Tourist Visa

[Boiler 43,535]

The process is not random.

They have a detailed form in front of them, we have a couple of lines of comments.

I have seen people get visa's where I thought it very unlikely and vice versa.

Most times it is reasonably obvious. It is partly subjective so there are bound to be odd ones out.

Gladys, if he wants to go that routet have apply for the visitor's visa -- you won't know the outcome until he does. I have many family and friends who have applied and didn't have much ties to the island and were approved. You just don't know -- and he'll never know until he tries and he already knows (I'm sure) how difficult it is to get a visitor's visa from the embassy AND trust me you're not the only woman who have met a man while visiting JAMAICA...

Thanks for taking the time to responding to my post. Just wonder what the odds are, didn't want to waste time and money. We are going to take the relationship futher, but we also wanted to do things the right way. And beleive me I'm not offended by the comment, about Jamacia men.I don't care where we meet. I'm just glad we met.

Nobody can tell you the odds of his application being successful.

More than likely, it will be very difficult for him to get a visitor's visa - he has to prove that he does not have intent to immigrate - which is shown by owning land, a bank account, a letter from his employer stating his return date, etc... Also, he needs to show that he has enough money to support himself while he is in the US -

It's not a given that he will be denied, but highly likely - it's a crapshoot with JA - we have seen people get visas who had nothing, we have seen others that had all that they need get denied.

Thanks for the advise but I think we are going to start with the fiance visa.

I am sure he wants to visit but beware hey Gladys and don't go marrying him to get him to USA. And if he does not have an address to return to or able to pay for his trip while here then not likely.

When I get married it will be for love, not just to help him leave Jamacia, but thanks for the advise.

BEWARE...I have heard horror stories about Jamacian men crusing resorts to find a woman so they can get out of the country...

Nothing against Jamica...I am just saying that I have heard stories...

I don't want to diappoint you are anything, but he wasn't crusing the resort we just happen to met though a friends. And by the way I've heard the talk and I ignore it. It doesn't apply to this Jamacian man. Thanks for the advise anyway.

my husband had been denied 3 times for a vistor visa (all before our marriage took place) and he has a daughter in Jamaica, been at his job for 16 years, letter from employer regarding 2 week leave and a letter of reference/character for him, and my mom sent him $5000 to put in the bank to get a letter so show he has funds to support himself here for 2 weeks......DENIED all 3 times.....yep def a ####### shoot.....and to who made the comment about jamaican men going to find women at reorts to marry them just get out of country....it happens EVERYWHERE in the world....not just jamaica! great answer sus! i love mi vj sistas! and i hate ignorant people!

Beautiful family and thanks.
