the city instead

I'm hip to Arizona, but I've been to all the other places. I also really like Atlanta, although alot of traffic. The heck with "4 seaons". Up north in Arizona there's cold and snow, but I love it out there when I lived there. We're heading there for vacation in August. Takin my son tubin down the Salt River ...can't wait !!!

It's supposed to FINALLY be soooo nice here this weekend....what do we have, soccer and more soccer !!!

Have a great weekend everyone.

I agree Have a great weekend!!

I'm going to enjoy some quiet free time to my self while I can.
I have a few mins alone, hubby went to play soccer and my daugther went to Friday night fun night, the boys don't bother me much thank goodness.

Enjoy the weekend the weather was great here today too. As for the weekend I have to work.

I just noticed I got another heart

hey guys just join VJ and a give a big up to everyone

Welcome Kimmy to the yardie group All the best on your visa process.

THANK YOU I NEED I'M GETTING A LITTLE DEPRESSES IT SEEMS IT'S TAKING LONGER THAN EXPECTED

I just noticed that I did too! Only another 1000 posts to go



Welcome! It can be depressing but hang in there it will be over before you know it. If you don't mind I would love to hear a bit about yourself...How long have you been married? When did you send in your petition?

Again welcome to the Yardies thread!

Wow Kimmy it looks like you have been waiting almost a year since your marriage. No wonder you are frustrated hang in there.

YES I HAVE BEEN..IT WILL SOON BE A YEAR SINCE I FILED...IT'S GOING TO BE 2 YRS SINCE WE GOT MARRIED..I JUST HAD MY DAUGHTER THAT SAME YEAR AND WAS OUT FOR 4MTHS SO...THATS WHAT REALLY CAUSED THE DELAY IN THE PROCESS

THANKS ....I'LL BE MARRIED 2 YRS IN MAY....I SENT MY PETITION 4/26/06..AND GOT AND APPROVAL IN AUGUST EVERYTHING WAS GOING SMOOTHE UNTIL IT HIT JAMAICA..AND I TRY CALLING, EMAILING AND NOTHING..SO MI A RUN OUTTA PATIENCE YAH NOW..I WAS JUST DOWN THERE 2 WKS ABOUT..I THOUGHT I WOULD HAVE LEST HEARD SOMETHING ABOUT THE INTERVIEW BUT NOTHING...

BUT U KNOW BELWIN MI SEND OFF MY I-130 4MTHS BEFORE YOU RIGHT? HOW MINE A TEK SO DARN LONG

I have a conection I think. My dad is in a high postion in his burb of Chicago and the former speaker of the house our sentor has his office in the same town. It is all about the conections and knowing people I believe in this world. It is sad to say. Or maybe different cases take longer to clear with FBI checks that is what I have heard. I also used this thing called James short cuts on here it saved me a good two solid months at NVC.

Same thing with the taxes ITTN and getting my husbands copies of his passport notarized. I knew a notary.

One more thing that I think helped I had relationship pictures in my I-130 from 1999 up to our wedding and I sent one in with Dwain and My family in the pictures. Just guessing this also may make a difference that I have about 8 years worth of evidence. You should see my interview binder it weighs a ton. My mom was asking do I really need all of that stuff. I wanted more but she is not willing to dig through her boxes for more proof. She is convieced we will do just fine.

UR SO RIGHT...LINKS GET YOU FAR..ALL WAS GOING WELL UNTIL WE HIT KINGSTON, BUT ALL IS FOR A REASON GOD HAS A PLAN...TALKING TO U GUYS HAS REALLY CALM MY NERVES A LITTLE I MUST SAY....

THANKS

Wow that is a long time. Maybe your interview will after your 2 yr anniversary so your spouse will get the IR visa instead and won't have to remove conditions like the rest of us.

Welcome to VJ!

HEY NYSENESS THATS ONE OF LOOKING AT IT...A POSITIVE WAY I SHOULD SAY...

DO I HAVE TO FILL OUT DS 156, 156K, 157 EVEN THOUGH THEY ARE NON-IMMIGRANT APPLICATIONS...I'M A LITTLE CONFUSED.. WHAT WILL I GET IN PACKETS 3 AND 4 ?

THANKS

Yes, you're waaaaay too impatient Your NOA1 is ONLY 2 weeks old!!! I had to wait approx. 90 days from my NOA1 til the NOA2. Count yourself lucky that you're going thru Vermont.

Jamie, thank you SOOOOOOO much for sharing your story. I've been really worried about you and wondering how things were going. You are doing the RIGHT thing. If you need anything at all, e-mail me, PM me or call me.

We You

I think it would be even better if we did do a "wife swap"!!! Wouldn't that be funny to see how everyone else's Jamaican husband REALLY was??!!!

Jamie, I LOVE your Jamaican butterfly!!! Where did you get that? I want one

You ladies chat too much I'm never gonna get my 2nd

HEY RHONDAPAYTER I WASN'T SURE IF YOU WERE EPLYING TO ME...WHAT DO U MEAN MY NOA IS ONLY 2 WKS ? IM NOT EVEN SURE WHAT HALF OF THESE ACRONYMS ARE

THANKS

Good morning.

HEY DISREGARD...I SAW WHAT YOU WERE REPLYING TO..FORGIVE A LITTLE NEW TO THIS

GOOD MORNING

Hello all. The stranger is back. First thing VISA APPROVED Thursday April 19th.

Of course as the rest of our case went it was another roller coaster ride. Here’s how the last month or so went. Where I left off we were told Nickiesha needed another physical on her interview on Feb 20th. They also told us that they would schedule her a BLUE SHEET interview before her police report expired on March 23rd, if we got the physical done quickly. That day we scheduled another physical for just a few days later. The following day I requested the appointment. It took weeks for them to come back with an April 3rd date; of course this was too late for the police report. Calls reminding them of their promise by myself and Indiana Senator Lugar’s office had no effect. So Nickiesha goes for an expedited police report. She returns as scheduled to pick it up. They tell her sorry it’s not ready we will send it to your local police station for Thursday April 5th. Of course that is too late so we have to reschedule the interview. Of course it did show up in the afternoon on April 3rd. I manage to get an April 19th date at 12:30, which is 1:30 here in Indiana. Around 2pm I get a call from Nickiesha, they will not let her in for the interview; her name is not on the list. I tell her to wait across the street; I’m going to make some calls. I call Senator Lugar’s office, they say they’ll call the embassy and see what they can do. I call a few times myself, I get routed to voicemail and then eventually to the idiot security guard that was giving my wife the problems in the first place. End result of my calls the idiot tells me that we will have to get another appointment. I tell him that this isn’t the end of it they will be hearing from a US Senator. About 45 minutes later I get a call from the senator’s office. They tell me they found where she did have an appointment and had no explanation why she was not on the list. He still had them on the line at the time. He asks me if she is still there. I say yes she is waiting across the street. I was told she should come back in 5 minutes they will let the security guard know she can be let in. I would have loved to see that man’s face when he was told. I suspect the office was embarrassed over the situation as when she got to the door they brought her straight in, took her passport and police report and she was out of there in less than 20 minutes. Throughout this whole procedure they including the previous interview they never asked her one question.

Nickiesha’s flight is next week Saturday. Four years and five scheduled interviews later finally a visa.

Congrats Eric

A BIG congratulations!!! Unbelievable.... They were definitely trying your patience.
Well wishes and a safe flight for your wife...

THis should be fine, only the w-2 in a separate mail concerns me. I filed 3 years as single and amended them all at the same time when we finally got the paperwork to file for the ITIN. It took a few months but the refund checks eventually showed up. Funny thing is, when getting a transcript on my taxes from the IRS the amended tax returns did not show, only the originals.

CONGRATULATIONS!!! Finally after waiting so long

Thanks for coming back and letting us know how it all happened...I can't believe all the crap you have had to go through Congrats again

CONGRATS ERIC...I'M IN THE WAITING FROM FOR INTERVIEW DATE FOR MY HUSBAND...

Good morning all!!! Hope you have a great weekend.

You will get a packet 4, You will not need to file any of the below. Packet 4 will provide instructions for photos, police reports, medical form and list of doctors that can provide it. and the last 2 pages of the DS-230.

They are in disarray in Kingston since the move in December and can't keep track of anything properly. It is time for you to call
Phone (All visa inquiries): (876) 702-6000, Monday and Friday 1:30 – 3:30 p.m.
and enquire about your appointment.

One note: Make sure if he has smoked weed he hasn't for at least 4 months before the physical, and he should never admit it on the paperwork or to anyone. They will bar him from the US for 3 years from the date of the interview, or from the time he admitted to stopping smoking.

Thanks Eric....He told me has not me but he is around ppl that do..and I wouldn't doubt him doing it evry once in a while..damn him...I will start calling on Monday...They replied to one of my emails saying I have an appt May 24th but it didn't specify for what so I am assuming it is for checking the status of the case...3 more yrs wow..thats a long time

That would be the Interview, you should get the packet 4 soon. They sent ours to both myself and my wife, though mail is slow in JA. I'd wait till friday, if you or your hubby have not received packet 4 yet. Then call and request an appointment to come to the information window to pick it up, letting them know when you appointment is scheduled for.

Be clear to hubby they will find out if he's smoked in the past 4 months and it is worth the delay of rescheduling to be sure he's not stuck in JA for 3 more years.

YOU THINK IT'S THE INTERVIEW ? THEY DIDN'T SAY FOR WHAT....IS IT TOO FAR OUT FOR A INQUIRY DATE ? PLUS IT'S FOR 1 IN THE AFTERNOON....YEAH UR RIGHT..A MONTH OR 2 DELAY IS BETTER THAT 3YRS..

THANKS ERIC APPRECIATE IT

THANKS GUYS




THANKS FOR THE WELCOME JONESIE

I'll be back tomorrow - going to a friend's house and she's cooking enchiladas and tamales for me and I am just too excited to have authentic Mexican food this has been one of the few cravings I've had

Have a good night everyone! Rhonda, hang in there at work

Congrats Eric!

And welcome Kimmy!

I'm still waiting for my NOA2. I did contact my district office of my congressman and they are mailing me a release of information form so I can send it back and have them call CSC to ask what the hold up is. I know, people have been waiting far longer than me but I am almost at the 90 day mark!

HEY GUYS, DOES ANYONE HAVE AN IDEA OF HOW MY HUSBAND WHO IS IN JAMAICA CAN GET IMMUNIZATION RECORDS OR HAVE THEM DONE AGAIN HIS ORIGINALS WERE DESTROYED ? SHOULD HE GET THEM BEFORE HIS MEDICAL OR AT THE MEDICAL ?

THANK YOU

He can get any needed shots at the physical. It'll cost about $120US

They can do that at the medical it cost my husband 200 dollars.

Congrats Eric!!!





I couple of ppl actually went to a local doctor to get the necessary immunication shots and brought the record to the medical. It came out a little cheaper. You should try calling the doctor's office and make an appt at least two wks prior to the interview. That way the embassy will recv it prior to the interview.

good suggestion nyceness. my fiance's immunization records are lost so he will be getting them prior to his medical.

hey belwin- did your hubby have to start all over with his immunizations? Do you know which specific shots he did get?

eric- what will be your wife's port of entry?

He had his shots that were done when he went to school. He said he had to get two shots and one more a little later in May. I sent him 250 for the whole process. There was a green sheet stating him not to go to a doctors clinic. So he didn't want to ruin his chances so he stuck to the plan. I think so far this whole thing has costed me 3,000 USA dollars paperwork and his items to get. By the time I get my hubby here about 3,500. This is my airfare, hotel, police records, rides to Kingston to get them, doctors visit, passport, birthcertificate, passport photos. I am so suprised they are uping the fees too.
