Yardies, at home and a farrin' (Part 6)

[Ms. Hellwig 0]

I forgot who was it that stayed at the CHRISTAR VILLAS in Kingston. If you did please link me. I want to know how the property was. If you have any other recomendations for the Kingston area, please type it here. Thanks.

Good afternoon Trelawny,

I stayed at The Courtleigh Hotel and Suites in Kingston, whenever I go to JA. I love the hotel, because the buffet breakfast is included in the cost of the room. Whenever I am there I only need to eat my breakfast at the hotel since my in-laws are feeding me for lunch and dinner. I give this hotel a 4.5 rating, it is clean, safe and was very accommodating to my indivual needs. This might sound a little snobbish it is a real Hotel, not a motel(like motel8). I don't want anyone to take this wrong, but I hate motels.

Tre, I strongly recommend this hotel, but again , to each it own.

Thanks Roxie, no offense taken. I don't do motels either. After finding condoms (USED) in the bathtub that was it for me. No more motels.

thanks for the great info. I was thinking of staying at a hotel the night of interview so we aren't late for the 730 appointment. Are these hotels near the Embassy?

Thanks

Hi Wakey,

This Hotel is right next door to the Hilton, close to the Embassy. The Embassy recommends the Hilton, but price is tooo high for the lack of accommondations. Again, the breakfast buffet is GREAT.

I remember the hotel now. Thanks.

The Courtleigh looks lovely.

FYI - I was farting around and searching for hotels and found that the Hilton offers a AAA discount.

I remember there was some chat about this "the other day", but I can't remember the outcome. If you are permanent resident with a social security number but not a U.S. Citizen, do you get a stimulus check?

Good afternoon everyone.

Follow this link to your stimuls check https://sa1.www4.irs.gov/irfof/IRServlet?app=IRACTC.

Roxie,

I didn't see those rates on the Courtleigh website but I did find them at orbitz.com. Thanks! I agree - that price is MUCH better.

Well, now tht I spoke with him things do look better. He actuallygot there a little after 8am and got #25 and went through to the CO who reviewed his papers and said everthing is ok but she needs the other copy of the PC. When he comes back with it, he will get the visa. I looked at the copy that I have and it seems like it is the original, so I will bring it down when I go in two weeks. He is rescheduled for June 26th.

Thank you all for your empathy in this overwhelming situation. I really appreciate it. I am more upset about it than he is. He said that it will work itself out and that God know best. Not to worry. I wish I had the inner calm that he has. Thngs like this does not bother him as much as it does me.

june 26 is my anniversary. thats a good sign :)try not to let this get you down claire..just use this time to complete some kind of great project for his arrival?

So sad, what a way for people to reach out for help. If you're out there, you're fogiven, and I'm here.

Lawny, you have the biggest !!!

IS -- I try. I just had to get what was on my mind out. It was my way of reaching back, a bit harsh some may think, but you have to be like that sometimes. Once I do that, I'm good to go.

Did you call Ms. Cleo yet? You know Sunny is waiting on her.

Yes I am because I looked in my e-mail today and NOTHING was there.

He actually got there around 0745 and they took him right in and he had the interview. He was laughing and all about the whole thing, how easy it was, although he was a bunch of nerves.

He told me a story about a guy who was there for a fiance visa and couldn't spell his finance name and the CO said "this is the woman who you want to spend the rest of your life with and you can't spell her name?" She spelled it for him but when he went to write it he look uncertain and she said "I am not helping you anymore." Mike said he left before the guy's interview was completed. Another lady was there with her 18yo daughter and had issues with the AOS and they gave her a paper to come back.

Mike got a yellow paper with missing documents to resubmit on 6/26. I have never heard about a yellow paper. Has anyone else? I guess I will see it when I go home in two weeks.

Bad News Guys.

I am crying my heart and eyes out right now. Mike's interview was rescheduled for June because he did not have the second copy of the police certificate. I look and realized that I still have the extra copy. I had emailed the consulate, after Tonya posted and said Drew was asked for his, and was told that it was not necessary for him to have it if it was sent to the NVC

Now when he got there he was turned back. They did not even do the interview and schedule a time for him to drop it off, they rescheduled the whole interview. How can they be so cruel and disheartening?

I have to talk to him when he gets home to get the full story.

Learn from my experience all who have their interviews coming up. Make sure you have the second copy of the police certificate with you.

Oh, Clair. I am so sorry.

Hugs........

Thanks JG.. This too shall pass.
