US Immigration from Jamaica

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!!!!

It s been quite awhile since I ve been on this site participating in discussions. When my husband (now ex husband) was first denied in 2014, I took it as my mission to help others in my situation. I did that for a few years.
Well now I m back here trying to turn another negative into a positive and hoping my pain can again help others. After 5.5 years of marriage, I have discovered that I am a victim of a covert narcissist who (along with the enabling of his family) used me for a green card and a new life. I am here to speak my truth and hopefully bring awareness to Covert Narcissism, a personality disorder rampant within a society plaqued by systemic poverty and survivalist mentality.
Yes, now looking back I see the red flags I ignored and signs of deceit but it was so subtle and not knowing anything about covert narcissism I was completely blindsided.

My intention is to make future posts to help point out the signs of narcissistic personality disorder so others have the knowledge that I didn t have. Being in a long distance relationship makes it very difficult to really know a person s true character and intentions because of the limited time spent in person. It s so easy for these people to hide their real self and create a fake persona of who you want them to be. I have personally heard the stories of over a dozen women that have been take advantage of by these types of people. The events and behaviors are almost identical.

I encourage anyone who has experienced this to share your story. I am a safe place and you can also private message me.

Am I (principal sponsor) required to fill out section 7 : Use of Assets on I864 form when I m using a joint sponsor? I m not working but I do have some savings. Do I still have to provide bank account info if I have joint sponsor?
