US Immigration from Jamaica

I might be late to the game, but my son collected his passport today at the Kingston Jamaica Embassy. We were floored to have him receive just his passport and not the big manila envelope. Immigration is going PAPERLESS!!! IV was transferred electronically to CBP. Has anyone experienced this as yet? Or am I just a slow goose.

Hi, great people

Does anyone know if on the day of oath ceremony at the Los Angeles field office, can someone apply for their passport there or it has to be done at the post office ?

Hello all,

I want to know what are some activities that can be done when your immigrate spouse arrives. Work is off the table but I m sure they still want to keep busy. Is it possible for them to go to school in America right away? Any experience with the transition to America I would truly love to hear.

I read the letter stating that April 27th my case can resume after one year of negative drug test. The drug test started in October. My question is how does this process work? After April 27 the medical personnel automatically reach out to the embassy. And then the embassy reach out to me? Or do I have to initiate some action to reactive my case? Also will I have to pay for my interview and medical again? If everything go as planned how long would it take for the visa to be issued?

My son had successful interview today (3/15).

As a side note to my fellow Jamaicans, based on my son's observation: (out of maybe 15 interviewees at that sitting, my son and another guy got approved - WHY?)

1. Please please be prepared for your interviews, this could be a great opportunity for you to advance in life. At least you will have choices.

2. Don't be prissy before you even get your visa approved - respect interviewers and people around you

3. DO YOUR HOMEWORK - read, read and read more

4. Research on what the steps are before your interview (1 person didn't even do their medical)

5. Check your documents, make sure you have every single paper ready - you never know what they are going to ask for.

6. Tell the truth - they already know the answers

7. Relax and enjoy the day at the Embassy - it's just a change in life not the end of your life.

Good luck everyone!!!!
