Travelling to the US from Jamaica while consular processing for I-130

[Mrs. Dea 10]

Good day 

 

I am not sure how to get this thread in the Jamaican portal.

 

But my question is did anyone have problems traveling to the US while consular filing for I-130 was in process? What were the circumstances? 

This is under the circumstances that you already have a visiting visa at the time the petition was filed.

Just update your profile and select Jamaica as your country  and any threads you make will automatically appear there.

Thank you I tried that now and I see like a hashtag with Jamaica but I go in the Jamaican portal and my question is still not there.

You have to click edit profile then under "Immigration info" you click the "Country" drop down menu and choose Jamaica.

There is an entire pinned thread at the top of this forum about visiting during the process.  Start there.  If you already have a visa and have used it and left the US before, there is usually no problem.  Be prepared as described in the pinned thread.

@pushbrk thank you. Indeed I saw the thread before posting this question because after going through the thread I did not see any Jamaican posting or answering same. As one person said in the thread; there may be differences of treatment based on the country arriving from so I posted it to see if I could get an answer specific to arriving from JA'can ports. It was a helpful thread and I will indeed be prepared.

While some issues are country specific, what can make the most difference is how many other times you have entered and exited in the past without abusing the privilege.
