Hello All! I am pretty new around here and just reading all the posts! It makes me a little "home" sick for the Caribbean. While my fiance is from St Lucia, I love Jamaica and miss it as well. I can't wait for April - going to visit Louis in St Lucia - I hope the time passes fast!

I just came in from waiting for the bus with my little kindergartner... it is so effing cold outside which does not help with the "home" sickness either!!! Brrrrrrrrrrr!!!

Welcome Iriecat! Feel free to join us here anytime. How long are you going for in April? What part of JA have you been too?

I am going to St Lucia in April for just over 2 weeks. My daughter will have spring break and I am letting her miss a week of school (its kindergarten!) She would be so upset if I didnt take her with me and I wouldnt be able to stay as long if I didnt bring her either... She loves Louis as much as I do and she can't wait to see her friends! She was a pretty popular girl in St Lucia - I dont know how many men asked me to have more children for them LOL!!! (she is mixed and quite a beauty!)

Jamaica - Mostly MoBay - My company works with Half Moon and we used to represent Tryall, Round Hill and Coyaba. I did go for work a couple times and made some friends. Then Brought my daughter there a couple years ago for vacation and we went to Bob's house and spent some time in the country in St Catherine. I could drive you there if we were on the island but I cannot remember the exact names of the towns! LOL

I need some advice.....

Look at mt time-line and you can see the frustration. My wife (who is jamaicn) dropped off the 230 form on Dec. 27th and we still have not heard anything. Seems like the embassy in not organized at all. Should i call to see if they have scheduled an interview date yet? If so what is the best number to call?

Also, we still haven't gotten a passport for her daughter yet....how long does it take to get one?

I would call the Embassy at: 876-702-6000 or better yet call the US number - 202-663-1225 and ask them the status of your case!!!

That's foolishness...since 12/27!!!!!

Surrrrrrrrrrrps....light a fire under someone baxside!!!

I hear the holidays have slowed things down a bit. Like she said above, you can try and call.

The passport for the child shouldn't take too long. I would have her go ASAP, though. Just in case.

Jason,

Look at my time line. There are not many K-3 filers on this thread. Most Yardie members are K-1 or CR-1. I know that you are extremely frustrated. Don't waste your time calling the Embassy. Once a date has been scheduled, the State Department will have that information in the system. Once the DS-230 is entered in Kingston, it generally takes 2-3 months to obtain an interview date. Call 202-663-1225 (State Department). Have your case number ready when you call. This number is invaluable because after you get approved, you can also check the status of the visa (e.g. Has it been printed)?

As far as your stepdaughter's passport, did your wife use regular or express service?
