US Immigration from Jamaica

Went to the court and let them know we need court records for immigration but instead they provided a certified letter signed by the Deputy County Clerk. The letter states the court that was attended, the judge that presided over the case, the date it happened, the charges, and the final disposition.

Would this possibly be enough or should we go back and push for the records...?

Great day!

After AP, my Jamaican fiance's passport was returned and the embassy requested to file a waiver and court documents.

He has a 10-year-old larceny in Mandeville.

Has anyone completed a waiver? Are there reliable resources on waivers?

Does anyone know the process for requesting court documents in Mandeville Jamaica? Does it cost anything?

Any information will be appreciated.

Thank you.

Hi, I'd like to share my story.

I've been working in an IT company for the past three years. Originally hired in Russia, I was relocated to Poland after six months, and then to Jamaica.

In Jamaica, my wife, daughter, and I have been living for two years now.

In February 2024, we had a visa interview at the US Embassy. The consul congratulated us, saying, "Congrats, all your visas were approved." He signed and stamped the I-129 form for three years and gave us a paper with instructions on how to collect our passports.

Later that day, when I checked the CEAC, I saw the status "Refused" on my case. A company representative reassured me, saying not to worry, as if they said the visas were approved, then they were approved.

The following week, we received our passports back, but without visas, just pink papers stating, "We cannot make a decision now. Your case is under Administrative processing." I was shocked.

I reached out to the embassy, and they confirmed the administrative processing without providing any clarification on its duration.

I began researching similar cases and potential reasons. Here's what I found:

• I'm originally from Russia.
• I work in IT.
• I have experience in a field mentioned in the Technology Alert List.

However, two weeks after me, my colleague received his visa. He is also from Russia and works in IT for the same company and we arrived to Jamaica together. The only difference is he doesn't have issues with the Technology Alert List.

Therefore, I believe I'm under administrative processing because of this Alert List.

Currently, it's been 55 days. Based on information from the embassy and people who have experience with these types of checks, most cases are resolved within 60 days. I hope so, but... you know.

Hello members!

I am trying to get information on how to proceed.

The foreign spouse was issued a J1 visa in 2020 and expired in 2022 (with covid extension) and seeks to file the AOS packet. Will she need to file the J1 waiver form and/or the I-601 forms? There is a note written on the visa that mentioned the 2 year residency requirement that was not fulfilled due to being an overstay.

Thanks for you guidance

I received a text that an action has been taken on my case but when I log in nothing new has been added or changed.
