Lawny...the Sienna is the only minivan I will ever buy if mi a buy one...mi have a camry..LOVE IT...trunk...HUGE...leg room...Massive....gas ....GREAT.....no complaints at al...love anything Toyota makes .. Next year though by the grace of God and baby # 2 comes..mi plan fi get the Highlander....cyan bodda wid 2 BABY inna one cyar..

Hey Quana...it is very hard for a visitor visa approval w/o strong enough ties to the country..nothing tried nothing done though...don't be discouraged..u maybe the one that gets it...

VJ a go mad..how mi end up wid a double post...

Thanks Kimmy,

Yes you are right.. he is a strong willed man and he will def not give up, he was denied last year and has reapplied w/ his new interview this Friday. I am pulling for him, but I am a little worried he may not be good candidate seeing how u have to show strong ties to JA. RG has worked the past 6 mnths in the Bahamas, he just moved back the last couple of days. He has children in JA so maybe that would be a good thing, but may not hold very much weight. I don't know if he understands that him not having long term residence in JA could be hindering him and therefore he is wasting his money. Nevertheless, I am keeping my fingers crossed for him.

Girl..betta him waste fi him dan fi yuh... mek him try just be prepared whatever comes..good or bad...

Hello everyone, I am quana (dancehallquana)

I been getting alot of good wisdom as well as laughs from VJ over the last couple of months, and just recently decided to join. My prayers are with all of you that have experienced heartache and discouragement this past week and hope that you are all encouraged and strenghened through it all.

I am not yet on a visa journey, but have been enjoying getting to know a special friend that I met in Jamaica Jully 2007. RG will be applying (for the second time around) for his visitor VISA or B2 I think?? I wanted to know if any of your SO had ever applied in the past before filing for their current VISA's. I have heard that it is pretty difficult to get approved. I know that this kind of VISA is not normally discussed here, but if anyone has any insight or experiences they would like to give, I would appreciate it.

My ex got a B2 a few years back.

He had a good job with Soctiabank, I'm sure that helped.

If he has a decent job, presents himself well, pretty sure that would make a difference.

But whatever he does,he should NOT tell them he has a girlfriend in the States.

It is pretty hard but not impossible to get the visitor's visa, but they will go over his application with a fine tooth comb!

good point !!

Tanks JAE, JG, and Tre!!! Good info fi tru!!

Kimmy ya sound like mi gyals here in TX, dey sey "Gyal ya mad?? ya betta let ya man git da VISA, and keep ya flight money in ya di bank fa Sumfest!!! LOL

Quana..dat is too funny..but a don't blame them one bit...

[Shemmy 4]

mi have a camry..LOVE IT...trunk...HUGE...leg room...Massive....gas ....GREAT.....no complaints at al...love anything Toyota makes ..

I miss my Camry Damien totalled it last year. Great car.

Andre said no small Toyota's for us. And no white cars. He kind of burnt out cause of all of them in JA.

small ? u must be talking bout the RAV4..my camry is bigger than a RAV4..dats why if mi nah get di highlander..mi not changing mi cyar....mi hate white cars to..will never buy one ..neva !!!

I was thinking the same thing..Camrys are spacious. Or maybe a Corrolla. I really wanted Damien to buy a Corrolla because he was used to driving (with no license) a smaller car.

Well...

Not to put a damper on things but I really wanted/need to get this out...

A and I had a counseling session last night after a no contact separation (we have been living separate since last May but still in contact) for the last 30 days - sort of a last ditch attempt for him to realize the severity of it all. As much heartbreak and pain as this decision has caused me it has been decided that we will be filing for divorce Never in a million years did I think this would happen to me. After attempting to work on our marriage for almost 2 years and to still be in square 1 with little to no progress...well there is only so much one person can do. I feel like I did everything I could to save our marriage and I did it with integrity. So as much as my heart hurts I know that it was a necessary decision at this stage in everything and there is no uncertainty in the decision. I am at peace with it as hard and heartbreaking as it is. I am not going to go into too many details here on the public forum but I wanted you all to know what was happening. I am not sure what is going to happen with the whole removing of conditions...I don't even want to think about that right now. So anyways...thank you for all the love, support and prayers, I know a lot of you were rooting for our marriage to pull through. Please keep the whole situation in your prayers. It is definitely one of the worst times in my life.

Oh, girl, I'm so sorry.

I've divorced before and I know the whole trying to make it work, finally having to say it's not fixable, thing. If you ever want to talk, please PM me. I do know when you pour your heart and soul into it, there is no shame in walking away. I still love my ex to pieces and we are great friends, probably better for not being married anymore. I always say I love him, we just can't live together. Hang in there. Be good to yourself!

I was thinking of going for spring break as well, if RG doesn't get to come here anyway.. MAN fares from DFW are outreageous but that is panning out to be the best time for me to get away. What is the ATI? I bet Independence Day in JA is FIYAH, that might be a good alternative for me to try one year since it is the beginning of August before school starts.

I'm so sorry to hear. Chica...I KNOW YOU TRIED!!!! Sweetheart, as you already know a marriage must be a 'we' effort not an 'I'. As always you are in my prayers.

Love you Jams and I am always here & rooting for you!
