I got a copy of the packet three in the mail over the weekend. The mister is going to the post office today to see if he got his copy. I've been reading through it and I just want to verify the next step (because the info on the US Embassy website and the info in the letter are not quite the same) - all my fiance has to do is fill out the DS-230 and return that to the Embassy to get the interview scheduled? Can this be done online? What recommendations does any one have to make this go as smoothly as possible?

The rest seems pretty clear cut about what documents need to be gathered to bring to the interview.

Thanks!

Ms. H;

Request an appt to drop of the DS-230, it's easy. They'll try and convince to mail it in as they did with me, but I told them I'd rather have my fiance drop it off. I requested the appt. for the drop on Monday they gave me the appt for Thursday the same week. Our packet 3 came very early...packet 4 was another thing. I ended up with 3 and my fiance ended up with 2 after I e-mailed the embassy several times telling them I never received it. I guess they got sick of me, but hey...I wanted my questions answered. They emailed me 4 times in 1 hour. If you have any questions, I can honestly say they'll answer it. If they don't, e-mail them again and put in the subject line along with the KINGSTON number 2nd Inquiry, 3rd Inquiry and so on.

Let me tell you about the mail system in Jamaica (you may already know)...It's DAMNNNNNNNN slow. The embassy said the mailed packet 4 on April 18th...we waited and waited and nothing. So, I sent an e-mail. My last e-mail to them was very FIRM and well they mailed in May 5th and my fiance got it May 7th (two days); so, I don't understand how they can mail something from Kingston and you won't get it for 3 weeks. I just don't understand that.

What comes in packet 4?

OMG I hated that so much. My thing was the vomiting. I don't know why they called it morning sickness mine was all day long. I was always hungry. I'm just thankful that my son was able to get to 6 pounds when I had him. I only gained 3. All I had to do was smell something that wasn't right. I used to love Irish Spring soap before I got pregnant, but if I smelled it...it was all over for me.

How do you know when you're a mom, when you're covered in vomit fom your face to your waist. Thanks to my son. That was how I spent memorial day.

Your interview date! Basically that's it! But Mista needs it to attend the medical.

It's the interview letter, plus some other forms and instructions for the medical. You need the interview letter for the medical and to get in on the day of your interview. If you don't have the letter they will not let you into the embassy (even if you name on the list).

Uh-oh...GO LAWNY!!!! She's Dead on Ms. H!!! Send them an email and in the subject line put your KNG# /Request appointment date to drop off DS-230. This will help to speed up your interview date...it'll probably be August at this point!

Kimmy, try Ice chips, this will keep the mouth and throat wet. You won't have the need to spit so much.

ICE CHIPS, Watermellon and strawberries. ALL DAY LONG.

Men's cologne made me vomit.

Shopping cured all of it. That's what I told my EX. I told him pregnancy was a handicapp, so I needed to shop. Shop till I dropped, best dress pregnant woman in the whole office building. I remember my Ex asking me How long do you plan on being pregnant.
